ADM-i260
ADM-i400
The ADM-i Series Intermittent Motion Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines are the result of over 30 years of Australian packaging engineering, built to deliver precision sealing, flexibility, and durability for an extensive range of bag sizes and products. Manufactured in ADM’s Thomastown facility, every i Series model combines robust stainless-steel construction, accurate film control, and operator-friendly design to produce consistent, retail-ready packaging.
What makes the i Series different is intermittent motion sealing technology. Instead of sealing while the film moves, the i Series pauses the film for each cycle, allowing:
- Longer sealing dwell times for stronger, more reliable seals on all film types
- Enhanced seal integrity on heavy bags and challenging materials
- Greater versatility for multiple bag styles, including pillow, gusseted, block-bottom, and quad-seal
- Compatibility with laminated, recyclable mono-material, and compostable films
- Consistent performance on thick or multi-layer laminates
