IM Series Horizontal Form Fill Seal Poucher

The IM Series is a proven horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) platform designed to produce high‑quality flexible pouches from rollstock with efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation. Available in multiple configurations and index pitch models, the IM Series allows manufacturers to precisely align machine performance with production demands and market requirements.

The Bartelt IM Series pouchers are mechanically driven, intermittent‑motion hinged systems engineered for consistent performance and ease of use. Pre‑programmed recipe settings allow operators to execute repeatable, dependable product changeovers, reducing setup time and supporting efficient, reliable pouching operations.

The Standard IM configuration offers index pitches from 6 to 9 inches and operates at mechanical speeds of up to 120 cycles per minute, while the IM Focus configuration is purpose‑built for single‑serve applications, available in 7‑ and 9‑inch index pitches and running at speeds of up to 100 cycles per minute. Both configurations form flat and gusseted pouches and are optimized for consistent seal quality and efficient material usage.

Powered by a servo-driven main drive and an advanced web handling system, the IM Series delivers accurate film registration, reliable pouch control through forming, filling, and sealing, and reduced material waste, including the ability to run smaller side seals. With more than 4,000 machines installed worldwide, the IM platform is trusted for its durability, ease of operation, and long‑term flexibility, making it a proven and sustainable value solution for a wide range of packaging applications.

Evaluating equipment? Materials matter, too. Ask a CL&D representative about flexible packaging materials that align structure, seal, and speed with your new machine.
