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.

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.

It is expected to cross INR 21,971 billion by 2024.

India has been the leading producer and consumer of dairy products worldwide since 1998 with a sustained growth in the availability of milk and milk products. Dairy activities form an essential part of the rural Indian economy, serving as an important source of employment and income. 

Nearly all of the dairy produce in India is consumed domestically, with the majority of it being sold as fluid milk.

Along with offering profitable business opportunities, the dairy industry in India serves as a tool of socio-economic development. Keeping this in view, the Government of India has introduced various schemes and initiatives aimed at the development of the dairy sector in the country.

Nichrome and the Indian dairy industry

Nichrome’s association with the dairy industry goes back more than four decades. Indeed, Nichrome’s foray into automated packaging machines was motivated by its commitment to further the cause of the White Revolution. Nichrome pioneered India’s first milk pouch packaging machine in the 1970s in response to the Government’s call for indigenous, cost-effective packaging solutions.

The first Filpack machine was commissioned at Kurla Dairy, Mumbai where the commercial distribution of milk pouches was started on 7th March 1977.

Today, as India’s leading integrated packaging solutions provider, Nichrome offers the fastest milk packaging machine besides many other automated dairy packaging solutions for liquid, powder and viscous products in the dairy industry.

Nichrome’s Mini Dairy Plant

More recently, Nichrome has developed a special mini dairy plant to help small dairy farmers process and package their produce for independent retailing.

Most small dairy owners sell their milk production to local cooperatives where they may not always get the best price.

Nichrome has developed an entry-level milk processing plant without boiler for the benefit of small dairy farmers. It is a low investment small milk processing plant that uses electricity to heat the milk.The milk plant is energy-efficient, low maintenance and easy to operate.

The process

• Raw milk is collected in silos
• The milk is filtered and impurities removed
• After filtration, the milk passes to the pasteuriser
• In the pasteuriser, the milk is heated to 72.5 degrees Celsius using electric heaters
• When the milk is heated to 65 degrees Celsius, it is passed to the homogeniser
• Homogenising breaks down the fat globules to extremely small particles and distributes them uniformly throughout the milk
• This prevents the separation of cream in the milk
• The milk returns to the pasteuriser where, at 72.5 degrees Celsius, pathogens, bacteria and micro-organisms are destroyed
• The milk is then immediately cooled to 8 degrees Celsius in the PHE Chiller
• The cooled, pasteurised and homogenised milk is stored in a storage tank
• This milk is then packaged in 200ml, 500 ml or 1000ml pouches with a Nichrome milk packaging machine

Conclusion

Since its pioneering start, Nichrome’s capabilities and offerings for milk packaging have grown and developed with every passing decade. Today, Nichrome offers automated packagingmachines and integrated packaging systems for a wide variety of dairy products including liquid (milk, buttermilk, flavoured milk), viscous (ghee, vanaspati, curd)and powders (dairy whiteners, milk powder). Nichrome’s dairy packaging machines and systems present certain common advantages such as compact, maintenance-friendly construction, high speed performance, requisite hygiene standards, and accurate filling and sealing.

For small dairy farmers, Nichrome’s mini dairy plant opens the doors to business prospects. Nichrome partners to study individual requirements,needs and constraints, then customises the solution. Nichrome makes it easy and hassle-free, training farmers and their staff to operate the plant with ease.

It’s Nichrome’s way of helping small dairy farmers access the power of modern technology to open the door to productivity and profitability.
