Ulma - Atlanta High Speed Horizontal Wrapper

• Packaging individual food items such as bakery products, confectionery, and fresh produce.
• Wrapping non-food items like small consumer goods, pharmaceutical products, and industrial components.
• Creating hermetically sealed packages for extended shelf life and product protection.
• High-volume packaging operations requiring rapid throughput and consistent pack quality.

Typical capacity

For high-speed horizontal wrappers of this class, throughput can typically range from 100 to over 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units commonly found in the UK market typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V, 50Hz.

Film materials

This type of wrapper is typically compatible with various heat-sealable films, including BOPP, laminates, and some barrier films.

Sealing mechanism

The 'twin jaw' description indicates a high-speed transverse sealing system, typically offering robust and consistent seals.

Integration with coding

The inclusion of a 'Domino coder' suggests integrated date, batch, or other variable data printing capabilities, common for traceability requirements.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a high-speed horizontal wrapper can vary significantly but typically requires a substantial linear space for the infeed, wrapping section, and outfeed.

• What does 'horizontal wrapper' mean?

  A horizontal wrapper, also known as a flow wrapper, forms a continuous tube of film around a product as it moves horizontally through the machine, then seals and cuts it into individual packages.

• What is the benefit of a 'twin jaw' system?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Is the Domino coder integrated or a separate unit?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
