Bradman Lake is set to present its latest technological advancements at the PPMA Show 2024, held from 24-26 September at the NEC, Birmingham. Attendees are invited to visit stand C100 to witness the renowned FT120 Flow Wrapper in action, now featuring the latest integrated sealing module designed for horizontal sealing. This enhancement elevates the standards of sealing precision and enhances overall performance when working with both paper and eco-friendly recycled packaging films. Bradman Lake will also showcase the well-established SL903 End Load Cartoner, representing the culmination of over 75 years of packaging experience. This machine erects, loads products, and closes cartons within a single modular frame.
FT120 Flow Wrapper Features and Benefits:
Operates at the highest level of efficiency and seal integrity, even for challenging heat-seal applications.
New and improved ‘backward compatible’ flow wrap sealing technologies. Simple conversion parts or modular replacements enable the flow wrapper to run recyclable, biodegradable, paper, and single substrate mono materials.
Robust end crimp sealing module that provides hot or cold seal options.
Quick changeover takes less than 15 minutes and requires only a single operator, making it simple to operate and maintain, with the ability to accommodate a wide range of product sizes.
Soft Jaw Technology: Unique to Bradman Lake, this feature prevents misplaced products from jamming in the end seal jaws.
Reel to Reel Splicing: Automatic splicing is a standard feature on the system, with a manual splice available for stand-alone machines.
Automatic Web Tracking. Maintains position of wrapping material presentation from the reel, providing increased efficiency and productivity whilst keeping material width to a minimum.
Discharge Top Control: Ensures consistent transfer onto the discharge conveyor, maintaining regular product spacing when interfacing with downstream equipment.
No Gap No Crimp: If no gap is detected between products on the infeed, the end seal jaws do not engage, forming a long bag that is rejected on the machine infeed, avoiding production stops.
No Product No Bag: If no product is detected in the machine pitch, the end seal jaws wait for the next product, preventing the production of empty packs and allowing the machine to continue running.
High Speed. Machine versions capable of wrapping speeds up to 1200 packs per minute are available.
