The QVC automatic vacuum feeding machine utilizes compressed air to realize material conveying. Requiring no mechanical type vacuum pump, the compressed air passes through the vacuum generator of the vacuum feeder, thus high vacuum environment is created.
Longford designs and manufactures a number of custom feeder / Bander systems that may be used to collate/ batch count/ and band a wide variety of paper products such as pharma leaflets, currency, stamps, envelopes, direct mail pieces, post cards, trading cards and any other flat products. Banding offer massive cost savings to traditional packaging and is much more ecologically friendly that normal flowrapping, over wrapping and/ or shrink wrapping
