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 throughput

Units of this class commonly offer speeds ranging from 80 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on configuration.

Film materials

Capable of handling a variety of heat-sealable films, including BOPP, laminated films, and some barrier films.

Product dimensions

Designed for wrapping products within a specific range of lengths, widths, and heights, which are adjustable for each unit.

Sealing type

Units with 'twin jaw' configurations are designed for high-speed transverse sealing, often providing stronger seals.

Integration with coders

Often integrated with coding systems, such as the mentioned Domino coders, for printing dates, batch numbers, or other information directly onto the film.

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.
