Pack Adjuster: the ULMA Packaging assistant that reduces adjustments, increases productivity and minimises waste on Flow Pack lines

ULMA Packaging presents Pack Adjuster, a utility integrated into the HMI UPC 4.0 for easy, stop-free adjustment of product positioning, printed film alignment, and coding and labelling on Flow Pack machines. Its purpose is to make the operator’s work easier, avoid stopping production, and optimise material usage.

A common need: making adjustments without interrupting 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.
