For furniture exporters, reducing shipping volume without compromising product quality is a top priority. The NG-40M Automatic Sofa Compression Machine offers an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution for sofa manufacturers who need to prepare products for international shipping. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, from preparation to final packing, ensuring your export operations run smoothly.

Step 1: Prepare the Sofa for Compression

Before operating the NG-40M, make sure:

The sofa is clean, dry, and free from loose parts.
Any detachable cushions or components are removed and packed separately if needed.
Protective film or wrapping material is applied to prevent scratches during compression.

Pro Tip: Use high-quality PE or PVC film for better moisture resistance during transit.

Step 2: Set the Compression Parameters

The NG-40M allows operators to set:

Compression pressure based on sofa size and material.
Hold time to ensure the sofa retains its compressed form before release.
Safety limits to prevent over-compression.

Adjust these settings according to the type of sofa—fabric, leather, or modular designs.

Step 3: Load the Sofa onto the Compression Platform

Position the sofa evenly on the machine’s platform.
Ensure the sofa is aligned with the compression plates for even pressure.
Activate the safety locking mechanism before starting the process.

Tip: Always follow the loading diagram provided in the NG-40M manual to avoid machine wear and product damage.

Step 4: Start the Compression Cycle

With settings ready and the sofa secured:

Press the Start button on the control panel.
The NG-40M will automatically lower the compression plate and apply the set pressure.
Wait for the compression cycle to finish—usually under 60 seconds for most sofas.

Step 5: Apply the Export Packing

Once compressed:

Wrap the sofa tightly with stretch film to maintain its reduced volume.
For sea freight, consider adding an additional waterproof layer.
Seal the package with strong packing tape or straps to prevent expansion.

Step 6: Prepare for Palletizing & Container Loading

Place the compressed sofa onto pallets for easier forklift handling.
Stack according to weight limits and container dimensions.
Label each package with product details, handling instructions, and export documentation.
