Overview
The SEALED AIR® Automated Void Sensing System inspects each box inline using a photo eye and barcode scanner to calculate void volume and command the FasFil® Jet paper dispenser to deliver the precise amount of cushioning. Integrated with conveyors and FasFil® Jet, the system automates void-fill dispensing with 100% curbside recyclable paper, reducing material waste, increasing throughput, and minimizing manual handling while improving packing consistency.
