Ceramics and bathroom fixture manufacturers produce products that are heavy, brittle, and easily damaged during shipping. Toilets, bathtubs, sinks, vanity tops, and ceramic crafts have irregular shapes and finished surfaces that require careful packaging. Traditional foam inserts provide good protection but require custom tooling for each product shape, adding cost and lead time. Crumpled paper lacks consistency and may not provide adequate cushioning for heavy items.
The Aircosan P30 addresses this with adaptable honeycomb mesh. This desktop unit handles 55cm width and 10mm thickness, running at 10 meters per minute. The mesh conforms to various shapes without custom tooling, providing consistent cushioning for different ceramic products. Workers can produce material on demand from waste cardboard arriving with incoming shipments.
Aircosan builds this equipment in our own facility, also producing systems up to 120cm wide. The P30 shares engineering standards with our larger systems, ensuring consistent output quality. The mesh maintains uniform characteristics throughout production runs, providing predictable protection for heavy, brittle items.
For ceramic manufacturers, the P30 eliminates the lead time and expense of custom foam tooling. Different product shapes can be packaged using the same mesh material, simplifying operations. Compared to foam inserts, the mesh provides comparable protection while reducing costs and eliminating the need for storage of multiple insert types. For bathroom fixture suppliers shipping various product lines, the P30 provides one material that works across different shapes. The unit helps ceramics businesses reduce packaging costs, simplify operations, and maintain protection quality for heavy, fragile items.
