Pack Adjuster is ULMA Packaging’s on-machine operator-support tool for Flow Pack lines, designed to cut down adjustments during start-up and while running. By reducing fine-tuning and avoiding unnecessary stops, it increases line productivity and helps minimize waste. At the same time, it supports better material usage by keeping packaging settings more stable and consistent throughout production.
In many packaging lines, small deviations in the production process, product displacement or film misalignment generate rejects, loss of productivity and inefficient use of material. Pack Adjuster solves this challenge by allowing adjustments to be made while the machine is running, providing immediate visualisation of the result and avoiding complex manual interventions.
What Pack Adjuster does and why it matters
The assistant allows easy and intuitive regulation of:
- The position of the product inside the package
- The position of the printed film
- The position of the marking (when the machine includes a printer)
- The location of the label (when the line integrates a labeller)
These functions, traditionally reserved for trained and experienced operators, can now be performed through a very simple interface that reduces the risk of error and facilitates operation even in environments with high product variability.
Direct impact on productivity and sustainability
Pack Adjuster offers measurable benefits in high-demand lines:
- Time savings thanks to fast adjustments without stopping production
- Increased productivity by minimising rejects and eliminating micro-stops
- Reduced waste by enabling precise adjustment
- Lower dependence on expert operators
A development aligned with ULMA’s value proposition
Pack Adjuster reflects ULMA Packaging’s commitment to solutions that combine advanced technology, simple operation and greater profitability for the customer. Its integration into the HMI UPC 4.0 allows it to be incorporated into both new lines and existing installations.
