Bradman Lake’s automatic packaging system at PACK EXPO International 2016 includes the following machinery:

• The latest design of the Flowtronic FT120 Flow Wrapper with Inline Phase Feeder. The FT120 is a horizontal form/fill/seal flow wrapping machine and the ILPF infeed system forms a queue of product and phases individual product into the infeed flights of the FT120 flow wrapper. It also controls the speed of the machines by monitoring the level of product presented to the wrapping leg.

• The latest version of the VGR2000 Vision Guided Robotic Pick and Place loading system can be integrated with many packaging lines and load products into other Bradman Lake equipment such as wrappers, top load and end load cartoners and case packers.

• 2/60 Single Head Lock Carton Former with compact layout design for limited space availability.

• RA60 Three Flap Carton Closer, also with compact layout design for limited space availability.

While the FT120 Flow Wrapper and the VGR2000 Vision Guided Robotic Top Load System will demonstrate Bradman Lake capabilities for developing new packaging machinery technology, the 2/60 Single Head Carton Former and the RA60 Carton Closer will demonstrate its machine reconditioning program and the ability to take machines that were built many years ago and upgrade them to meet current mechanical, electrical and safety specifications.
