Abstract

A cushioning conversion machine (100) and related methodology characterized by one or more features including a feeding/connecting assembly (111) which enables an operator to easily vary a characteristic, for example density, of the cushioning product; a feeding/connecting assembly (111) wherein input and/or output wheels or rollers (127) thereof are made of at least in part of an elastomeric or other friction enhancing material, which reduces the cost and complexity of the input and output rollers (127); a modular arrangement of a forming assembly (110) and feeding/connecting assembly (111) in separate units that may be positioned remotely from one another, as may be desired for more efficient utilization of floor space; a turner bar (118) which enables alternative positioning a stock supply roll; and a volume expanding arrangement (370) cooperative with the feeding/connecting assembly (111) for reducing the density of the cushioning product and increasing product yield.
