Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Universa 500 and what is it used for?
The Universa 500 is an automatic intermittent side sealer used to wrap products in center-folded shrink film. It is designed to create neat, secure full-wrap packages and is commonly used by manufacturers and contract packagers who want consistent seal quality without running a high-speed continuous system.
How does the Universa 500 intermittent side sealer work?
The Universa 500 works using a stop-and-seal process. Each product moves into position, the film is sealed, and then the conveyor advances to the next cycle. This controlled motion allows the machine to produce accurate, reliable seals and makes it easier to handle products that vary in size or shape.
What types of products can be packaged on the Universa 500?
The Universa 500 is well suited for packaging a wide range of products, including printed materials, food and bakery items, consumer goods, industrial parts, and contract-packaged products. It is a good choice whenever a clean, professional shrink-wrapped appearance is important.
Is the Universa 500 easy to operate?
Yes, the Universa 500 is designed with everyday operators in mind. Its touchscreen control panel is simple to use, and features like smooth film tracking and easy film threading help reduce setup time and make daily operation more straightforward for production teams.
What kind of shrink film can be used with the Universa 500?
The Universa 500 is compatible with center-folded shrink films such as polyolefin and polyethylene. This flexibility allows users to select the film type and thickness that best matches their product protection needs, presentation goals, and packaging budget.
How fast can the Universa 500 run?
The Universa 500 is built for medium-speed packaging applications. Actual output depends on product size and film type, but the machine is designed to maintain consistent seal quality while delivering reliable throughput for day-to-day production.
Why choose an intermittent side sealer instead of a continuous sealer?
Intermittent side sealers like the Universa 500 offer greater control over the sealing process. They are especially helpful when packaging products of different sizes or running shorter production batches, as they provide precise seals, reduce film waste, and allow for more flexibility than continuous systems.
Can the Universa 500 be integrated into an existing packaging line?
Yes, the Universa 500 is designed to fit easily into existing packaging lines. Its compact footprint and adaptable infeed make it simple to connect with conveyors, shrink tunnels, and other downstream equipment without major changes to your current setup.
What kind of maintenance does the Universa 500 require?
Routine maintenance for the Universa 500 is straightforward and includes cleaning sealing components, checking wear parts, and following regular service recommendations. Keeping up with basic maintenance helps ensure consistent performance, less downtime, and a longer machine lifespan.
Who is the Universa 500 best suited for?
The Universa 500 is a great fit for manufacturers, distributors, and contract packagers who need dependable shrink packaging, consistent seal quality, and the flexibility to handle multiple product sizes without investing in a high-speed continuous sealing system.
