ULMA FV-35 HFFS

• Packaging fresh meat, poultry, and fish for retail display and extended shelf life.
• Vacuum packaging cheeses and other dairy products to prevent spoilage and maintain quality.
• Sealing prepared meals and ready-to-eat products in a protective atmosphere.
• Packaging certain medical devices or industrial components requiring a hermetic seal.

Typical throughput

Up to 40 packs per minute, depending on product size and film characteristics.

Film type

Designed for CRYOVAC® barrier roll stock, commonly bottom-fed.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel, suitable for food processing environments.

Seal type

Produces a narrow, hermetic longitudinal seal and reliable transverse end seals.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply; specific voltage will vary.

Footprint

For this class of entry-level HFFS, a moderate footprint is typical, requiring adequate space for film loading and product outfeed.

• What is the primary benefit of a bottom-reel film feed system?

  A bottom-reel film feed helps maintain a clean seal area as the product does not contact the film prior to sealing, which can improve seal integrity and reduce material waste.

• Can this machine handle various product sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Is this system suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)?

• What are the typical film requirements for this machine?

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.
