Whether you are a small start-up looking for entry-level equipment, or a high-volume corporation operating at even higher production speeds,
we can be your single source supplier of high-end filling and marking solutions. We will work with you to conceive and design your customized machinery,
match your requirements and constraints, and deliver high-speed performance across an expansive range of packaging applications.
Complete Filler & Doser Solutions
Filler machines and dosers are designed to fill various containers with measured amounts of materials in the initial stages of the packaging process. These substances can be liquid, solid, finished, unfinished, food-related, industrial, or commercial. Harpak-ULMA’s advanced lines of automatic and semi-automatic doser and filler machines incorporate the most advanced pneumatic technology, laser-guided detection elements, and easy-to-use controls to ensure perfect product consistency, price value, and ideal production process possible. Our filling solutions include piston fillers, gravity fillers and pocket fillers.
Regardless of the substance, our flexible filler machine solutions have the capabilities to meet your production needs according to your timetable and specific requirements. Our automatic and semi-automatic filler and doser options integrate today’s most innovative technology – photocell tray detection, electromechanical and pneumatic cams to synchronize movement, variable speed feeding, and dosing belts – to ensure the right temperature and level control for your product. Our solutions prepare product for weight, price, and labeling, and shipping processes downstream and give you more accurate production data over time.
Precision Label Application Solutions
Labels have various uses in packaging, from identification and branding to traceability and regulatory compliance. Label application methods can affect multiple aspects of the packaging process, including line speed, output, and efficiency. Manual label application can be appropriate for low-volume, low-speed operations. However, modern automated labeling solutions significantly improve accuracy, reliability, and quality in high-speed, high-volume environments.
Labeling equipment is not solely designed to indicate freshness or provide product tracking data. It can also provide finishing-touch packaging for product identification, pricing, weight, indications of tampering, marketing, promotional purposes, and more. Harpak-ULMA provides automatic and semi-automatic labeling solutions for entry-level to high-speed packaging operations. Our complete, in-line flash labeling solutions integrate flawlessly with existing machines and networking and give you an accurate, versatile application system for pre-printed promotional labeling and accurate weight readouts.
Metal Detectors
Metal detectors help to improve your product’s uniformity and quality. If there are defects, inconsistencies, or foreign agents that have infiltrated your primary or secondary packaging, these machines will both detect and reject flawed product to ensure safety and consumer satisfaction. At Harpak-ULMA, our automatic, high-speed metal detector/rejection systems offer the trusted reliability and ease of use you need, contained within an all-in-one system.
Government agencies, such as The Department of Agriculture Weights and Measures, apply strict regulations and industry standards on product packaging in the U.S. As a packager or processor, compliance with these standards is paramount. Violating them could mean penalties, production interruptions, and loss of revenue for your business. Industrial metal detectors can alleviate these concerns and play a pivotal role in your quality assurance.
Harpak-ULMA offers highly sensitive detection machinery that combines both metal detection and rejection equipment, all in one versatile unit. Highly attuned to the products within your supply chain, our detection machinery enables you to identify product issues quickly, avoid contamination for your entire packaging and production process, and achieve optimal technical performance to build an essential, effective inspection program.
Benefits of Metal Detectors
Intelligent Detection: This unit has advanced features such as reject confirmation, bin-full and low-air detection to ensure pack rejection. Other features include simple on/off toggling for metal detector, reset of rejector, and reject confirmation check – all operated and protected by key lock.
Integrated Metal Detection Head: The metal detection head is fully integrated with the rejector, providing easy setup.
Push Arm Rejection: The push-arm type rejection offers a high-speed, accurate, reliable method to reject a wide range of packs.
Rejector Security: The rejector has an enclosed top guard with an interlocking and lockable bin. The high-level warning light system ensures any visual alarm is seen. An audible alarm is also present.
Stainless Steel Construction: The stainless-steel tubular frame construction ensures a high-quality, durable, strong structure.
Why Integrate Metal Detection/
Rejection Equipment into Your Packaging Line?
In both food and non-food packaging, preserving your company’s reputation is everything. One investment in metal detector/rejector technology prevents safety recalls that could be hazardous to your customers’ health and the health of your business. Metal detection and defective product rejection are now an integral part of any modern packaging line. The relatively inexpensive cost of this equipment can go a long way in establishing trust for your brand and save you more over time.
Weigh/Price/Label Machines
Data accuracy is more important than ever in packaging operations. Everyone, from sales and financial officers to supply chain and transport personnel, relies on proper weight, pricing, and labeling information for financial and operational concerns. Harpak-ULMA’s complete line of weigh/price/labeling solutions capture this essential data using high-speed, PC-integrated controls and systems, dynamic varying-speed automatic labeling equipment, and quick-release conveyors.
Automated Weigh Price Labeler (WPL) machines from Harpak-ULMA can transform your product packaging line. Integrating WPL machinery gives you unmatched labeling precision and accuracy at industry-leading speeds and ensures you can stay operational even in the harshest washdown environments. WPL equipment is best suited for all types of fresh and frozen produce, meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products, perfectly preparing them for retail markets.
Advantages of Weigh, Price, Label Machines
Speed: WPL machinery gives you speeds of up to 120 Packs Per Minute (ppm), depending on the label dimensions.
Reduced Costs: WPL equipment integrates flawlessly with your existing production machinery and networks, saving you more on purchases, labor, reprogramming, and repairs.
Packaging Flexibility: Precise, repeatable label positioning for products becomes automatic with fast changeover and easy printer position adjustments.
Versatility & Efficiency: WPL machines can run different products simultaneously on one centralized device.
What Makes Harpak-ULMA WPL Equipment Stand Out?
Our WPL machinery can be fully customized to meet your product and production requirements, offering optimal technical solutions for every production scale from low-speed, low-volume operations to high-speed, high-volume industrial output. Through these capabilities, Harpak-ULMA WPL equipment creates flexible label handling and offers increased production line efficiency.
Our PC-based WPL machines use embedded software on a Windows® operating system, allowing easy integration with existing packaging machines and networking. Dynamic, high-speed weighing and labeling components and quick release conveyor systems allow varying speed options up to 120ppm, and color touch screen options for fast, easy programming and Price Look Up (PLU) selection.
