High-speed Map packaging for fresh food products
Ensure product freshness and safety with robust, high-speed packaging that delivers hermetic seals in a modified atmosphere, crucial for maintaining quality and extending shelf life in demanding food production environments.

Wraps and Seals Food Products Airtight
The FM 500 Flow Pack Wrapper from ULMA Packaging specializes in creating hermetically sealed packages for diverse food products like sliced ham, cheddar cheese blocks, and ready meals. Equipped with an LD cross sealing head, the FM 500 ensures airtight seals at high speeds, with capabilities reaching up to 250 products per minute. This horizontal flow wrapper excels in applications requiring Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), crucial for maintaining product freshness in the meat, cheese, and baked goods industries.
The FM 500 operates through an electronically synchronized system featuring independent servomotors, enhancing precision in packaging processes. Its stainless steel frame and open frame infeed system allow for easy cleaning, essential in hygiene-sensitive environments. Integrated with a 10″ HMI touchscreen, the machine facilitates user interaction and seamless integration into automated production lines via Ethernet connectivity for data acquisition and control.
Available configurations include top and bottom reel versions and compatibility with various films, such as laminated barrier and shrink films. Optional features like the inline residual oxygen analyzer and automatic reel change system further boost operational efficiency. Constructed for robustness and reliability, the FM 500 meets the rigorous standards of continuous, high-speed operations demanded by food packaging companies.
