Vacuumatic Super 30 Pin & Blade Counts the new Polymer Fiver

With the launch of the new polymer five pound note this month, Vacuumatic are pleased to announce their involvement in the production process of this innovative new bank note.

Vacuumatic has been involved from the start working with the printers of the polymer bank notes, who are De La Rue, based at the Bank of England site in Loughton in Essex. When De la Rue undertook the initial trials on the new polymer five pound notes, Vacuumatic proved they could count this new material reliably and accurately on the Vacuumatic Super 30 Pin & Blade Twin head counter.

Vacuumatic’s machines were used in the production process verifying the stacks of notes in large sheet format, counting 2 corners at a time as a security check before they were cut down to the finished size, as shown on the video.

The Colchester company has been involved with Polymer Bank Notes since their introduction in the 90’s in Australia, and have supplied bank note counting machines to Innovia the substrate manufacturer and to other bank note printers who’ve been producing polymer bank notes for many years.
