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 Bradman Lake
Global Launch: The New FT‑iFLEX Flow Wrapper
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.
HS Mini Tray Former Feeding the FT-iFLEX
Enhancing the front end of the flow wrapping line is the HS Mini Tray Former, delivering high performance in an impressively compact footprint – perfect for manufacturers with tight floor layouts.
Despite its small size, the HS Mini delivers big benefits, including:
- Replaces need for plastic trays
- Up to 60 trays per minute
- Fast, repeatable changeovers
- Allen‑Bradley controls
- With modular tooling, it can handle a wide range of carton and tray formats
At Interpack, the HS Mini will be configured for lock‑erect trays to transport the product to the FT‑iFLEX for a seamless wrapping demonstration.
Intelligent Motion Loader linked with SL903 End Load Cartoner
Following wrapping, products transition effortlessly into the cartoning system via Bradman Lake’s advanced Intelligent Motion Loader (IML), powered by a medium size iTRAK®.
The IML:
- Accepts randomly fed products
- Automatically synchronises and collates them
- Delivers precise, continuous loading into the cartoner’s infeed
- Minimal or no change parts
- Low wear and low maintenance
Featuring independently controlled movers, electromagnet‑driven motion and advanced tracking technology, the IML ensures smooth, accurate and reliable product handling – even at high speeds.
Industry-Trusted End-Load Cartoning with the SL903
Completing the integrated demonstration line is the renowned SL903 fully automatic end‑load cartoner – a favourite among global food and consumer goods manufacturers.
Known for its durability and versatility, the SL903 handles a wide range of carton board materials, including lower‑grade and fully recyclable options, supporting today’s sustainability goals. Fast changeovers and easy machine access keep productivity high and operations simple for busy production teams.
WR5 Robotic Wraparound Case Packer
In addition to the flow wrapping and cartoning line, Bradman Lake will feature one of the many versions of the WR5 Robotic Wraparound Case Packer. The WR5 combines single (SRT), double (DRT) and triple (TRT) Race Track Systems for high‑speed robotic collation, all powered by Rockwell Automation control, with efficient wraparound case packing.
For maximum flexibility, the WR5 Robotic Wraparound Case Packer can handle several formats –
including single, double and triple‑facing packs. Quick size changeover is achieved with minimal change parts.
Sustainability in Action
The HS Mini Tray Former, FT-iFLEX Flow Wrapper and SL903 End Load Cartoner will be running sustainable recyclable packaging materials, underscoring Bradman Lake’s commitment to environmentally responsible solutions without compromising performance.
