Universa 800 Servo
Fully-automatic high-performance side sealer with traveling cross sealing system
Universa 800 Servo
Universa 800 Servo
The Universa 800 SERVO as a “Hybrid” is closing the gap between cycling and continuous motion machines available in the market place today. For the first time, this machine combines advantages from both machine classes into 1 unit, such as full width film transport with vacuum belt for totally square and even bags. Perfect packaging for even the highest requirements is guaranteed. High quality retail packaging for chocolate, software boxes, DVD’s, CD’s, books, magazines and other high quality retail products.
The continuous motion cross seal and the precise motion control concept with SIEMENS® SIMOTION® as well as Servos for all product related drives allow random packaging with continuous product flow. The soft product movement during the wrapping process minimizes the slip of stacked products and complicated collations. The “800 Servo” uses the same simple product infeed as our highly successful Universa 700. It can easily be integrated in existing production lines. Products with random spacing and different lengths can be wrapped. Format change over, using hand wheels is done quick and easily.
The Universa 800 SERVO: ultimate performance at an affordable price.

FAQs About Universa 800 Servo Side Sealers
What is the Universa 800 Servo continuous motion side sealer?
The Universa 800 Servo is a fully automatic side sealer that combines the strengths of cycling and continuous machines. Powered by SIEMENS® SIMOTION® servo controls, it delivers precise, distortion-free seals and is ideal for packaging high-quality products such as chocolates, software boxes, DVDs, books, and magazines.
How fast can the Universa 800 Servo wrap products?
It can run at speeds of up to 80 cycles per minute, depending on the product and film type. This balance of speed and control makes it a strong choice for production lines that need both efficiency and accuracy.
What film types does it support?
The machine is compatible with PE, Polyolefin, and PVC films. It can also be fitted with a vacuum belt film transport, which provides extra precision for packaging that needs a tight, professional finish.
Can it handle products of random lengths and spacing?
Yes. With servo-controlled motion and vacuum film feed, the Universa 800 Servo easily adapts to products of varying lengths and irregular spacing, all while keeping the production flow smooth and consistent.
How easy is it to change formats on the Universa 800 Servo?
Format changes are straightforward. Operators can make adjustments using hand wheels, which allows them to move quickly between different product sizes without long interruptions.
What are the technical specifications?
- Cross seal width: approx. 32 in.
- Max seal frame clearance height: 10 in.
- Minimum product length: 5 in.
- Film reel: up to 16 in. diameter, 35 in. width
- Conveyor speed: up to 130 ft/min
- Operator Interface: Siemens TP 270 Touchpanel
- PLC: Siemens SIMOTION®
- Power supply: 208/480 V, 3-phase (5 kVA, 7.3 A)
Why is it called a "hybrid" machine?
It’s described as hybrid because it brings together the efficiency of continuous film feed with the precision of cycle-controlled sealing. This means manufacturers get the reliability of continuous operation while still benefiting from careful, accurate sealing.
What advantages do servo controls and SIMOTION bring?
It’s described as hybrid because it brings together the efficiency of continuous film feed with the precision of cycle-controlled sealing. This means manufacturers get the reliability of continuous operation while still benefiting from careful, accurate sealing.
Is the Universa 800 Servo suitable for high-quality retail packaging?
Absolutely. It was designed with premium packaging in mind. The combination of continuous motion and precise servo control ensures clean, durable seals that make products look polished and retail-ready.
What industries benefit most from the Universa 800 Servo?
This machine is well-suited for industries that require speed and consistent quality, including print and paper, food and bakery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and general retail packaging.
Can the Universa 800 Servo integrate with existing lines?
Yes. It is built for simple integration, with a user-friendly infeed system and product data memory that make it easy to connect with existing production lines and manage changeovers efficiently.
