Thermoforming food packaging system produces high quality display packs of cooked and uncooked products at medium production levels and has optional vacuum and gas flushing systems.

The TF Supra Skin thermoformer from Ulma Packaging is proving to be of great interest to exhibition visitors across Europe this year Taking a prominent position on the Ulma stand at shows throughout Europe in recent months, the TF Supra Skin is ideal for producing high quality display packs of cooked and uncooked meats, fish and cheese

It is suitable for medium production levels and benefits from a highly efficient infrared top web heating system, making it quicker to start from cold resulting in energy efficiency and reduced costs.

As Ulma's UK director, Derek Paterson, said: "There has been incredible interest in the TF Supra Skin because people can see, for the first time, a real alternative for this type of packaging machine - a sensibly-priced option that performs well and which can run equally well with a number of varied film types.

We can also give companies objective advice about the possibility of other film grades as we continually test and validate the films that are available." He added that the TF Supra Skin produces attractive packaging with the product held firmly on a rigid base, with the tight seal avoiding risk of product slippage.

Because the top mould web of film is moulded to the product like a second skin, retailers can display packs upright so consumers can clearly see what they are buying.

And the packs are also easily opened by consumers - another significant advantage.

Paterson also emphasised that stand visitors have been attracted by the TF Supra Skin's small footprint and quality engineered construction in stainless steel and corrosion resistant materials for easy maintenance and cleaning.

He added: "This machine has been proven over 18 months since its initial introduction by Ulma in Spain.

That gives us a distinct advantage in the UK market as skin packs are set to really develop here." * About Ulma - established in 1956 in Onati, Northern Spain, Ulma Packaging has grown into a group, with subsidiaries in 14 countries throughout the world.
