Abstract: A bag for producing a foam-in-bag dunnage material comprises a closed edge portion and, in a non-sealed state of the bag, an open edge portion, the closed and open edge portions delimiting an inner bag volume. The invention proposes that a bag structure of the bag comprises a mixing chamber which is adapted to receive foam precursor substances, which is arranged within the inner bag volume, which is at least partially and initially delimited against the remainder of the inner bag volume, and which in the non-sealed state of the bag is connected to the open edge portion.

Abstract: A machine for producing a foam-in-bag dunnage material comprises first and second foam precursor inlets for first and second foam precursor substances, a first mixing chamber for mixing the first and second foam precursor substances into a first mixture, and a first dispenser for dispensing the first mixture. It is proposed that the machine comprises a branch-off-device fluidly arranged between the first and second foam precursor inlets and the first mixing chamber and having first and second foam precursor outlets towards the first mixing chamber and third and fourth foam precursor outlets towards an interface device, the interface device being adapted to fluidly connect to a second mixing chamber for mixing the first and second foam precursor substances into a second mixture.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating preforms made of thermoplastic material includes a conveyance device for preforms having a longitudinal axis of extension intended to move the preforms along a predefined path. The apparatus further includes a heating component arranged along at least one portion of the predefined path. The heating component includes at least one heating element and at least one front reflective element, which are mutually opposite with respect to the predefined path in order to form between them a transit tunnel for the preforms. The heating element includes IR (Infra-Red) and/or NIR (Near-Infra-Red) lamps. The front reflective element includes at least one contoured plate-like body in order to form, in the direction of extension of the predefined path, an alternation of closer portions and spaced portions with respect to the predefined path that is extended substantially parallel to the axes of extension of the preforms.
