SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The H-7259 Instant Bubble Roll Machine creates on-demand, air-filled cushioning material from a
compact/uninflated pre-formed roll of material. The inflated material chain is perforated into sections and can easily be separated by the operator as needed.
There are three modes of operation:

MANUAL MODE

• Press start key to begin producing material and the stop key to end

BATCH MODE

• Dispense a programmed length of

ROLL WINDER MODE

• Requires optional roll winder (H-7283) and stand (H-7284).
• Dispense a roll of inflated

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

WARNING! Use of extension cord will increase the levels of static, resulting in operational problems.
Inflatable Cushioning System: 115 VAC
Receptacle Type: NEMA 5-15R
A/C Voltage: 100-120 VAC 50/60 Hz Phase: Single Phase Grounded Current: 15A Service 4.0A

2. Feed the material into the system. (See Figure 10)
   
   

• Lower the clamp handle to open the edge seal
• Thread the material under the black directional
• Spread the open end of the material and wrap around the inflation nozzle (bent metal tube) and the material “flapper.”
• Thread between the two wheels on the edge seal

3. Close the clamp and make a few feet of inflated cushioning (See Figure 11)
   
   

• While maintaining tension on the material, raise the clamp handle to close the edge seal

    NOTE: If the material is not inflating and/or sealing after 8″, re-

feed the material.
