Import Air Basic — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Italy

Air Basic is a patented air-bubble film production system developed by Torninova Group in Umbria, Italy, designed to address cost and efficiency challenges in protective packaging. The machine automates the manufacturing of multilayer air bubble film, allowing operators to switch between materials, bubble sizes, and film types within minutes without tooling changes. Its PLC-controlled interface enables programming of roll lengths, cutting distances, temperatures, and nip roll speeds for precise output.

The system’s versatility stems from its ability to produce custom bubble films on demand, reducing reliance on pre-manufactured stock and eliminating transportation costs for finished rolls. Standard configurations support bubble diameters from 6 mm to 32 mm, with film widths up to 1,200 mm and typical line speeds of 30 to 60 metres per minute. Energy consumption is optimised through variable speed drives and efficient heating elements, aligning with the supplier’s focus on operational cost savings.

Primary users include packaging converters, e-commerce fulfilment centres, and manufacturers seeking just-in-time production of protective materials. The system’s compact footprint and single-operator design make it suitable for in-house production, particularly for businesses with variable demand. Buyers should confirm the machine’s compatibility with their preferred materials (e.g., LDPE, HDPE) and the maximum roll diameter it can handle for seamless integration into existing workflows.

Torninova Group is based in Bastia Umbra, Umbria, Italy, and specialises in the development of packaging machinery, with a focus on air-bubble film production systems. The company’s Air Basic model is the result of two decades of experience in the sector, incorporating patented technology to improve flexibility and reduce operational costs. Its systems are designed to solve common industry pain points, such as high transportation and storage expenses for pre-made films.

The supplier’s profile highlights a commitment to automation and energy efficiency, with machines controlled via PLC and touch screen interfaces for ease of use. While the listing does not provide details on production capacity or client references, the emphasis on rapid changeovers and single-operator functionality suggests a focus on practical, scalable solutions for mid-sized producers. Buyers should request case studies or references to assess real-world performance.
