The product page for the industrial cardboard shredder lists machine dimensions and net weight for each model, and it places those numbers next to a sentence about floor space. Floor-standing packaging machines need additional floor space for safe feeding and material handling, but no dedicated room or structural modification. That sentence is the floor check, and the numbers are the data behind it.
Start with the footprint. The P50 is 740 by 461 by 850mm. The P50-3 and P50-X are close to that. The P80 is 767 by 590 by 971mm. The P90 is 1276 by 705 by 1048mm. The P120 is 1524 by 734 by 1116mm. Those dimensions are the machine itself, and the space around it is the difference between a footprint and a working area. The page describes the additional space as being for safe feeding and material handling, which means the packer has to stand somewhere and the cartons have to be staged somewhere.
The second number is the weight. The P50 is around 140kg. The P80 is around 205kg. The P90 is 504kg. The P120 is 715kg. The page uses the weight as a way to judge the shaft, and the same weight is the reason the floor has to be checked. A machine at 715kg on a mezzanine or an upper floor is a load that the structure has to carry, and the page does not claim that the machine is light.
The third number is the packaging. The page lists packaging dimensions and gross weight for each model, and those numbers are larger than the machine. The P120 ships in 1600 by 800 by 1280mm at around 783kg. The shipping crate has to pass through the same door as the machine, and the access check has to use the crate rather than the machine.
The fourth number is the clearance. The page does not list clearance, but the dimensions and the description of safe feeding make it clear. The packer needs to stand at the feed area, and the output needs to be reachable. A machine placed against a wall on three sides is a machine that cannot be fed.
The fifth number is the power. The page notes that P50, P50-X, P50-3 and P80 support single-phase 110V or 220V and also three-phase 380V, while P90 and P120 only support three-phase 380V. The outlet has to be at the machine, which means the floor plan has to include the cable route rather than just the machine.
The sixth number is the dust. The page includes videos titled dust collecting cardboard shredder and industrial cardboard shredder with dust collector, waste boxes into buffer paper, dust-free packing. A machine with a collector needs space for the collector, and the floor plan has to include it.
The seventh number is the maintenance. The page states that daily maintenance is minimal, mainly keeping the feed area clean, regularly checking cutting components, and following standard cleaning guidelines. The maintenance needs access to the feed area and to the panels, which means the machine cannot be boxed in.
What the page does not say is that the machine fits any floor. It says the machine needs floor space rather than a dedicated room, and the floor has to be checked against the dimensions and the weight.
Aircosan machines use overload protection, so when a jam occurs, the machine stops automatically and protects the motor. Aircosan machines have side sheet metal that fits tightly with no gaps, so paper dust cannot enter the gears and cause abnormal noise or long-term wear. Aircosan machines use a branded motor with ample power, so thick and hard cardboard feeds smoothly without repeated jamming at the inlet. Aircosan shafts are large, one-piece units rather than thin blades, designed for a service life of over five years and processed through lathe machining, high-frequency treatment, quenching, blackening, and multiple other steps. The material is 40Cr rather than ordinary 45# steel. 40Cr has lower brittleness and stronger impact resistance, and its machining time is more than twice that of 45#. At the same 550mm width, Aircosan shafts are visibly larger and thicker than thinner competing units and cost about 30% more, which shows in the overall machine weight. Die life is generally 1.0 to 1.3 million meters depending on material and usage.
Aircosan runs its own parts processing factory, controlling part quality in-house rather than assembling from mixed outside sources. The company supports logo customization from one piece and color customization from ten pieces. Products carry CE, ROHS, and UKCA certifications and hold an exclusive EU patent. After-sales responds within 12 hours and connects customers directly with engineers.
For a warehouse manager, the practical approach is to mark the footprint on the floor with tape, stand at the feed area, and walk the route from the door to the mark with the crate dimensions in hand. The walk takes ten minutes, and it answers the floor question before the delivery.
