The post Making Non-Food Product Packaging Easy, Smart And Dependable. appeared first on Nichrome India Ltd.

Whether it is a vertical form-fill-seal machine or horizontal form-fill-seal machine, the filler plays a crucial role in fast and accurateoperations. In the food industry, fillers are used for filling flexible pouches, cans, bottles, etc. In the pharma industry, filling systemsensure accurate and sterile discharge of the product into syringes, vials, capsules, sachets and bottles.

Depending on the type of product to be packaged, filling systems are selected. Liquid packaging or grain packaging, snack packaging or oil packaging, sugar packaging or ready-to-eat food packaging – different products require different filling systems. Factors such as container size, may play a part in selecting specific filling machinery, or in customizing the machinery, but there are two basic criteria packagers followwhen deciding which filling system to use for their product.

MAIN CRITERIA WHEN CHOOSING A FILLER

Level of automation:

Filling machines or fillers are manufactured to work with automated packaging systems. They can also be manufacturedto work as stand-alone, semi-automatic machines, combining the filler with say, a capping machinery.

Knowing how many packs per minute, hour or day you need to fill will help to identify the level of automation necessary for your filling machine. High production levels may require an eight head automatic filling machine, and the filler could be designed to allow additional heads to be added in the future.

Filling principles:

The unique trails or characteristics of the product to be packed determine the filling principle. The working of a milk filling machine will differ from a powder filling machine; an automatic sugar filling machine requires a different filler than what is used by an edible oil filling machine.

For example, gravity fillers areideal for thin, free-flowing products. Thicker, viscous products require more than gravity to complete the filling process, so a piston filleror pump filling machine is more suited to filling viscous products.

NICHROME’S INNOVATIVE FILLING SYSTEMS

As India’s leading provider of integrated packaging solutions, and proven packaging machine manufacturer, Nichrome offers a range of filling systems for a wide range of Food, Pharma and other products. Whether you are investing in a new VFFS packaging machine; looking to upgrade an old one or want to use your current automated packaging machine for packing new products, it’s worth taking a look at Nichrome’s innovative filling systems.

Whether you are filling liquids, solids or powders, whether your product is being filled in bottles, cans or flexible pouches, manual filling methods are no longer viable as they result in low production outputs and losses through spillage. Automation is crucial to completing processing in a timely and cost-effective manner.

ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIC FILLING MACHINES

Automation in the packaging process creates many benefits for the packaging company. In automating the filling process, a company can expect to improve the packaging operation in a number of ways.

The main advantages include:

Reliability and consistency

Automatic filling machines will allow for a repeatable, reliable and consistent fill with each cycle, whether that fill is based on a level, volume, weight or other measurement. An automatic filler eliminates uncertainty from the process.

Higher speed

This is the most obvious benefit of using automatic packaging machines! From thin, free-flowing products like water or some powders to highly viscous products such as jelly or pastes, automatic fillers use power conveyors and multiple filling heads to fill more containers per cycle. So production runs faster – and constantly.

Simple controls

Modern filling machines come equipped with a PLC and easy-to-operate touch screen interface. Operators can quickly and easily set up indexing times, pump speeds, fill times and other parameters for the process. The ‘recipe’ is recorded by the PLC so it can be easily recalled in the future.

Versatility

Automatic filling machines can usually be set up to handle a range of products and container shapes and sizes. For companies that package multiple products, the right packaging machine filling machine offers ease of changeovers with simple adjustments so that downtime is minimised and production maximised.

Future ready

Automatic packaging machines should be purchased with the future in mind. It should be upgradeable – offer potential to grow capacity, add more filling heads and be compatible with other fillers so different types of products may be packed on the same machine.

Pouch filling machines are usually of two types: vertical form fill seal (VFFS) and horizontal form fill seal (HFFS), with VFFS being the more preferred technology.

Let’s see how VFFS packaging machines work.

A vertical form fill seal machine is a kind of pouch making and filling machine with a vertical structure. It’s mainly used for industrial packaging and processing and provides a more convenient and effective way of automatic packaging, saving time, material wastage and cost. 

Understanding the main components of the VFFS pouch filling machine will explain how these machines work:

Film Pulling System: This system consists of an unwinding roller and tensioner. A rollstock of film (usually laminated PE, PET, aluminium foil) is placed on the unwinding roller, usually situated at the rear of the machine. Using servo motors and the tensioner, the film is firmly and precisely unwound and pulled into the system.

Printer (Optional): The film passes by the printer where the date, production batch code etc will be printed on the film.

Pouch Former: After printing, the film moves to bag forming. The process overlaps the edges of the film to shape a pouch. Vertical and bottom sealing is done by sealing jaws.

Filling & Sealing Machine: Filling is accomplished by connecting the bagging machine to multi-head scale or other filling machine, such as an auger or volumetric filler. Those two machines are synced electronically, so that as soon as the bag is ready, the product is dropped in automatically.

Once the product has dropped into the bag, the top is sealed. The sealing jaws press the 2 parts of the overlapping material and weld them, often with heating, to create a side or centre seal.

Pouch Cut: The filled and sealed bag is cut away. That top seal on the first bag becomes the bottom of the next bag, and the process repeats. The cut pouch falls to a collection system, typically a belt conveyor that brings the pouch to the next packaging step.

Control Cabinet: On the side of the vertical form fill seal machine, is a control cabinet. It contains all the electrical parts inside. PLC, contactor, servo motors, pneumatic cylinder, solenoid valves, PLC expand mode, low-pressure electrical parts. HMI makes operating and controlling the machine easier.

There are many pouch filling machine manufacturers offering multiple machines for diverse applications. Whether you are looking for an oil pouch packaging machine or searching for a reliable milk pouch packing machine manufacturer; whether you wish to package powder, liquid, viscous or granular products into flexible pouches – Nichrome is your best bet.

Four decades of experience worldwide, intensive inhouse R&D, state-of-art manufacturing, technology tie-ups with global majors, thousands of successful installations, strong nation-wide service network – few pouch filling machine manufacturers can match the knowhow, capabilities and track record of Nichrome. For your pouch filling machine, call Nichrome.
