Bradman Lake, a provider of advanced packaging machinery and automation, is gearing up for a standout presence at Interpack 2026, the world’s premier processing and packaging exhibition. From 7 to 13 May 2026, visitors are invited to Hall 5, Stand C22 to experience a powerful lineup of smart, efficient and sustainability‑focused packaging solutions – from flow wrapping to fully automated cartoning and end‑of‑line case packing.
Global Launch: The New FT‑iFLEX Flow Wrapper
Taking centre stage at Interpack 2026 is the FT‑iFLEX Flow Wrapper, Bradman Lake’s newest innovation designed for today’s demanding manufacturing environments. Engineered for precision, agility and uptime, the FT‑iFLEX brings a new level of control and flexibility to flow wrapping.
It retains the advantages of our modular approach and features backward‑compatible modules, including a range of end‑seal units that can be adapted to run packaging materials required for specific application.
Powered by Rockwell Automation’s small‑frame iTRAK® intelligent track technology, the FT‑iFLEX positions the product at the infeed with zero-pressure and offers independent product movement, along with a variable‑pitch infeed that automatically adapts to product length without mechanical adjustments.
Due to removal of the pitch restriction found on conventional flow wrappers, the required pitch can be automatically matched to the material length enabling perfect transition between the infeed and the wrapping material, which ensures accurate product placement time after time.
The result:
- Consistent, high‑quality seals and accurate product placement in the wrap
- Superior registration accuracy
- Immediate responsiveness to upstream fluctuations
- Minimal changeover / parts
- High‑mix production with minimal downtime
- Low wear and low maintenance
Ideal for food, medical, pharmaceutical, and multipack operations, the FT‑iFLEX is designed to keep production lines running smarter and more efficiently than ever with push‑button automatic size change.
Its modular, open‑frame design ensures clear access beneath the product line, minimising product debris and supporting stringent hygiene requirements.
Interpack 2026 is the ideal opportunity to discover how Bradman Lake Group’s fully integrated packaging systems and automation drive productivity, adaptability and long‑term operational value.
