BR900 Shrink Bander

The BR900 Bander is designed to count and band most paper products. For example, the BR900 can be used to continuously count and band:

  • Post Cards
  • Lottery Tickets
  • Stickers
  • Small Pharmaceutical Cartons
  • Envelopes
  • Other flat, low profile products such as computer Disks, Paper Sheets, Beer Labels may also be banded

The BR900 Bander is designed to count and band product into stacks, decreasing the time needed to manually count items out of inventory for filling orders. It is ideal for transit packaging.

The BR900 Bander uses the LONGFORD B855 High Speed Batch Counter to create stacks of items of the desired count (stack height not exceeding 2.0"). These stacks are deposited onto the infeed of the banding conveyor. Each stack is jogged and conveyed to the sealing area, where a loose band of shrink film is wrapped around the stack. The stack then passes through a heat tunnel where a heated stream of air will tighten the band.
