India, Oct. 26 -- A bagger rated at 220 bags a minute doesn't make money at 220 bags a minute. It makes money on the bags that leave the line sealed, on-weight and saleable, and loses it on every seal reject, every restart, every long changeover and every hour spent waiting for an engineer.
Do the arithmetic. A line running 120 bags a minute across two shifts packs about 1.15 lakh bags a day. At 1.5% rejects and restart scrap, that is roughly 1,700 bags a day, or over 5 lakh bags a year paid for in film, product and labour and never sold.
VAYU is Innomation's answer: a fully servo-controlled, continuous-motion VFFS platform that holds film registration to 0.5 mm at speed, changes format in about 15 minutes without tools, and tells operators why it stopped and what to do next. One core machine takes four dosing systems, from potato chips and namkeen to spices, powders, liquids and pastes.

WHY VAYU
Four ways VAYU protects the cost of every good bag
Built for manufacturers who judge a packaging machine over the life of the line, not on the day it is bought.
01 SAVINGS
Less film, product and time lost between good bags
Tool-less forming set and operator adjustments: format changes in about 15 minutes.
Automatic web tracking, closed-loop tension control and controlled sealing cut film loss, restart scrap and rejects.
Optional auto-splicer removes the planned stop at every roll change.
One architecture across all VAYU models: one set of operator skills, spares and maintenance practices.
02 PERFORMANCE
Consistent bags at full speed
Fully servo-controlled continuous-motion film transport and sealing: up to 220 bags/min and 60 m/min.
High-speed print-mark registration holds film position within 0.5 mm at production speed.
Box-motion servo cross-seal jaws give repeatable seals across the operating range.
Built-in product-in-seal detection catches bad bags online.
03 SERVICE
Faster recovery, less dependence on specialists
Guided troubleshooting, alarm history and OEE/downtime screens show why the line stopped and what to do next, without PLC access.
Secure remote diagnostics: IEQ engineers see the same data and help fix faults without waiting for a site visit.
247 remote support, backed by in-house design, manufacturing and field engineering.
Compact 1.52 m footprint (2,240 680 mm) with single-side operator and service access, simplifying installation within existing production facilities
04 COMPLIANCE
Ready for your market and your film
Product-contact parts in SS316L with defined surface finish.
Runs conventional laminates and recyclable mono-PE: trial sustainable packs without changing the bagger.
