Ulma Packaging has added to its range of flowrapping equipment, with the launch of the FM200.
The new equipment from the supplier of packaging machinery and automated lines is for wrapping fresh food pillow pack style with three seals in a modified atmosphere (MAP). Ulma said the FM200 horizontal flowrapper is designed with improved functionality and ease of use for sealing poultry, fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy and fish.
The company added that the FM200’s construction is compact and convenient, is designed with smaller businesses in mind and is affordable.
Dave Berriman, technical manager, explained that the FM200 model is ideal for SMEs: “The FM200 is ideal for the small to medium sized factory. It’s very flexible and can be used for a huge variety of food products to extend their shelf life. Anything from meat, dairy, fish to convenience food – the FM200 can be used on hamburgers or hotdogs.”
Its stainless steel frame is said to reduce the accumulation of impurities allowing optimum cleaning and hygiene, while its touch screen control panel enables easier operation with various parameter settings for each product. ‘No product No Bag’ and ‘Misplaced product safety’ functions are standard with the machine.
Ulma said the FM200 is the result of its commitment to innovation and technological development, which has given rise to a new family of machines, providing improved performance and ease of use, such as the Artic Quad cook-in-the-bag wrapping technology; which allows consumers to put a chicken in the oven without ever handling the raw poultry.
