In India, dairy is more than food; it is
a tradition, a culture and a source of nourishment. From the golden ghee being
poured in, hot, to dal, from the rich khowa in mithai shops, from creamy butter
that has begun melting over parathas, these staples come loaded with purity,
flavour and history. But behind this image is a struggle: packaging.
The sticky nature of ghee, potential of
oxidation of khowa and high hygienic requirements have made it a tedious task.
Traditionally, many manufacturers still use manual pouching solutions that
cause product leakage, contamination, waste and operational inefficiency. They
can’t keep up with the expectations modern consumers have for cleanliness,
shelf life and branding.
This is where Nichrome
comes in, a pioneer among the packaging
machine manufacturers in India, introducing precision-engineered, automated
dairy packaging machines that
ensure freshness, prolong shelf life, and preserve purity. To Indian milk
producers, Nichrome has been much more than just a vendor, it has been an ally
in the journey upward.
Why Automated Packaging is a
Game-Changer for Dairy
You may find simple or semi-automatic milk packing machines appear to be
cheaper initially; however, they are labour-intensive, variable and will not
always maintain hygiene levels. For example, in small dairies, manual processes
often result in under filling, poor sealing, and spoilage, particularly for
greasy ghee or fragile khowa.
In contrast, Nichrome’s smart dairy packaging machines create
airtight seals for ghee, precise dosages for khowa and provide hygienic sealing
of butter. Automation equates to sanitary, stainless-steel construction, rapid
output and reliable branding. Whether it’s a mini dairy in
a remote village or a large milk factory for exporting, Nichrome’s automation
complies with Indian standards of food safety and offers solutions that can
grow with manufacturers regardless of their scales.
Nichrome's Dairy Packaging
Solutions: Tech + Trust
Nichrome’s advantage is the integration
of the precision of engineering manufacturers with decades of experience in
India’s dairy industry. Our dairy packaging machines are
designed to handle sticky, oily and semi solid dairy products. Let’s take a
look machine by machine:
VFFS (Vertical Form Fill Seal)
Machines
● Best for Dairy Products: Ghee pouches, retail pouches of dahi
and packs of butter (100 ml – 1 kg)
● Key Features: High-speed pouching, servo-driven fillers, nitrogen
flushing, minimal wastage, pouch formats (CSPP, Centre Seal Stickpack)
● Why It Matters: For dairies battling leaks in manual packs,
Nichrome’s ghee packaging machines produce secure, leak-proof pouches.
Precision dosing reduces loss while speed ensures higher output which is vital
for mass production.
HFFS (Horizontal Form Fill Seal)
Machines
● Best for Dairy Products: Premium ghee packs and mini butter
cubes
● Key Features: Multiple pouch formats (stand-up, zipper, 4-side seal),
branding flexibility, export-ready finishes
● Why It Matters: These machines are perfect for producers targeting
retail shelves and export markets. Whether it’s butter squares or khowa slabs,
HFFS ensures consumer-friendly packs that look premium while staying hygienic.
Bottle & Jar Filling
Machines
● Best for Dairy Products: Ghee bottles/jars (200 ml – 5 kg)
● Key Features: Servo-driven accuracy, drip-minimizing technology, easy
changeovers
● Why It Matters: In urban markets, PET jars, HDPE bottles, and glass
jars remain popular. Nichrome’s fillers not only deliver precise volumes but
also preserve product appeal, ensuring that ghee brands build loyalty with
attractive, convenient packs. (flavoured milk, consumable products)
Thermoforming MAP (Modified
Atmosphere Packaging) Machines
●
Best for Dairy Products: Butter portions, dahi cups,
paneer and cheese blocks

Key Features: High-barrier modified
atmosphere packaging; vacuum, gas flushing and tray sealing.

Why It Matters: All dairy products require
temperature control. With MAP technology, Nichrome’s machines can extend shelf
life, limit spoilage and maintain identity in terms of texture and flavour.
These systems are not just food packaging machine options; they are sophisticated
reliable solutions used by dairies all over the country.
