Herpak-ULMA Launched High-Speed Tray-Sealing Line for the Production of Meat

In January 2026, Herpak-ULMA introduced a high-speed tray-sealing application for ground meat production. The line is designed by the Mondini Trave Sinfonia platform, and it is fully automated. The line increases output by 100% and offers high-quality output. The line manufactures 120 to 200 packs per minute.

Introduction to High-Speed Tray-Sealing Line

The new line is a continuous-motion system and consists of a software-controlled magnetic-transport architecture. It is a fully automated solution, and it eliminates mechanical constraints. The design does not have friction-based components, belts, or pusher arms. The application offers results faster and includes a dual-denesting, 14-up sealing array, portioning, & retractable conveyor loading. The application offers a contamination-resistant tray path.

According to Towards FnB, the meat processing equipment market size stood at USD 12.92 billion in 2025 and is predicted to grow from USD 13.81 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 25.23 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.92% from 2026 to 2035, due to the growing consumption of convenience meat and increased demand for protein.

The high-speed tray-sealing lines are widely used across consumer goods, food, and pharmaceutical industries. It is used for packaging diverse items like poultry, salads, fresh meat, ready-to-eat meals, and fish. It helps in sealing medical components and is used for sealing industrial goods. It maintains freshness in processed meat. The MAP is used for red meat cuts and fresh poultry. The VSP is used for fish, high-end cuts, and marinated meats. It is a high-quality sealing and supports diverse sizes of trays. It lowers labor costs and increases efficiency.   

The meat processing equipment is rapidly expanding globally due to the integration of artificial intelligence. Factors like labor shortages, heavy growth in processed meat products, focus on maintaining hygiene, creation of meat processing facilities, rise of RTE meat, expansion of QSRs, focus on enhancing yield efficiency, industrial modernization, surge in packaged sausages, growing labor costs, focus on maximizing meat industry profits, and automation advancements are responsible for the rapid adoption of meat processing equipment. 

Herpak-ULMA company focuses on developing sustainable packaging solutions and advancing automation for meat processing. The company manufactures high-efficiency flow wrapping for fresh protein and poultry applications. The company focuses on the development of FM400 Flow Wrapper, Next-Gen TFX Thermoformers, and ARTIC SS Chevron Flow Wrapper for food industry applications. The company heavily invests in Augmented Reality technology.
