Range and Reliability in Powder Packaging: Nichrome

Powder packaging is not easy. Different powders come with their own challenges. Some are free flowing, others are not. Some, like flour, cause a dusty environment. Certain powders like agro-chemicals can turn explosive with certain gases and an electrical spark. Product changeovers can cause cross-contamination issues.

Then, different customers have different expectations. Some have limited floor space; some want multiple types of pouch formats and package quantities. Many demand versatility so the same machine can be used for varied products. Some plants do only small sachet packaging; others do bulk packaging. Few prefer Horizontal-Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) machines while others like Vertical-Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) technology.

Pharma Powder Packaging Made Safe and Simple: Nichrome

When it comes to packaging pharmaceutical powders such as ORS, nutraceutical powders, etc. in flexible pouches or sachets, it is crucial that the packaging material delivers oxygen, light, and moisture barriers that meet stringent requirements (including clear high-barrier lamination). The sealant layers need to provide outstanding seal strength and seal-through-contamination characteristics that hold, carry and protect the contents of the pouch through the transportation and handling process.

Heat-sealable laminate or co-ex film is a preferred packaging material for many pharmaceutical companies. And Nichrome’s Pharmaceutical packaging machines are the chosen machines for speed, accuracy, performance and return on investment.

Nichrome’s Sprint 250 Plus with Servo Auger and Excel Plus with Servo Auger are VFFS machines that efficiently pack free-flowing and granular pharmaceutical powders in pouch quantities up to 2 kg and 10 kg respectively.  Sprint 250 plus with Servo Auger has a servo motor driven sealing system for effective sealing pressure, and a perforation system to offer chain of pouches. It is a sturdy, compact machine and can be easily integrated with upstream and downstream equipment.
