Why this combination stands out in 2025

In today’s woodworking and furniture production industry, efficiency in 2025 is more crucial than ever. Businesses are aiming to produce more in less time without sacrificing finishing quality.

The Brandt KDF 650 C CNC edge banding machine combined with the Homag Loopteq Q300 panel return system is a proven winning formula for achieving just that.

While the KDF 650 C delivers precision, speed, and high-quality finishing, the Loopteq Q300 ensures that one operator can keep the production flow running without manual lifting or stacking.

Case Study – How a furniture manufacturer increased output by 35%

In 2024, a mid-sized interior manufacturing company in the Netherlands implemented this machine combination.

The results were striking:

35% higher production output within 3 months
20% reduction in labor costs thanks to improved ergonomics and efficiency
Minimal rework due to consistent, precise finishing

The operator particularly noted the synergy between automation and ergonomics:

“With the Loopteq Q300, I no longer need to lift or turn panels manually – everything is automatically returned to the feed side. This saves me literally hundreds of kilos of lifting per day.”
