What is a flow wrapper?

A flow wrapper is a horizontal form-fill-seal machine that creates a continuous bag around a product from a roll of film, sealing it longitudinally and with two end seals. It is commonly used for individual product packaging.

What kind of products can this machine handle?

The Ulma Florida is designed for a wide range of small to medium-sized products that can be fed continuously, such as bakery items, confectionery, and various non-food goods. It is best suited for solid, stable products.

Is this machine suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)?

While some flow wrappers can be adapted for MAP, the Ulma Florida, particularly an entry-level model, is typically configured for standard hermetic sealing rather than gas-flush MAP applications without specific modifications.

What maintenance is typically required for a used flow wrapper?

Regular maintenance for a used flow wrapper typically involves checking and replacing wear parts like belts, heaters, and knives, lubricating moving components, and ensuring all sensors and controls are functioning correctly. Access to service history, as mentioned for this unit, is beneficial.

What is the typical footprint of an Ulma Florida?

For this class of equipment, a typical Ulma Florida with a 2-metre infeed conveyor would require a floor space of approximately 3.5 to 4.5 metres in length and around 1.5 to 2 metres in width, including operational access.
