Article Abstract:
An ingenious piece of machinery, the concentric rod cincher works better than opposing bars working as a pinch valve and avoids the need for an iris valve. With the application of vacuum suction at the end of the bag emptying, the traditional cloud of dust produced when bags are flattened manually can be avoided.
