더니지 가공 시스템은 시트 원료재(14)를 비교적 저밀도의 더니지 스트립으로 전환하는 가공기; 스트립을 코일로 감는 권취 기구(20); 스트립의 끝부분을 코일에 자동으로 고정시키는 테이핑 기구(22); 및 권취 기구로부터 코일을 자동으로 제거하는 코일 배출 기구(24)를 포함한다. 테이핑 기구는 가공기(12)의 출구(26)와 권취 기구 사이에서 스트립을 권취 기구로 안내하고, 스트립의 끝부분에 부착되게 테이프(92)를 안내하며, 스트립의 끝부분을 코일에 고정하는 안내면(70)을 포함한다. 코일 배출 기구(24)는 완성된 코일을 권취 기구의 밖으로 밀어붙이도록 선회하는 레버 아암(126)을 포함한다. An automatic coil ejecting mechanism in combination with a dunnage conversion machine capable of producing a strip of dunnage and dispensing the strip of dunnage through an outlet, and a coiling mechanism downstream of the outlet that is capable of rolling a strip of dunnage about a coil axis that is generally horizontal to produce a coiled dunnage product, the coil ejecting mechanism comprising: a lever arm having a generally vertical pivot axis about which the lever arm is rotatable between a ready position in which the coiled dunnage product is produced by the coiling mechanism and an ejection position in which the coiled dunnage product is ejected from the coiling mechanism, the lever arm being mounted at the pivot axis to a support frame secured to the dunnage conversion machine, and a push plate mounted to the lever arm at a location spaced from the pivot axis, the push plate having a surface that is parallel to a pivot plate that includes the pivot axis, where the pivot plane is perpendicular to the coil axis when the lever arm is in the ready position, and where the push plate is capable of ejecting the coiled dunnage product when the lever arm is in the ejection position.
