Ulma - Atlanta High Speed Horizontal Wrapper

• Wrapping individual food items such as confectionery bars, bakery products, and snack packs.
• Packaging non-food items like small consumer goods, medical devices, or stationery.
• Creating hermetically sealed packages for extended shelf life of perishable goods.
• High-speed primary packaging in automated production lines.

Typical throughput

High-speed horizontal wrappers of this class commonly achieve speeds of 100 to 600 packs per minute, depending on product size and film material.

Power supply

Units typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on model and features.

Film materials

Suitable for various heat-sealable films, including BOPP, laminates, and co-extruded films, typically ranging from 20 to 60 microns in thickness.

Product dimensions

Horizontal wrappers are designed for products with a stable base, typically accommodating lengths from 50mm to 300mm, widths from 20mm to 150mm, and heights up to 80mm.

Sealing type

This unit features twin jaws, indicating a robust cross-seal mechanism, often combined with fin seals along the length of the pack.

Integrated coding

The inclusion of a Domino coder suggests on-line printing capabilities for batch codes, dates, or other variable data.

• What is a horizontal wrapper?

  A horizontal wrapper, also known as a flow wrapper or HFFS (Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal) machine, forms a continuous tube of film around a product, seals it longitudinally, and then cross-seals and cuts individual packages.

• What does 'twin jaw' mean for a wrapper?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Is this machine suitable for food products?

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.
