Ulma Packaging launches new kit for fresh produce

From: Packaging News

Ulma Packaging has invested in new ultrasonic vertical sealing equipment to boost productivity and reduce waste in the fresh produce sector.

The packaging machinery and automated lines supplier is targeting the fresh produce sector with the VTI 600 and VTC 800 ultrasonic Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines, developed to provide customers with continuous packing at high production speeds.
According to WRAP, in the UK, over two million tonnes of fresh produce are lost or wasted each year in the supply chain alone.

Some of this waste can be incurred at the packaging stage due to protruding leaves or stalks compromising the seal integrity during packing.

Ulma’s VTI 600 and VTC 800 packaging technology is designed for handling fresh produce such as kale leaf, cabbage leaf, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, carrots, florets and salads – VFFS ultrasonic sealing equipment helps in the fight against food waste by detecting protruding items and moving them out of the way before sealing the bag.
Both the VTI 600 and VTC 800 offer a range of wrapping options to form pillow, flat and re-closable packs.

Steve Brooks, Ulma VFFS business manager, said: “This new ultrasonic vertical sealing equipment is ideally suited for the fresh produce industry, offering less downtime and reduced food waste due to the 100% seal integrity. Our machines are manufactured to the highest quality and we will work with customers to ensure they have the perfect solution.”
