Automotive parts and industrial fasteners demand packaging that can withstand rough handling during shipping. Engine blocks, transmission housings, brake drums, and chassis components are dense and irregularly shaped. Bolts, nuts, washers, and screws need protection against scratching and corrosion. Traditional plastic bubble wrap and foam inserts provide adequate protection but create waste and increase costs.
The Aircosan P20 offers a practical alternative. This desktop unit converts waste cardboard into honeycomb mesh cushioning at 45cm width, 10mm thickness capacity, and 10 meters per minute speed. The mesh conforms around irregular shapes, providing consistent protection without the expense of custom foam inserts. Workers feed used boxes into the machine and produce protective material on demand.
Aircosan operates our own manufacturing facility, where we also build equipment up to 120cm wide. The P20 shares engineering standards with our larger industrial systems, ensuring reliable performance in workshop environments. The machine requires minimal floor space and operates quietly enough for use near assembly areas.
Compared to plastic bubble wrap, the mesh provides superior shock absorption without static buildup-critical for sensitive electronic components found in modern vehicles. Unlike foam peanuts that create mess and disposal issues, the honeycomb structure is clean and fully recyclable. For fastener manufacturers, the consistent cushioning prevents scratching during transit. For heavy equipment suppliers, it eliminates the need for expensive custom packaging. The P20 helps automotive businesses reduce material costs while meeting sustainability goals.
