Abstract: A filler material dispensing and recycling machine including an emptying table with louvers for directing a flow of air over the surface of the table. Incoming packages may be emptied on the table, the items packed therein removed from the filler material which also was therein, and then the air flow sweeps the filler material from the table and back into a filler material hopper. Outgoing containers may also be packed with filler material, arriving on a conveyor, passing under a dispensing tube connected to the filler material hopper, filled with filler material from the hopper, and then traveling onward on the conveyor. A collection hopper adjacent the edge of the emptying table collects filler material swept off the table, and presents the filler material to an air conveyor system which carries the filler material back to the filler material hopper.
