How do compressed air filling guns work?
Step-by-step instructions for filling dunnage bags
- Preparation: Before you start, make sure that the compressor for dunnage bags is properly connected
and ready for use. Also check the filling gun for any damage or leaks.
- Make the connection: Connect the filling gun to the air connection of the compressor. Make sure that
the connection is tight!
- Position the dunnage bag: Place the empty dunnage bag in the gap between the loads to be filled.
Ensure that the bag is positioned evenly to achieve optimum stabilisation.
- Regulate the air supply: Activate the compressed air filling gun and slowly fill the dunnage bag with
air. Monitor the air pressure to ensure that the bag is neither overfilled nor underfilled. Many modern
filling guns have regulators that allow you to precisely control the pressure.
- Finalising: Once the bag is sufficiently full and firmly seated between the loads, stop the air supply and carefully remove the filling gun. Make sure that the dunnage bag does not slip after filling.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Overfilling the dunnage bag: One mistake is overfilling the dunnage bag, which can lead to bursting
or limited stabilisation.
- Insufficient filling: Insufficient filling means that the dunnage bag does not exert enough pressure
on the load and therefore cannot stabilise effectively. Check the air pressure regularly during
filling.
- Incorrect positioning of the dunnage bag: Ensure that the dunnage bag is positioned evenly between
the loads. Uneven placement can lead to insufficient stabilisation, which in turn increases the risk of the
load slipping.
Maintenance and care of the filling gun
- Regular cleaning: After each use, the filling gun should be cleaned to remove dust and dirt that can
accumulate over time. This prevents any impairment of functionality.
- Checking the seals: Regularly check the seals of the filling gun to ensure that no air is leaking.
Defective seals should be replaced immediately.
- Storage: Store the filling gun in a dry and clean place to avoid corrosion or damage. Avoid exposing
the device to unnecessarily high pressure or extreme temperatures.
