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.

Today’s market and changing global standards call for high standards of packaging. And as your business gears up for increased demand, you will undoubtedly face ‘growing pains’ such as labour issues, inefficiencies and wastage, operation costs and bandwidth limitations.

Automatic packaging machines are the solution. Automatic packaging machines are automated machines that use a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention in processes. Automation implies automatic control via modern PLCs or information technology.

Benefits of Nichrome’s automatic packaging machines

Productivity

Automated packaging machinery work much faster than manual methods, so you can dramatically increase productivity to save time and ensure a faster production line. Rather than struggling with employing additional staff when you want to increase production, you have a reliable automatic packaging machine that can take on the extra work and isn’t afraid of a repetitive task. For example, Nichrome’s milk packing machine Filpack 12k is a super-fast machine filling and sealing 12000 milk pouches in an hour!

Safer working conditions

If the items that you are packaging are bulky, cumbersome and heavy, then there can be a risk for health and safety. Back injuries from manually wrapping pallet loads, carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive motion during package assembly, or a lack of safety guards on older equipment, are all areas that can be addressed with automatic machines. Automated packaging thus creates a safer working environment.

Meticulous quality

With automated packaging, you can be sure that every package is well-protected through a standardised packing process. With automated packaging, each product has a tailored packaging design and shape so that you can be sure of the same level of protection for each item.

Reduced wastage

An automatic packaging machine is programmed to be economical in its use of material, cutting to precise size and creating an efficient pattern that maximises protection out of the least material. This helps businesses save a considerable amount in packaging material costs. Moreover, with more consistent seals and improved tunnel performance, reworks and scrap rates will decrease further delivering substantial cost savings.

Lower labour costs

Labour intensive processes can be expensive and also unreliable as workers can make mistakes, fall ill, lose concentration while performing repetitive tasks, etc. Plus, labour costs keep rising, making it hard to calculate the budget required for your packaging and the cost of packaging per product. By reducing the labour requirements, you can utilise your staff in other value-adding areas in the business.

Specialised packaging

If you have many products and different packaging sizes, an automated solution is right for you. Whether the need is vacuum packing, pressure filling, modified atmosphere packing (MAP), sterilised or inflatable, Nichrome can tailor the right piece of equipment to suit your bespoke needs. Nichrome also offers machines compatible with different fillers so the same machine packs diverse products and pouch formats with easy changeover.

Conclusion

Although automatic packaging machines may seem expensive, you will be able to recover the costs in a matter of months.

Besides, people buy products if they are pleasing to the eye and assure good hygiene standards. Automation means great packaging with accurate information. This creates a good impression and helps promote the brand. Nichrome’s automatic packaging machines make your products cost-effective, safe and appealing. Consult Nichrome with your needs and projections – they will help you with a solution that best suits your requirements. This will help you to expand operations, improve productivity and grow your consumers, while ensuring employee safety and profitability.

Flexible packaging accounts for 19 percent of the overall packaging market and is expected to grow at a rate of 3.9 percent CAGR by 2023, according to the 2019 Flexible Packaging Marketing Assessment by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Convenient packaging, excellent barrier properties, sustainable materials and growing customer base for fast-moving consumer products and consumer durables in emerging countries are driving this expansion.

Especially for food manufacturers and even pharmaceutical and cosmetic product manufacturers, flexible packaging is emerging as the preferred choice. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Convenient – fulfils consumer demand for portability
• Cost-efficient – low cost per package
• Lightweight – low storage & distribution costs
• Safer distribution – less risk of breakage and injury
• Eco friendly – small carbon footprint
• Customisable – can be moulded into varieties of shapes & sizes
• Brand building – more surface for graphics & messaging; scope for creative concepts

AUTOMATIC FLEXIBLE PACKAGING MACHINES

Automatic flexible packaging machines can be divided into 2 broad categories:

Form-Fill-Seal: FFS machines are the most widely used flexible packaging type. As the name suggest, the machine forms bags, fills them with the product, and seals the filled bag. Some FFS machines work vertically(vertical-form-fill-seal or VFFS) and some perform the process horizontally (horizontal-form-fill-seal or HFFS). VFFS are the more popular type as they occupy limited floor space and usually cost less than HFFS machines.

For industries that need to package their products (e.g. condiments, drink mixes, sugar, etc.) in small packets, multi lane machines are extremely popular. Used popularly as sugar sachet packaging machine or ketchup packaging machine, these form-fill-seal machines create multiple packages via multiple channels simultaneously.

Fill-Seal:These machines are growing in demand. The machine fills pre-made pouches with product and then seals the pouches shut.Some of these premade pouch filling machines operate in a rotary fashion and others in a straight line. Rotary machines offer better ergonomics for operators, and occupy less floor space.
