Ulma PV-350 SPH – 1X

• Packaging of delicate or irregularly shaped products that require support from below during the wrapping process.
• Wrapping of bakery items, confectionery, and fresh produce.
• Packaging of non-food items such as personal care products, small hardware, and medical devices.
• Suitable for products that need to remain upright or are prone to shifting during conventional flow wrapping.
• Ideal for multi-pack applications where items are grouped before wrapping.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, output commonly ranges from 40 to 100 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Film compatibility

Units of this type typically handle clear or unprinted film. This specific unit is noted as not running with printed film.

Product dimensions

Inverted flow wrappers commonly accommodate a wide range of product lengths, widths, and heights, which are adjustable via machine settings.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption depending on model and features.

Machine footprint

For this category, the footprint can vary significantly, but buyers should anticipate needing several square metres of floor space for the wrapper and associated conveyors.

Film material

Commonly uses heat-sealable films such as polypropylene (BOPP), laminates, and co-extruded films.

• What is an 'inverted flow wrapper'?

  An inverted flow wrapper feeds film from below the product, creating a seal on the top of the pack. This is beneficial for delicate or unstable products that require support during wrapping.

• Why would a unit not run with printed film?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used flow wrapper?

• Can this machine be integrated with other packaging equipment?

• What is the typical lifespan of a well-maintained used flow wrapper?

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.
