The line includes:

• Buffer tank
• Raw material weighing system
• Two vacuum packing stations
• Control system for the entire assembly including HMI touch panel

The buffer tank is filled automatically by the upstream machine, e.g. carding machine, ball fibre machine, foam shredding machine, etc. A product sensor located at the top of the tank, by detecting the raw material, can automatically stop the feed from the upstream machine. The fill size is selected from the touch panel. The most efficient operation of the machine is during the filling of pillows weighing between 500 g and 1,000 g. After weighing out a preset amount of pillow fill, the raw material is sucked inside the pillow. Two filling stations allow to maintain the production continuity. While at the first station the filling of the cover takes place, at the same time, at the other station the pillow is waiting to be replaced. The filling stations open and close automatically using pneumatics and are triggered manually with two buttons by the operator.

Pillows can be filled with:

• silicone carded fibers
• ball fibers
• polyurethane foam stick
• foam granules
• mixes or anything loose
