Nichrome India is India’s leading provider of integrated
packaging solutions. A pioneer and market leader in flexible packaging machines
for diverse applications, Nichrome is a company passionate about innovation to meet industry
challenges, improve productivity and sustainability in packaging
operations.
As a company that uses plastic for packaging, Nichrome is
aware and concerned about the need to reduce and recycle plastic for a cleaner,
greener world.
Nichrome has designed and launched a unique innovation to
decrease the pouch length and thereby reduce the use of plastic in packaging
pouches. Nichrome’s patented pouch length reduction kit RLO (repeat length
optimization) can be installed as a retrofit on existing Nichrome
machines, and helps to save 7 mm in pouch length of a 50 gm pouch and 10 mm
in a 100 gm pouch.
The RLO also has a product settler with extended air removal
pads that remove the air from the pouch without a pin prick. This makes the
pouches less bulky, so customers save on secondary packaging and logistics.
The innovation is
ideally suited for powder packaging and works well for all types of powdery and
granular products such as Atta, Cake Mix, Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk Powder,
Agrochemicals, etc.
Advantages of Nichrome’s RLO
- Reduction in pouch length min 5mm + saving in laminate film
- Further reduction in Residual Air in the pouch
- Clean horizontal seal, minimizes the chances of leakages due to product in seal
- Savings in Secondary packaging and logistics
- Avoids use of pin prick and hence extended shelf life of the product
- This addition to the machine does not reduce the output
- ROI of the unit is within a month of production
Innovation in action
Nichrome’s ROL patented pouch length reduction kit is
installed at Shakti Masala and is also working wonders at Nani Agro. At Nani
Agro, Nichrome demonstrated the new kit on a 1 kg spice bag and saved almost
10mm of pouch length. Calculated over a year of operations, this mounts to almost
4 tonnes of plastic saved!
