ULMA Packaging to unveil new hygienic machinery for meat processing
The company is going to present Flow Pack, tray sealers, and thermoformers designed for harsh washdown environments. These machines comply with global food safety requirements and are suited for high-humidity conditions.
SPAIN – ULMA Packaging is showcasing a range of its latest hygienic packaging systems at IFFA 2025, the global trade fair dedicated to meat and protein processing.
The company is demonstrating its Flow Pack machines along with tray sealers, thermoformers, and vertical baggers—all developed for use in food production environments that require thorough washdowns and resistance to corrosion.
ULMA’s focus at the event reflects the industry’s heightened attention to hygiene standards as meat processors face stricter regulatory requirements and pressure to maintain contamination-free facilities.
Each machine on display is equipped to handle the demands of high-humidity, aggressive cleaning conditions typical of meat and protein processing plants.
The packaging systems include models with IP-66 or higher-rated components, which protect internal electronics from water and dust infiltration during sanitation procedures.
Additionally, the equipment features smooth surface designs aimed at minimizing residue build-up and facilitating easier cleaning during daily operations.
These machines are constructed to tolerate high-pressure water sprays and the use of industrial-grade detergents without compromising function or longevity.
ULMA states that all featured systems meet global hygiene and food safety standards, ensuring compatibility with export-oriented and locally regulated production lines.
According to the company, the design approach is centered around reducing downtime during cleaning cycles and maintaining consistent operational output.
Beyond Flow Pack systems, ULMA is also displaying tray sealing units, thermoforming machines, and vertical form-fill-seal models tailored for various segments of the meat supply chain.
The company notes that it provides packaging options across five main systems—thermoforming, traysealing, horizontal and vertical flow packs, and stretch film—to support processors targeting either bulk distribution or retail-ready packaging.
Adapted for diverse processing needs
ULMA’s product line includes equipment for processors serving catering businesses, large distribution networks, and supermarkets.
Each system is engineered to match specific presentation styles and shelf-life requirements depending on the type of meat or protein being packaged.
The company emphasizes its goal of offering machines suitable for both harsh production settings and strict food safety compliance, without directly marketing performance advantages at the event.
