MAP or Modified Atmosphere Packagingis a widely used technique of preservation when it comes to food packaging. It is a notable method of preventing spoilage and extending the shelf life of various food products.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging and food tray sealing machines became especially essential during the COVID-19 pandemic as customers were instructed to leave their homes only when necessary, so many people began stocking up on food products with longer shelf lives. This resulted in an extensive increase in demand for packaged food products that were packed using MAP technology.

What is MAP exactly?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging includes either actively or passively modifying the atmosphere surrounding the product in the interior of a package made of various types and/or combinations of films.

Modified atmosphere packaging machines India come in two kinds: Passive and Active. An active modified atmosphere packaging is the process in which the displacement of gases in the package is done and is then replaced with a desired mixture of gases. A passive modified atmosphere packaging is when the product is packaged using a selected film type and the required atmosphere develops on its own as a consequence of the products’ respiration and diffusion of gases through the film. Another approach is to use an automatic packing machine or a tray sealer machine india to create a vacuum in the packaging hence not allowing the food to spoil.
 
 One of the major active MAP technologies in Packaging solutions in India for food and beverage products is gas flushing. A gas flush is used for the following purposes:

  • Displacement of oxygen inside the package to delay oxidation
  • Decreasing the development of aerobic spoilage organisms
  • Acting as a filler for maintaining package conformity

During the gas flush procedure, a harmless gas — usually nitrogen or carbon dioxide or both — is dynamically pumped into the bag before it is sealed in order to displace ambient oxygen. The reason for this is to decrease the amount of oxygen since it is the most damaging to the freshness of the material.

The role of nitrogen and carbon dioxide

Nitrogen, being an inert gas, is frequently used in nitrogen packing machines and nitrogen filling machines for food packaging to displace oxygen for products which are prone to oxidation. It also acts as a filler gas to prevent the pack from collapsing. Many snack products like potato wafers rely on nitrogen flushing to ensure longer shelf life, decrease rancidity and maintain the quality of the snacks.

Carbon dioxide is generally inserted to act as an anti-microbial agent. A minimum amount of 20% carbon dioxide is mixed with nitrogen to form anaerobic environments that inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms. Most commonly, raw and cooked meats, fish, ready meals, combination products and bakery goods are packed with a proportion of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is usually used at levels between 25–40% but can be used up to 100% in packaging bakery goods and some cheeses to provide a longer mould-free shelf life.

How does modified atmosphere packaging protect food items?

The primary way in which modified atmosphere packaging by a food tray packing machine protects fresh food is by decreasing its exposure to oxygen. The presence of oxygen leads to oxidation, which causes discolouration, spoilage, and change in flavour and texture. Decreasing or regulating the amount of oxygen present in a package can ensure that the food product remains fresh longer, thereby extending its shelf life and ensuring the consistency of the food products.

Nichrome’s MAP Offerings

One of Nichrome’s MAP offerings in Packaging Machines India is the Athena Thermoforming Tray Sealing Machine from Tecnovac, Italy. The Athena machine is able to seal and pack in a protective atmosphere of vacuum and gas all types of trays and jars. Its strong stainless steel structure and easy maintenance make the Athena ideal for use in small and medium-sized companies.

The Athena horizontal packaging machine ensures that the marketers of cut fruits & vegetables, meat & fish, namkeen & sweets, and ready to eat meals like biryani are able to ensure that their products stay safe and hygienic till they arrive at the consumer’s table.

The modified atmosphere packaging machine works by extracting oxygen & carbon dioxide from the air of the trays, while synchronously filling them with nitrogen or mixed air to ensure that the food does not deteriorate, after which, the tray is sealed well.

Conclusion

With ‘snackification’ being all the rage and the growing demand for packed foods with longer shelf lives, it is imperative that manufacturers and packagers invest in reliable MAP technology for their packaging process. MAP allows food producers to maximize convenience to consumers while still offering the fresh, preservative-free food products they desire.

Powders, especially fine ones, are amongst the trickiest materials to package safely and efficiently. Whether it be spice, milk or protein powder, drink mixes or pharmaceutical/nutraceutical powder, every powder comes with its own challenges such as flowability, dust control, cross-contamination, weighing, de-aeration and more.

Powder packaging machines, therefore, play a crucial role. After all, primary packaging is the last step in the manufacturing process. The product that has been produced is filled in packaging that will ensure its protection and safe handling till it reaches the consumer. Problems at the packaging stage mean the entire process suffers in quality or throughput.

Some of the problems faced in dry powder filling machines:

Powder flow properties: Product flowability is of utmost importance. Powder fillers are sensitive to powders that are cohesive. This is especially true for small packaging formats and in cup dosing systems that rely on gravity to fill and empty cups.

The flow in the hopper above the filling head must be good, otherwise, the powder will reach the filling head on an irregular pattern causing deviation in the actual weight packed.

Weight control: The filling process is usually volumetric. This often causes variability in the actual weight filled. The volume of product being moved by the dosing system to a pack must be very well controlled so it results in a constant, consistent weight which is what consumers are paying for.

Leakage of pack: Sealing of the pack must be done without powder sticking in between the 2 sides of the packaging material. This usually happens if the product, while falling into the pack generates dust, and the dust does not settle before the sealing jaws close.

Sanitation: This includes containment, prevention of contamination and cleaning. For both food producers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, product quality is paramount. So, they require packaging equipment that eliminates contamination, while providing containment of dust and spillage, as well as easy cleaning.

The powder packaging market is growing fast. Whether it be ground masalas or milk powder, drink mixes or nutraceutical products, flour or pre-mixes, there is a huge amount of food, pharma and other powders out there, all waiting to be packed in safe, accurate and hygienic packs.

As convenience products become increasingly popular, we can expect more products and varying package formats for products like spice blends, instant coffee and its variants, drink mixes, protein powders, sweeteners, etc.

Challenges of powder packaging

When choosing a powder packaging machine, or even when providing a powder packaging solution, it is essential to study and understand the pertinent characteristics of the specific powder application. Different powders come with their own challenges. Some are free-flowing, others are not. Some, like flour, cause a dusty environment. Certain powders like agrochemicals can turn explosive with certain gases and an electrical spark. Product changeovers can also cause cross-contamination issues.

Some aspects to be considered when choosing a powder packaging machine are:

Is the powder free-flowing? Products such as table salt or sugar flow freely when dispensed, and do not compact when extra pressure is added.

Is the powder non-free-flowing? These tend to be cohesive and compact under pressure. These include products like brown sugar, powdered milk.

How dusty is the powder? Products like flour, when dispensed, form a cloud of dust that travels far and clings to every surface in the vicinity. These airborne particles can cause serious mechanical issues.

There are other aspects to be considered as well, such as bulk density of the product, which all directly determine pouch sizes and attributes, the type of filler required, as well as the packaging speeds that can be delivered.

In the pharma industry, there’s no margin for error. Whether it be the research, product development, product manufacturing or packaging process, the highest levels of precision, hygiene and quality are mandatory. Stringent GMP, FDA and other compliances have to be met.

Choosing new pharmaceutical packaging machines can be a confusing, stressful experience. There are so many manufacturers, suppliers and equipment models to choose from, and the cost implications can be huge. Here are some points to keep in mind when selecting your pharma packaging machinery.

1. Output capacity

Output capacity depends on the speed of your machine. Depending on your output requirement, choose a packaging machine that can deliver as per specifications. A machine that runs too fast or too slow can be problematic for your operators.

2. Digital capabilities

The pharma industry runs on the power of information technology and automation. A machine with advanced digital capabilities increases efficiency and enhances ease of use. From touch screens and all-access control to IoT compatible systems – pharma equipment with these capabilities will make your processes more productive, accurate and manageable.

3. Cleaning ease

Cleaning is an essential component of any manufacturing process but it shouldn’t be complicated or involve huge amounts of downtime. Look for a machine that offers easy disconnect features. It will make cleaning faster, easier, and less stressful for your operators.

4. Production scale

Research industry requirements will naturally differ from those of industrial scale production lines. Machines can be of lab-scale and commercial-scale, so being clear about what type of equipment you need will make your selection easier and more effective.

5. Ease of operation

While modern machines are fully automatic, human intervention cannot be completely ruled out. Man-machine interaction still prevails, so you need a machine or pharma packaging line that is easy to understand and operate. Your equipment shouldn’t be so simple as to miss out the latest innovations or technical features, nor should it be too complex to handle. With proper training, your operators should be able to efficiently manage day-to-day operations of the system.

6. Helpful, reliable supplier

Pharmaceutical machinery is a substantial investment, so find a supplier who deals in reputed brands and proven models. Your supplier should also have the knowhow, skills and experience to deliver and service high quality automatic packaging machines. Above all, your supplier should understand your industry needs and criteria, and patiently guide you through the best options.
