Here is how we address the unique challenges of the oil packaging industry –

Dealing with Viscosity Variation

For oil packaging you can’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. From edible oil packaging to thick industrial greases, the viscosity of the product vastly varies. This can often pose a major challenge in maintaining consistent flow rates while preventing overflows or underfills.

Our oil-package machines are designed to have adaptable filling mechanisms that can easily handle a wide range of viscosities. When you have Nichrome’s oil packaging solutions in your corner, it is like having a multitasking expert on the job, whether it’s a free-flowing sunflower oil, or a dense vehicle lubricant, this expert can ensure smooth and precise fills every time. The advanced nozzles and flow control systems of our machines are equipped with the technology to adjust dynamically, ensuring the right amount of product, regardless of its thickness.

Managing Spills & Wastage

A messy operation isn’t preferred by anyone, even while oil packaging. These product spills don’t only waste oils, but they also create a slippery slope toward inefficiency and increased cleaning costs. Spillages also lead towards contamination risks, especially in edible oil packaging, which makes precision even more difficult and critical.

This is why we have engineered our systems to minimize spills with pinpoint accuracy. Our anti-drip nozzles, controlled filling speeds and optimized sealing processes all work together to ensure that every drop constantly stays inside the package. We believe that less mess means less stress and more savings. Moreover, our machines are also designed to maintain a clean and a hygienic environment for your workspace, making sure that food safety standards and industrial regulations are all met with.

Maintaining Exact Fill Levels

In packaging, consistency is always the king because customers always expect every bottle, pouch or sachet to have the exact same quantity which is promised on the packaging label. However, small discrepancies in fill levels can happen any time, this happens due to machine errors, temperature fluctuations or product foam. Even these minor variations can lead to customer complaints or regulatory issues.

Our packaging machines are equipped with advanced sensors and volumetric filling technologies to guarantee accuracy down to the last milliliter. Real-time monitoring and adjustments make sure that every package is always spot on. We even ensure automated quality check at every stage of the packaging process, creating perfectly filled containers. This also reduces the need for manual intervention, resulting in less human-errors and seamless processes.

Making Precision meet Speed

It is a common-misconception that precision has to come at the cost of speed and efficiency. However, in today’s fast-paced manufacturing market, Nichrome has developed machines that can seamlessly deliver high speed and quality output without sacrificing accuracy.

Our oil packaging machines are capable of handling multiple packaging formats at an impressive speed, be it cooking oil packaging or ghee and vanaspati packaging. So you get precision filled containers in various formats, all thanks to the synchronization of automated operations and cutting-edge technology. Our technology ensures that you can scale production efficiently in order to meet the constantly rising demands, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Built Reliability

We at Nichrome understand that when it comes to packaging machinery, it is a long-term investment. Even a single downtime can cause derailment in production schedules hurting the profitability. That’s why our packaging machines are built to last. With durable materials, minimal maintenance requirements and user-friendly interfaces, these machines are designed to keep running smoothly for years to come.
