Abstract

In the field of packaging materials there is a need to produce a coil of cushioning product to block or brace relatively large or heavy items during shipping.
A cushioning conversion system (20; 120; 320) and method for making a coil of cushioning product, includes a cushioning conversion machine (22; 122; 322), a coiler (24; 124; 324) and a guide device (26; 326). As a strip of cushioning product (S) is emitted from the cushioning conversion machine (22; 122; 322), the coiler (24; 124; 324) rolls the strip of cushioning product (S) into a coiled configuration to form a coil of cushioning product (C). The guide device (26; 326) guides the strip of cushioning product (S) form the cushioning conversion machine outlet (34) to the coiler (24; 124).
