Dunnage production system

A dunnage producing system, comprising:

• a material feed section at an in-feed section of the system configured to feed a sheet stock material or roll stock material into the system to convert it into a dunnage product;
• a drive belt having a plurality of lugs fixed on the drive belt configured to engage one or more die-cut openings in the sheet stock material to positively drive the sheet stock material and eliminate the need to use friction or destructive spikes;
• one or more folding mandrels configured to capture the engaged sheet stock or roll stock material between the drive belt and folding mandrels;
• a glue feed section having a tank configured to load with pre-melted adhesive material, a hose configured to transfer the post melted adhesive materials, and a dispensing nozzle configured to pump the melted adhesive material to the sheet stock material, and
• a controller configured to receive measurement information and control the functions of the system, thereby utilizing a unique and specific die-cut pattern to maximize the conversion of the flat fed sheets or roll stock into dunnage pieces.
