Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of cardboard can I feed it?
Dry, uncoated corrugated board only. Waxed, coated, laminated or damp board is not suitable and will not convert into usable packing material. Single-wall and double-wall corrugated are both fine as long as the thickness at the intake stays within 15 mm - that is either one thicker sheet or two to three thinner ones fed together. Remove tape, staples and heavy plastic labels before feeding.
How much packing material does it actually produce?
intimus rates the PacMaster S at up to 7 cubic metres per hour of finished material, with an output width up to 425 mm. That is a peak figure with an operator feeding continuously. In a typical packing operation the machine is run in bursts to replenish a hopper at the bench rather than continuously, and most sites find one machine keeps several packers supplied.
Does it shred confidential information off the boxes?
No, and it should not be sold as if it does. The PacMaster S perforates and trims cardboard into a cushioning mat; addresses, barcodes and branding remain legible on the output. It carries no DIN 66399 security level because it is not a destruction device. If you need packaging destroyed rather than reused, use a shredder rated for cardboard such as the intimus OmniShred 85 or 115.
What electrical supply does this version need?
This part number, 347904, is the 220 V three-phase configuration - that is what the model designation refers to. The motor is rated at 2,200 W nominal with a 2,600 W draw. Have an electrician confirm the supply and provide the appropriate three-phase connection before delivery. If you only have single-phase power available at the packing bench, tell us before ordering so we can confirm what is available for your site.
Is it noisy enough to be a problem on a packing floor?
62 dB(A) at idle, rising under load. On a warehouse or fulfilment floor that is unremarkable and quieter than most conveyor and taping equipment. In a quiet office environment it would be intrusive, but that is not where this machine belongs. No hearing protection requirement arises from the idle figure; assess your own working environment if the machine runs continuously.
How much space does it need?
The unit is 69 cm wide, 47 cm deep and 95 cm tall, and weighs 176 kg. It needs feed clearance in front and a catch area or hopper for the output. At that weight it sits permanently where you install it - plan the position around the packing workflow, and check floor loading and the delivery route before it arrives.
