Loose Fill Machine

This Loose Fill Machine is a specialized production equipment focused on manufacturing starch loose fill peanuts—a eco-friendly, cushioning packaging material. It boasts a maximum production capacity of 100kg/hr (220lb/hr), with clear power, space, and finished product specifications, making it suitable for packaging enterprises, logistics companies, and businesses needing efficient, customizable loose fill supply.

Description

As a professional Loose Fill Machine for starch-based loose fill peanuts, it adopts an integrated extrusion-forming process to convert starch raw materials into lightweight, shock-absorbing loose fill. The workflow starts with raw material feeding: starch is conveyed to the 60A extruder (the core power unit), where it is fully mixed and plasticized under precise temperature control. The molten starch material is then extruded through a dedicated die head, and with the assistance of 2 blowers (10A each) providing high-pressure air, it forms irregular loose fill peanut particles.

The machine requires a total power supply of 60 Amps @ 480 Volts (with Neutral) plus 15A @ 120V to ensure stable operation of all components, while the recommended factory space is 1200sqft—sufficient for raw material storage, machine operation, and finished product collection. In terms of finished goods, it specializes in starch loose fill peanuts: currently, the finished shape is fixed (no variety available), but custom colors can be provided based on minimum order quantities. For density, it aligns with typical client target requirements, supporting production of loose fill with a density range of 0.4lb/cuft - 0.55lb/cuft to match different cushioning and packaging weight needs.

Applicantion

The starch loose fill peanuts produced by this machine are widely used in eco-friendly cushioning packaging scenarios, with core applications including:
E-commerce fragile goods packaging: Used as gap-filling material in shipping boxes for ceramics, glassware, handmade crafts, and small electronics. The starch-based material is lightweight, shock-absorbing, and avoids scratching product surfaces, while being biodegradable to reduce environmental impact.
Food & beverage packaging: Applied in packaging fragile food containers (e.g., glass jars of jam, ceramic tea sets). The non-toxic starch loose fill meets food contact safety standards, ensuring no contamination of food products during transit.
Cosmetics & premium goods packaging: Used for filling luxury cosmetic boxes, perfume gift sets, and skincare kits. Custom colors can be matched to brand tones, enhancing the unboxing experience while protecting delicate products from collision damage.
Medical & pharmaceutical packaging: Suitable for cushioning small medical devices (e.g., oral thermometers, portable blood glucose meters) and pharmaceutical glass bottles. The dust-free, clean starch loose fill complies with hygiene requirements for medical packaging.
Stationery & gift shipping: Used in packaging fragile stationery (e.g., fountain pens, glass ink bottles) and handcrafted gifts. Its low density (0.4lb/cuft - 0.55lb/cuft) reduces package weight, lowering shipping costs for small-batch shipments.
This Loose Fill Machine is an ideal choice for eco-conscious packaging manufacturers, e-commerce logistics companies, food/beverage suppliers, and medical packaging enterprises—providing efficient, customizable, and sustainable starch loose fill solutions to improve product transportation safety.
