ULMA Sienna Flow Pack Wrapper (HFFS)
The ULMA Sienna is a horizontal flow pack wrapper (HFFS) that produces three-seal pillow packs, designed especially for irregular or difficult-to-handle products. It's a well-regarded machine in food packaging — particularly for produce, meat, and cheese — but also used for non-food applications like gloves and household items.
Model Variants
The Sienna comes in several configurations. The naming convention breaks down like this:
LS — Longitudinal Seal (standard fin seal along the bottom)
SP — Single Point (single cross-seal jaw set)
BI — Bi-directional / Box-motion jaw (as opposed to rotary)
The Sienna LS SP BI would be a standard fin-seal machine with a single cross-seal station using box-motion jaws.
