Remote manufacturing sites-mines, processing plants, offshore facilities, and industrial complexes-often operate far from conventional supply chains. Shipping packaging materials to these locations is expensive and logistically complex. Yet these sites often generate substantial cardboard waste from incoming supplies and components. Converting that waste into usable packaging material provides significant operational and cost benefits.
The Aircosan PT10 enables self-contained packaging production at remote manufacturing sites. This desktop unit converts waste cardboard into uniform strips at 35cm width, 10mm thickness capacity, and 10 meters per minute speed. The self-contained operation requires no special infrastructure or external services. Workers can produce void-fill from cardboard already present at the remote location.
Aircosan builds this equipment in our own facility, also manufacturing systems up to 120cm wide. The PT10 shares engineering standards with our larger equipment. The unit operates from standard power, requiring no special installation or infrastructure.
For remote manufacturing operations, the PT10 eliminates dependence on distant packaging supply chains. Instead of shipping void-fill materials to remote locations, the unit produces from available cardboard. Compared to transporting packaging supplies hundreds or thousands of miles, the PT10 reduces logistics costs and supply chain complexity. The PT10 helps remote manufacturing sites achieve packaging self-sufficiency while reducing material costs and supporting environmental goals.
