Our machinery is designed for a wide range of manufacturing applications, including pillow production, cushion filling, sofa manufacturing, plush toy stuffing, pet bed production, mattress-related applications, and fiber processing.

We offer equipment configurations for small workshops, growing businesses, and industrial production facilities.

2. Fiber Materials & Processing

Q3: What types of fiber can INNOLD machines process?

Depending on the machine model, INNOLD equipment can process polyester staple fiber, PP cotton, hollow conjugated fiber, siliconized polyester fiber, recycled polyester fiber, and other suitable textile filling materials.

Different fibers have different characteristics. We recommend confirming fiber specifications before selecting a machine to ensure suitable processing performance.

Q4: What is a fiber opening machine, and why is it important?

A fiber opening machine separates compressed or tangled fiber into a loose, fluffy form before filling or further processing.

Proper fiber opening helps improve fiber distribution, filling consistency, and the appearance of finished pillows, cushions, and plush toys.

It is an important part of many fiber filling production lines.

Q5: What is the difference between a fiber opening machine and a Fabric Shredding Machine?

A fiber opening machine is mainly designed to loosen and separate fiber filling materials while maintaining suitable fiber characteristics for subsequent processing.

A fabric shredding machine is used to break down textile scraps, fabric offcuts, or waste materials into smaller pieces.

The appropriate machine depends on your raw material and intended finished product.

Q6: Can INNOLD fiber opening machines process recycled polyester fiber?

Yes. Suitable INNOLD fiber opening machine models can process recycled polyester fiber and certain recycled filling materials.

However, processing results depend on fiber length, cleanliness, moisture content, and material condition.

We recommend testing your specific recycled material before selecting a machine.

Q7: Do I need a fiber mixing machine in my production line?

A fiber mixing machine is useful when your production requires blending different fibers or compatible filling materials to achieve more consistent filling characteristics.

For production involving only one suitable fiber type, a separate mixing machine may not always be necessary.

INNOLD can recommend the appropriate configuration based on your materials and production process.

3. Pillow, Cushion & Toy Filling Machines

Q8: What is the difference between a pillow filling machine and a toy stuffing machine?

A pillow filling machine is mainly designed to fill pillows, cushions, and similar textile products efficiently.

A toy stuffing machine is designed for filling plush toys and stuffed animals, including products with smaller or irregularly shaped sections.

The two types of machines differ in filling outlet design, operating method, and suitable applications.

Q9: Should I choose a single-port or dual-port toy stuffing machine?

A single-port toy stuffing machine is a practical option for smaller workshops or operations with lower filling demand.

A dual-port toy stuffing machine provides two filling outlets, allowing more flexible operation and potentially higher productivity when suitable staffing and product handling are available.

The best choice depends on your production volume, toy sizes, and working process.

Q10: Can one filling machine produce pillows, cushions, and pet beds?

Some fiber filling machines can be used for different products, including pillows, cushions, and pet beds.

However, compatibility depends on product dimensions, filling materials, filling outlet design, and production requirements.

Share your product samples or specifications with INNOLD to confirm whether one machine can meet your needs.

Q11: What is a Quantitative Fiber Filling Machine?

A quantitative fiber filling machine is designed to measure and dispense a preset weight of filling material into products such as pillows and cushions.

Compared with purely manual filling, quantitative filling can help improve filling weight consistency and reduce repetitive weighing work.

Actual filling accuracy and productivity depend on the machine configuration, fiber properties, and operating conditions.

Q12: Can INNOLD machines process both polyester fiber and shredded foam?

INNOLD offers equipment for fiber processing as well as sponge and foam crushing applications.

For products requiring a combination of polyester fiber and foam, the appropriate preparation, mixing, and filling equipment should be selected according to material characteristics.

Q13: Can pillows and cushions be compressed for packaging after filling?

Yes. INNOLD offers pillow and cushion compression packaging equipment designed to reduce packaging volume and improve storage and transportation efficiency.

Suitable packaging methods depend on product size, filling material, and recovery requirements.

Compression settings should be tested to ensure the packaged products meet your quality expectations.

4. Complete Production Lines & Capacity

Q14: What machines are included in a complete pillow filling production line?

A typical pillow filling production line may include:

Fiber Feeding Machine
Fiber Opening Machine
Fiber Suction or Conveying Machine
Fiber Mixing Machine (optional)
Pillow Filling Machine
Compression Packaging Machine (optional)

The equipment combination depends on the raw materials, required production capacity, factory layout, and level of automation.

Q15: Can INNOLD customize a complete fiber filling production line?

Yes. INNOLD provides customized fiber processing and filling production line solutions.

We can recommend different machine combinations based on your products, fiber materials, output requirements, available floor space, and automation needs.

Our goal is to help you select equipment that fits your actual production process rather than supplying unnecessary machinery.

Q16: What production capacity can INNOLD fiber opening machines achieve?

INNOLD offers fiber opening machine models covering different capacity requirements, with available options ranging approximately from 30 kg/h to 1,000 kg/h.

Actual output depends on the machine model, fiber type, material condition, and operating parameters.

Q17: Do you offer semi-automatic and fully automatic filling production lines?

Yes. INNOLD provides different levels of automation depending on the production application.

Semi-automatic configurations may be suitable for smaller factories with flexible production requirements.

More automated production lines can integrate material feeding, fiber opening, conveying, and filling to reduce manual handling.

The final automation level depends on your production process and budget.

Q18: Can one production line manufacture different types of products?

Some INNOLD production lines can support multiple products, such as pillows, cushions, and other fiber-filled items, with suitable equipment configurations or adjustments.

However, different products may require specific filling machines or outlet designs.

Our team can help evaluate product compatibility before recommending a production line.

Q19: What power supply and air compressor are required?

Electrical power and compressed air requirements depend on the machine model, motor configuration, and selected production line.

INNOLD can customize machine voltage and electrical specifications for different countries and factory requirements.

For machines requiring compressed air, we can recommend an appropriate air compressor specification after confirming the equipment configuration.

Q20: How much factory space is required for a complete fiber filling line?

The required floor space depends on machine dimensions, the number of production stages, material storage, maintenance access, and operator working areas.

Compact configurations may be suitable for small workshops, while higher-capacity production lines generally require more space.

You can send us your workshop dimensions or layout drawing so we can recommend a suitable equipment arrangement.

5. Machine Selection & Purchasing

Q21: How do I choose the right fiber opening or filling machine?

Selecting the right machine depends on several important factors:

Type of finished product
Raw material and fiber specifications
Required production capacity
Product size and filling weight
