Ulma Nevada

• Packaging delicate or irregularly shaped products that cannot be pushed by traditional lug chains.
• Wrapping products that require hermetic seals for extended shelf life.
• Creating individual or multi-pack presentations for retail display.
• Automating the packaging process for confectionery, bakery, and non-food items.
• Handling products that are prone to damage or deformation when conveyed upright.

Typical capacity

For this class of inverted flow wrapper, throughput commonly ranges from 50 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.

Film types

Commonly handles a range of heat-sealable films, including plain and pre-printed laminates, polypropylene, and barrier films.

Product dimensions

Designed to accommodate a variety of product lengths, widths, and heights, with specific ranges depending on the machine's configuration. Buyers should verify with the seller.

Sealing system

Typically features a rotary sealing jaw system for efficient and consistent seals, often with independent temperature control.

Footprint

An Ulma Nevada inverted flow wrapper typically requires a floor space of approximately 3 to 5 metres in length and 1.5 to 2 metres in width, plus space for infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Control system

Units commonly feature a PLC-based control system with a HMI for parameter adjustment and fault diagnosis.

• What does 'inverted flow wrapper' mean?

  An inverted flow wrapper feeds film from below the product, wrapping it upwards. This is ideal for delicate, unstable, or irregularly shaped products that cannot be easily pushed along a conveyor.

• Is 'Printed Film Registration' a standard feature?

• What kind of products is the Ulma Nevada best suited for?

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

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

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.
