How Does a Bubble Mailer Machine Work
The working process of the bubble mailer machine is a highly precise and coordinated automated procedure, covering multiple stages such as raw material unwinding, multi-layer compounding, folding and shaping, and high-frequency sealing.
1. Raw Material Unrolling and Tension Control
At the beginning of production, multiple roll racks will be placed at the rear end of the bubble mailer making machine. Usually, this includes one layer of outer material (such as kraft paper or aluminum foil) and one layer of inner bubble film. Advanced air bubble film mailer machines are equipped with an automatic tension control system to ensure that the materials do not break due to excessive tension during high-speed transportation, nor do they shift the bonding position due to insufficient tension.
2. Hot Press Lamination
This is the core step of the kraft paper bubble mailer machine. The machine evenly heats the bonding material through the heating rollers, allowing the outer material to closely adhere to the bubble film. If producing the insulation bags required by the aluminum foil bubble mailer machine, this process also needs precise temperature control to ensure that the aluminum foil layer is not scorched and the sealing is secure.
3. Folding and Gluing/Taping
The composite material enters the folding mold and is precisely folded according to the set dimensions. During this stage, the bubble mailer making machine simultaneously implants and fixes the zippers. For ordinary envelope bags, the machine will automatically apply hot melt glue or attach double-sided adhesive strips at the sealing point and cover it with a release paper layer.
4. Sealing and Cutting
The folded continuous material passes through the longitudinal and transverse sealing knives. The bubble mailer machine uses ultrasonic or heat sealing technology to quickly reinforce and seal the bag edges. Subsequently, the high-speed cutting knife makes precise cuts according to the preset bag length.
