Frozen chicken cut-ups packaging solution
Maximize your poultry packaging efficiency with a solution that seamlessly integrates freezing, weighing, and sealing processes to deliver high-speed, continuous packaging of frozen chicken cut-ups.
The VTC 840 from ULMA Packaging is a vertical form fill seal machine designed for high-performance frozen chicken packaging. This equipment excels by utilizing a dual packaging line, seamlessly integrating with freezing tunnels and multi-head weighers to ensure precise dosing and optimal bagging. Applications include packaging frozen chicken cut-ups, nuggets, and wings, catering to poultry processing facilities. With a throughput of up to 70 bags per minute, the system maintains efficiency through features like the Tight-bag™ system for controlled air levels and Sealflex™ technology for reliable transverse sealing. Equipped with automatic reel change capabilities, the VTC 840 enhances production continuity. The system includes inspection for weight and metal detection, bolstered by case erectors, box packers, and an anthropomorphic robot for automated palletizing. Constructed for robustness and ease of maintenance, it offers integration into continuous, high-speed operations, essential for modern frozen food manufacturers.
