Food grains and pulses are a rich source of life-sustaining nutrients. Good sources of carbohydrates, they also provide protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. They are the dietary staples for more than 95% of India’s population. Rice is the predominant cereal grain consumed in India, followed by wheat, maize, millet and sorghum.

Although grains are annual crops, they are consumed throughout the year. In general, grains are characterised by good storage stability, however they do get affected by high humidity, attack by pests, rodents, insects, etc., and physiological factors such as respiration and consequent heat build-up in the grains.

Hence, proper and safe storage methods need to be adopted till the grains are consumed. Proper packaging processes and packaging materials can help to achieve satisfactory storage.

Usually, before bulk packaging and storage, grain manufacturers/marketers fumigate their grains to diminish microbial growth and increase shelf life.

Packaging of grains and pulses must provide protection against 4 types of risks:

1. Biological – insects, rodents, micro-organisms, etc.

2. Physical -temperature, humidity and losses caused by improper sealing/seaming of the bag.

3. Chemical – moisture and oxygen

4. Physiological – respiration and heating of the product

CONSIDERATIONS FOR GRAINS AND PULSES PACKAGING

To protect the products and retard deterioration, grains need to be packed in functional packaging with the following qualities:

1. Ability to protect the contents from spoilage and pilferage

2. Offer protection against environmental conditions – barrier against moisture

3. Be insect-resistant to prevent insect infestation and insect damage

4. Offer protection against micro-organisms – provide oxygen barrier to prevent their growth

5. Strength to withstand transportation, handling and storage

6. Be economical, easily available and disposable

7. Conform to food laws & regulations

8. Assist in selling with attractive graphics for retail appeal

To put it simply, a pouch packing machine has two major components: the filling system and the bagging system. The filling system or filler is responsible for the accurate measurement and dispensing of the material into the pouch and the bagging system is responsible for packing and sealing the material in the pouch.

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.
