Filling Systems for Fulfilling Packaging

 

Across industries around the globe, automatic packaging machines have been on an exponential growth path. The major reasons for this are their speed, accessibility and ease of use as well as the superior appeal of the packaging.

The filling system is a critical element of both vertical form-fill-seal machines and horizontal form-fill-seal machines. This is a component that is responsible for the accurate measurement and release of the specified quantity of the product that is to be filled in each pouch. The choice of filler is made on the basis of the product that has to be packed. Some common filling systems include the cup filler, auger filler, linear weigh filler, combination weigh filler, piston filler among others.

Being the leading provider of integrated packaging solutions, and a renowned packaging machine manufacturer, Nichrome brings to you a plethora of filling systems for diverse applications in the food, pharma and non-food segments. The filling systems are selected on the basis of the product that needs to be packed. Whether it is liquid packaging, grain packaging, snack packaging, oil packaging, sugar packaging or ready-to-eat food packaging - different products will need different kinds of filling systems.

There are primarily two basic criteria used by packagers use to determine the right filling system for their particular application: 

Criteria for Choosing a Filler 

Level of automation: Filling systems are designed to be integrated with automated packaging systems. They can also be configured to operate as single, semi-automatic machines, for eg, by integrating the filler with capping machinery. 

To pinpoint the level of automation required for your filling system, it is important to determine the packaging rate and capacity you will require. In case of higher production levels, it may be necessary to use something like an eight-headed automatic filling machine with the option of adding additional heads in the future.

Filling process: The filling process is determined by the distinctive traits of the packaged product. A milk filling machine and a powder filling machine will need different configurations and designs. Same goes for an automatic sugar filling machine and edible oil filling machine - they will all need different kinds of fillers to operate.

For instance, gravity fillers are apt for thin and free-flowing products. Denser, viscous products cannot work just on the basis of gravity, and hence a piston filler or pump filling machine needs to be used instead.

Food grains and pulses are a rich source of life-sstaining nutrients. Good sources of carbohydrates, they also provide protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. They are the dietary staples for more than 95% of India's population. Rice is the predominant cereal grain consumed in India, followed by wheat, maize, millet and sorghum.

Although grains are annual crops, they are consumed throughout the year. In general, grains are characterised by good storage stability, however they do get affected by high humidity, attack by pests, rodents, insects, etc., and physiological factors such as respiration and consequent heat build-up in the grains.

Hence, proper and safe storage methods need to be adopted till the grains are consumed. Proper packaging processes and packaging materials can help to achieve satisfactory storage.

Usually, before bulk packaging and storage, grain manufacturers/marketers fumigate their grains to diminish microbial growth and increase shelf life.

Packaging of grains and pulses must provide protection against 4 types of risks:

1. Biological - insects, rodents, micro-organisms, etc.

2. Physical -temperature, humidity and losses caused by improper sealing/seaming of the bag.

3. Chemical - moisture and oxygen

4. Physiological - respiration and heating of the product

CONSIDERATIONS FOR GRAINS AND PULSES PACKAGING

To protect the products and retard deterioration, grains need to be packed in functional packaging with the following qualities:

1. Ability to protect the contents from spoilage and pilferage

2. Offer protection against environmental conditions - barrier against moisture

3. Be insect-resistant to prevent insect infestation and insect damage

4. Offer protection against micro-organisms - provide oxygen barrier to prevent their growth

5. Strength to withstand transportation, handling and storage

6. Be economical, easily available and disposable

7. Conform to food laws & regulations

8. Assist in selling with attractive graphics for retail appeal

GRAIN PACKAGING WITH NICHROME

Food grains are a rich source of life-sustaining nutrients. Excellent carbohydrate sources, they also provide protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. In India, rice is the predominant dietary staple, followed by wheat, maize, millet and sorghum.

Although grains/cereals are annual crops, their consumption is throughout the year. This means that storage methods and packaging play an important role in storage stability. Qualitative and quantitative losses due to insects & rodents, pilferage, microbial spoilage, high humidity, heat - all these factors adversely affect food grains.

While appropriate bulk packaging is critical for storage, retail packaging is key to successful marketing. It goes beyond visual appeal, convenience and accuracy in unit quantity, and ease of opening. The contents of the bag have to be protected against contamination, infestation, moisture and oxygen. Moreover, as bulk density of these products is high, packaging material needs to have good impact strength, tensile strength and puncture resistance for working on FFS machines.

For up to 10Kg unit packs, LDPE and LLDPE are the most commonly used materials. To protect special varieties like basmati rice and flours from flavour loss and rancidity, flavour barrier materials such as reverse printed polyester laminated to LDPE, and oxygen barrier film are used. Technologies such as CO₂ flush packaging and vacuum packaging also help to extend shelf life.
