Flexible Oil Packaging to protect oils & vanaspati

 

Edible oils and hydrogenated fats (vanaspati) are extensively used in human diet. About 55% of vegetable oil consumed in India is imported, making India the world's leading importer - ahead of China and the EU. Bulk quantities are packed and transported in expensive in containers and galvanised iron drums, and sold loose by retail vendors. This practice gives scope for adulteration which has been a cause of ill health in India and many other countries.

Governments have been trying to enforce compulsory packing of edible oils in inexpensive plastic unit packages. Distribution of oils/fats in unit consumer packs is increasingly becoming popular as it assures quality product packed under hygienic conditions. In view of their logistic advantages such as light weight, reduced material cost, low storage & handling costs and convenient shapes, flexible packaging is replacing conventional bulk packs.

In fact, the use of flexible pouches has made it possible for organised brand owners to penetrate the rural markets with smaller SKUs. This has allowed manufacturers to pass on price reductions to consumers.

Edible oils are highly susceptible to deterioration, and need to be protected from the following:

Moisture: Moisture is a major cause of spoilage of fats and oils. Hydrolytic rancidity is caused by moisture due to hydrolysis of fats and oils to glycerol and free fatty acids which cause the off odour.

Oxygen: Oxidation of oils creates aldehydes and ketones which are responsible for the rancid odour of oils & fats. Unrefined oils are less prone to oxidation due to the presence of natural antioxidants and pigments.

Tainting by extraneous sources: Oils & vanaspati are susceptible to odour pickup from external sources, packaging materials, etc. and must be protected.

Colour & vitamin degradation: This occurs due to exposure to UV light and further accelerated by oxygen. Using opaque and pigmented packaging materials can protect oil from this.

How we pack liquids better than others?

Liquid foods as commodities require utmost care when packing, sealing and most importantly post packing as it also includes the transportation, till it reaches the consumer.

Nichrome is a packaging machine manufacturing company, who are experts in manufacturing liquidpackaging machine, dairy products packaging and automatic filling machine. When it comes to liquid filling and packaging; the pouches have to be dry, convenient to handle and attractive. Liquids have unique requirements for packaging, since they need to stay fresh and odorless on the supermarket shelves for a long time.

Nichrome’s Horizontal Form Fill Seal and Vertical Form Fill Seal machines have been designed to cater to the vast and varied requirements in liquid filling and packaging segment. These include edible oil filling and packaging machines, ghee pouch packaging machine, milk packaging and other dairy products packaging solutions.

Understanding how the machine affects the product – Nichrome is aware that impact of the filler can cause the liquid to change its taste, colour, smell and taste. The state and viscosity of the product can be unconsciously changed depending on the liquid filling machines. For example if the liquid is passed through the pipes faster than the required speed the liquid’s physical structure can change causing it to be less viscous. Nichrome keeps the product characteristics front-of-mind when manufacturing equipment.

Consistency accuracy and reliability – Nichrome’s innovativepackaging solutions ensure that every pouch is filled with the same amount of liquid maintaining the consistency of the filling machine. Nichrome’s liquid filling and packaging solutions provide vital accuracy while packing through different pouches of various sizes and weights, thus reducing the percentage of wastage per batch. Nichrome’s leak detectors test for pin-hole leaks in individual containers by comparing air pressure decay rate to a benchmark container; thus ensuring no leaks, increased reliability and accuracy.

Listed below are major advantages of Nichrome’s liquid filling & packaging solutions and how can they help you pack your liquid products effectively while retaining their original taste and aroma days and months after packaging.

Nichrome manufactures leak detectors to test for pin-hole leaks in individual containers by comparing air pressure decay rate to a benchmark container with no leaks.

Both automatic and manual leak detectors will work with a range of container sizes and shapes. Manual leak detectors are ideal for lower production facilities and allow the operator to test one container at a time for container seepage. Automatic leak detectors allow for inline container testing with anywhere from one to sixteen testing heads. The automatic leak detector also includes a reject station for containers found to have leaks.

AUTOMATIC LEAK DETECTOR

The automatic leak detector can act as a standalone leak detection system or can be added to an inline packaging system for constant leak detection. With one to sixteen heads, the leak detector measures air pressure decay rate and compares the rate to a benchmark.

MANUAL LEAK DETECTOR

The easy to operate manual leak detector allows an operator to test one container at a time for bottle seepage. The leak detector measures air pressure decay rate and compares the rate to that of a non-leaking container.

SPEED

Nichrome’s liquid filling and packaging solutions provide speed required to ensure maximum output per batch or shift boosting the overall productivity of the unit.

ACCURACY

Nichrome’s liquid filling and packaging solutions provide vital accuracy while packing through different pouches of various sizes and weights, thereby reducing the percentage of wastage per batch.

VERSATALITY

Products such as juices, squashes, edible oils, butter milk, curd, mineral water, flavored milk, lassi, etc. are hygienically packed in various pouch formats while retaining their natural goodness of taste and nutrition at all times.
