NICHROME FILLING SYSTEMS FOR THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY

 

To put it simply, a pouch packing machine has two major components: the filling system and the bagging system. The filling system or filler is responsible for the accurate measurement and dispensing of the material into the pouch and the bagging system is responsible for packing and sealing the material in the pouch.

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.

Sugar Packaging – Retail Sector View

Sugar is one of the world’s most consumed products. Every cuisine in the world needs sugar and it is sold practically in every supermarket or grocery store. Sugar is mainly sold in granulated form called ‘white sugar’ or ‘regular sugar’. It is also sold in other forms like brown sugar, raw sugar, liquid sugar etc.

Packaging of sugar is one of the most important aspects of the sugar retail chain. Sugar being a water soluble product, needs complete protection from water.

Benefits of Packed Sugar!

Benefits of Packed Sugar!

Sugar acts as a tenderizing and texturing agent in frozen foods and baked foods. For e.g. it increases the effectiveness of yeast providing an immediate and more utilized source of nourishment for its growth. Adding sugar to ice-cream provides body and texture which is perceived as smoothness. It is therefore important to retain the goodness of sugar while packing it to be sent to the retail market.

Loose sugar in gunny bags or jute bags is exposed to atmospheric air and temperature thus reducing its inherent goodness. This sugar when added to food or beverages is likely to ruin its taste and nutrition value. Manufacturers have therefore switched to packed sugar as it is easily preferred by reasonably aware consumers residing in cities and semi-urban areas. Packed sugar is in vogue as it is easy to pick and carry. Sugar Packaging requires accurate filling and packaging solutions that keep the goodness of sugar intact and improve its shelf life. Versatile pouch packaging also defines the solution and its scalability. . Various pouch formats, like Four Side Seal, Re-Sealable Pouches, Pillow Pouch, Pouches with Zippers, etc., are available for sugar packaging that enhance its aesthetics lending a unique identity for the brand.

Automatic sugar filling and packaging machines are the multitasking solutions that can also seal the packs the moment they are filled. Just a single automatic packaging machine lets you execute entire set of tasks which would otherwise prove tedious and taxing. Moreover, the advanced automation technology in packaging machines has massively reduced the necessity of manpower, which can again save your overall cost.
