Blister packaging machine integrates operations
A leading packaging specialist is targeting the non-food sector with its latest blister packaging machine that integrates all operations necessary into one automatic line.
'' With many years experience in packaging Staplehurst's knowledge of the business is second to none.
He says: ''Ulma are keen to build on its great success in the continental and UK markets - and on the excellent reputation it has already earned in the UK.
"Supermarket buyers demand fish which is well presented, and with an increased shelf life through use of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) -with the range of machines we have we can offer the best of both worlds." Staplehurst added: "We also feel we are mounting this campaign at exactly the right time because of the growing emphasis on healthy eating which has generally increased the demand for fish.'' Ulma has thermoform and tray lid sealing equipment to suit most packaging needs, and all machines are well built and competitively priced.
They are robust and reliable and suitable for all working environments.
They are also capable of using a wide range of sealing materials, including those for cook-in-bag and microwaving, allowing producers to extend the range of products they can offer.
The versatile range starts with the 2.7 metre Baby and works upwards through the Plus and the much-respected Optima, up to the full sized TF2000 - ideal for large scale production.
The whole range is manufactured in stainless steel and its corrosion resistant design allows easy cleaning and maintenance.
Both vacuum and MAP versions are available.
Also on offer is the TF Optima Skin - a machine which allows high quality presentation by vacuuming product on to a backing card, typically popular with high value and delicatessen products.
The top-selling Optima, which benefits from a host of advanced features, is perhaps the machine which will be of most interest for fish packing.
Its modular concept enables it to be adapted to meet specific requirements depending on the product to be packed and the type of material being used.
It is also the ideal choice for applications which require larger dimensions in film advance, film width and package depth.
