ProductWatch: Infinity Automated Solutions’ IBP-120

Infinity Automated Solutions has introduced the IBP-120, a servo-controlled secondary packaging machine designed for bundling pouches weighing 50 g to 500 g. The system targets food, FMCG, home-care and nutraceutical manufacturers currently relying on labour-heavy manual bundling.

According to Vilas Shinde, digital marketing head, Infinity Automated Solutions, the IBP-120 addresses the biggest gap in the market: “Most manufacturers depend on 6–8 workers to manually pack 10 to 500 gm pouches into 1 kg or 2 kg bundles. This leads to inconsistent alignment, uneven bundle weight and poor appearance. The IBP-120 removes these inefficiencies by matching the output of primary packing machines and delivering uniform, shelf-ready bundles.”

At the core of the system is Racetrack technology, which uses servo-driven movement, guided clips, and continuous pouch sensing to ensure accurate pouch counting and stable alignment. This reduces cycle overlap, miscounts, and pack rejection.

For wrapping, the IBP-120 uses an inverted flow-wrap mechanism, enabling tighter bundle formation, cleaner seals and optimal film usage. Guided film entry minimises air pockets and supports precise cutting, improving overall pack quality.

The machine offers throughput of up to 16 secondary packs per minute, maintaining consistent output across light and heavy pouches due to its controlled collation path.

A key efficiency feature is “no product, no pouch”, which links pouch detection to film feed. If a pouch is missing from the infeed, the system automatically stops film dispensing for that cycle. This prevents empty bundles and typically delivers 3–7% film savings, depending on product-flow stability.

Integration with existing VFFS and HFFS lines is designed to be straightforward, with sensor-based syncing, compatible infeed height and servo-driven acceptance handling speed fluctuations without manual tuning.
