Paper packaging for fruit and vegetable with a mesh made of a non-plastic material that allows it to be recycled in the paper circuit. The mesh allows visualising the content of the pack while allowing it to breathe.
Most ULMA machines can be adapted to use paper instead of plastic, achieving an optimal packaging appearance without compromising the main function of packaging, preserve food in good and safe conditions minimising food waste.
The poultry sector is seeing an increase in the demand for more sustainable packaging and safer products, which is currently the norm in all sectors; this is specifically what Tight-Chicken™ offers, ULMA Packaging’s latest innovative development, which ensures that chickens arrive at stores perfectly packaged.

The complete solution for frozen chicken cut-ups packaging in vertical machine (vffs). The system is based in two packaging lines with the automatic end of the line to carton boxes and palletising.
PRODUCT DOSING SYSTEM AND VERTICAL BAGGING (VFFS)
The product is received at the exit of the freezing tunnel (2 freezing tunnels) and transported by belts to the dosing system and two multi-head weighers supply automatically the product in the required doses for each package format.
The two VTC 840 vertical high-performance packaging machines (vffs) bag the frozen chicken cut-ups at a rate of up to 70 bags/minute. The VTC 840 features several innovations and advanced technology solutions.
INSPECTION SYSTEMS
Inspection systems are based on weighing control and detection of metallic contaminants.
CASE ERECTORS AND PACKERS
The installation has two lines made up of box formers, drop-down cell that fills the boxes with the chicken cut-ups bags and automatic box sealer by means of adhesive tape.
AUTOMATIC PALLETISING
Finally, the anthropomorphic robot is responsible for palletising the boxes on pallets that are wrapped with shrink film and are ready for shipment.

The complete automation solution for the packaging plant includes eight packaging lines for different meat products. Industrial cuts, vacuum packed with Flow-Vac® technology and other case ready products for retail such as portioned meat, minced meat and filleted in different vacuum and MAP packages with thermoforming technology. It is a plant in which the packaging machines have been integrated with previous meat preparation systems, case erectors, plastic crate washing, box distribution and logistics, weighing & labelling equipment, quality control and automatic boxing.
FLOW-VAC® PACKAGING LINES
Three packaging lines for industrial cuts of meat that, after labeling, are vacuum packed using the ULMA Flow-Vac® system. The system produces in real time the bag adjusted to the length of each piece and introduces it automatically, thus reducing the consumption of the packaging material, the risk of contamination by handling and the number of leaks and reprocesses.
These lines are complemented with vacuum chambers for closing and sealing the bag to later improve the presentation by passing through retraction ovens that give the package second skin appearance.
THERMOFORMING PACKAGING LINES
Five thermoforming packaging lines adapted to the different pieces of meat to package both under vacuum and in a modified atmosphere. In these five lines, whole pieces of fresh meat are vacuum packed, fillets and minced meat in rigid packages in a modified atmosphere (MAP).
The lines are complemented by integrated preparation equipment, cutting machines and even automatic loading equipment as well as automatic weighing & labelling equipment and metal detectors.
AUTOMATIC CARTON CASE ERECTORS, DISTRIBUTION AND CASE PACKING
There is a carton case forming room with three automatic forming machines that are located on the upper floor. These case erectors are multi-format and distribute the boxes through a transport system to the end of lines situated on the lower floor.
The automatic end of lines has a robot based case packers that allow handling 96 boxes/min per line. These equipment have great flexibility allowing to make different mosaics depending on the products. In addition and prior to packing, a batch collector is made at the exit of the machine, to improve the traceability of the products in the production process.
WASHING, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLASTIC CRATES
Transport system to collect the customer’ s slave boxes from production lines and transfer it to the washing machine. For this purpose, there is a lift system to elevate the crates to the upper floor where the washing area is located.
At the exit of the washing machine and depending on the needs of the production lines; clean crates are transported back to production lines using crate lowerators, or they are accumulated in a buffer with an automatic stacker that stacks piles of empty crates. These piles are accumulated for later consumption on the production lines when necessary.

Mettler Toledo’s solutions are designed to make it easier to detect smaller contaminants, reduce product waste, minimise false rejects, maximise uptime and meet compliance needs.
Whatever your product format and material handling method at the designated critical control point – loose or bulk, pumped, fresh, frozen, or packed – Mettler Toledo has a product inspection solution to meet your needs.
Wet products such as meat can be challenging for traditional metal detection technology. Our patented Profile Advantage system overcomes “product effect” to detect smaller irregular shaped contaminants, delivering enhanced brand protection. By virtually eliminating false rejects, operator efficiency is improved.
Manually checking for missing products, damaged packaging, or under- and over-weight products can be a time consuming process.
Quality checks can be automated using X-ray inspection, checkweighing, or vision inspection technology to enhance production line efficiency.
Overfilling results in unnecessary product giveaway and leads to increased costs. Using a dynamic checkweighing system ensures each and every product is inspected to guard against under- or over-weight products and comply with weights and measures legislation.

Food safety is more important than ever. Mass communication and social media spread the news of incidents and recall at lightning speed. Consumers are becoming more educated and more concerned the more they read and hear about food matters. They are often following the trail of the food that will reach their table back to the farm.
The closer you get to the farm, the closer you get too many foreign objects. Most raw foods and ingredients originate in a natural environment – a field, an orchard, a farm, etc. As the food is harvested, foreign objects such as stones or glass can end up co-mingled and transported into the processing plant.
Mettler Toledo equipment provides outstanding physical contamination detection and quality control in bulk-flow (loose) food products prior to packaging.
