ABSTRACT:
A packaging system and method according to the invention are generally characterized by a cushioning conversion machine for forming and dispensing cut sections of a cushioning product through a discharge outlet, an inclined dispensing chute for sequentially receiving the cut sections of the cushioning product, a cut section presence detector for detecting the presence of a cut section on the inclined chute at a pick-up location remote from the discharge outlet of the conversion machine, and a controller which initiates dispensing of a cut section of cushioning product in response to a detected absence of a cut section by the cut section presence detector. The dispensing chute, which is located adjacent the discharge opening for receiving the cut sections of the cushioning product, has a downwardly sloped bottom surface onto which the cut section of the cushioning product is deposited for sliding by gravity to a lower end of said dispensing chute where an abutment forms a stop engageable by a leading end of the cut section. The abutment or stop thus prevents further downward movement of the cut section and thereby holds the cut section at the pick-up position. The chute also has upright side walls for guiding the cut section along the sloped bottom surface and a downwardly inclined top wall adjacent the discharge outlet of the conversion machine. The chute at its lower end has an open top through which the cut section may be removed form the chute.
