Savour The Advantages of Nichrome’s Edible Oil Filling Machines

According to research by the Food Packaging Technology Department of the Central Food Technological research Institute in Mysore, bulk quantities of edible oils and hydrogenated fats (vanaspati) are packed and transported in expensive tin containers and galvanized iron drums, and sold in loose form by retail vendors. This practice gives scope to adulteration which has been a cause of ill health in India and other parts of the world. As a consequence, governments are trying to promote packaging of edible oils in inexpensive, plastic unit packages.

Distribution of oils/fats in unit consumer packs is increasingly popular as it assures quality unadulterated product packed under hygienic conditions. Moreover, in view of its logistical advantages such as light weight, low cost and tailor-made functionality, plastics in semi-rigid and flexible form are replacing conventional bulk packages.

Flexible pouches deliver the optimum balance of cost and benefits. They offer lower storage and transportation costs and are amenable to high speed FFS machines. Flexible unit pouches are available in a variety of formats: 3 side seal, 4 side seal, pillow pouch, flat pouch, and stand up pouch.
