Abstract: A tabletop converter has a conversion assembly that inwardly gathers and crumples a stock material to form a strip of dunnage. The conversion assembly includes a feeding assembly that moves the stock material and a controller that controls the feeding assembly to operate in both a forward direction and a reverse direction. To automatically separate a discrete dunnage product from the strip, a holder grabs and holds the strip of dunnage at a holding location downstream of the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly then operates in a reverse direction and urges the strip away from the holding location. This causes the strip to separate at or between the holding location and the feeding assembly, leaving a discrete dunnage product ready for use. The converter is mounted to a stand that allows the converter to rotate relative to part of the stand about both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for converting a slit-sheet stock material (16) into an expanded dunnage product (12) includes a housing (20), a pair of rollers (22, 24) within the housing extending widthwise across a path of the sheet material, and a plurality of guide strips (90) extending from an upstream side of the pair of rollers to a downstream side of the pair of rollers at a plurality of locations spaced across the width of the path. The guide strips guide the sheet material between and around the rollers. Exemplary rollers have a plurality of grooves spaced across the width of the path, and the guide strips are received in respective grooves. The guide strips may be connected by a crossbar to form a guide member.
