Ulma Packaging Ltd has launched the latest version of its most successful inverted packing machine.

“The versatile PV350 has already proved a popular choice in both the UK and European marketplaces and now the upgraded version is sure to be an even greater success,” said md Derek Paterson. “It is the ideal choice for those who need to wrap irregular shaped or unstable products, and for anyone looking for an easy to operate, reliable and flexible machine.

“Made entirely from stainless steel, it is easy to clean and maintain. With the benefit of completely upgraded electronics, the PV350 offers increased efficiency and is now more operator friendly, even when used for the most arduous applications. The console allows for storage of up to 20 different product parameters and provides status information including adjustments, along with diagnostics - all at the touch of a button.”

There are four machine formats available - shrink, flow, round products and a combination machine. Depending on the product being packed and the type of film used, the PV350 is capable of packing up to 60 packs per minute, and with intermittent functioning, the machine is suited to packing fresh produce with or without MAP.

Paterson is well aware of the importance of keeping up with developing technology. He said: "We firmly believe that the best can get better. Technology is continually improving what machines are capable of, and we are aware that to continue with our current success, we need to keep up with these advances to ensure that our customers get the best."

He concluded: "We believe the PV350 is the best machine of its type on the market and this has been borne out by the fact that we have just had a record year for sales with the PV350."
