Nichrome’s tin filling machine line or tin packing line is a robust, low-maintenance system made for accurate and efficient performance. The programmable logic controller (PLC)-fitted line features a digital liquid crystal display (LCD) touchscreen with settings. It also has safety enclosures with interlocks for rotary parts. Various tin sterilization and cleaning options are available from Nichrome.

Tins are used mainly in the food and pharma industry where barriers are extremely important. They provide safety, durability, and convenience. This makes them the preferred choice for packaging coffee powder, milk powder, baby formula, spice powders, nutritional supplements and more.

Can (or tin) sealers          

A can (tin) sealer is a machine that seals the can lid to the can body in a way that is completely airtight. The lid of the can is usually made of tin-plated steel. The material for the body depends on the product being canned.

It can be made of metal, paperboard, or plastic. The can sealer interlocks the outer end of the lid with the top part of the can body. This process is called double seaming. The double seam creates a strong mechanical joint to seal the product inside the can. In addition to the mechanical interlocking, a sealing compound is attached to the curl of the lid. This makes the seal not only strong but also airtight.

Tin Packaging Machine Line

Tins for filling come in various formats like tin with sealing, tin with capping and composite tins. They are used to fill snacks, ready-to-eat food, liquids, powder, spice, coffee etc. Among the non-food applications, tins are packed with agrochemicals, adhesives, paints, wall putty, dyes & pigments etc. Metal is a preferred packaging material. Even as newer packaging materials are introduced each day, metal packaging retains its charm and utility.

Nichrome’s Tin Packing Machine Line

Nichrome offers an efficient tin filling line system that helps you meet your packaging needs. Just change the filler to fill different products, and this innovative packaging solution will enable tin packaging in stock keeping units ranging from 100 gm to 1000 gm.

Whether it is milk powder, spice powders, seasoning powders & pharma powders or pulses, grains, sugar or tea, Nichrome’s tin filling line guarantees high-speed, accurate filling. Nichrome’s tin filling line system includes a turn table for empty tins, and an inverted tin cleaning machine.

The line system also features a UV chamber, dial indexing unit for twin tin filling, two servo auger fillers, seamer, date batch coding system, capping machine (lid pressing unit), cap elevator with storage silo and turn table for filled tins.

The Nichrome Edge

Tertiary Packaging

Tertiary packaging is the final layer of packaging – used to protect the manufactured products during shipping or storage. Its purpose is not only the protection of the products but also the protection of their primary and secondary packaging.

Tertiary packaging is usually not visible to consumers as it is normally removed by retailers before the products are placed on shelves for sale. Some examples of tertiary packaging include brown cardboard boxes, wooden pallets, and shrink wraps.

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.
