Honeycomb paper making machines
Machines that die cut plain kraft rolls into expandable honeycomb cushioning paper, with cutting and rewinding in the same line.
Honeycomb paper works by geometry rather than by thickness. A pattern of slits cut across the web lets the paper open into a three dimensional cell structure when it is pulled, and that structure is what absorbs impact. Flat, it is just kraft; expanded, it is a cushioning material.
That makes the cutting tool the heart of the machine. Slit spacing and slit length determine how far the web expands, how deep the cells are and how much cushioning a given weight of paper delivers. It also determines how much the web shortens as it opens, which is the number that surprises new converters.
Tell us the roll width you buy and the cushioning depth you need, and we configure the machine around those rather than selling a fixed model. The cutting and rewinding stages are part of the same line, so the output is a finished roll rather than a web that still needs handling.
