Versatility and accuracy in vertical chips packaging by Nichrome

 

Who can resist crisp potato chips? We all know once we open a pack, and bite into the first crisp chip, it's hard to stop. Potato chips are addictive; no wonder they account for 70% of the global snack market. The global potato chip market is forecast to grow CAGR 4.40% during the period 2020-2025. (Ref: https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/potato-chips-market)

Crisp equals fresh
Research has shown that the crunch sound that comes when you bite into a chip is an important part of the food's desirability factor. People associate the loudness of the crunch with the freshness of the chips. Without their crispness, chips would no longer be appetising – no matter how great the flavouring.

Preserving the crunch with Nichrome's Excel Vertipack 320

To help marketers pack and preserve that priceless crunch, Nichrome designed Vertipack 320 - India's first vertical pouch packaging machine! A truly versatile innovation from Nichrome, Excel Vertipack 320 is a potato chips packing machine with many advantages:

- Packs a wide range of products: potato chips, dry fruits, snacks, pasta, grains, Indian namkeens, pulses, sugar, powdery products, etc.

- Variety of standup pouches and other formats: standee, centre seal pillow pouch, gusset pouch with D-cut, 3 side seal pouch, Penta Seal pouch, Quad Seal pouch

- Range of compatible fillers for different applications: Multi Head Weigher, Combifiller, EWF, Cup Filler, Servo Auger Filler

- Versatile MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) technology can be tailored to specific foodstuffs with different gases and proportion of gas in the mixture. When modifying the atmosphere inside the pack, heavier inert gases force oxygen out of the package. This results in extended product shelf life, product integrity, protection against discoloration, and for products like chips, a cushion-like buffer against damage (commonly referred to as a “pillow pack”).

With its high speed performance, sturdy design, online check weigher & metal detector, compatibility with multiple fillers, and a host of other features, Excel Vertipack 320 assures you robust performance with unmatched versatility.

Nichrome Partnering for Superior Potato Chips Packaging

Despite growing concerns about the ‘healthiness’ of fried foods, and the negative connotations of the word potato (‘couch potato’) – potato chips continue to hog a large percentage of the savoury snacks market.

The busy urban lifestyle, growing income levels and the sheer convenience and handiness of available snack packs are increasing the average Indian’s tendency to snack frequently through the day.

Last year’s study by global researcher Euro monitor estimated India’s salty snack market to be valued at more than $2 billion (Rs 17,000 core), and expects it to surpass sales of nearly $5 billion (Rs 35,801 core) by 2020. Earlier, a 2014 report by ratings agency Crisil had also stated that Indian packaged food firms could grow twice as fast as their multinational rivals such as PepsiCo by 2020 in this segment.

To differentiate itself in the crowded market, Lay’s had launched international flavors such as French Salt & Cracked Pepper, Chile Lemon, Caribbean Hot & Sweet Chili and Spanish Tomato, but these received a lukewarm response from Indian consumers. Meanwhile, homegrown companies like Haldirams, known for their “Aloo Bhujia” and “Bhujia Sev”, and Balaji, known for its “farsan”, have become household names by catering to the Indian palate. "We began our company by selling ‘desi farsan’ nearly three decades ago but consumers gradually moved to products such as wafers. Now, they still want chips but with Indian masala," said Chandu Virani, promoter of Balaji Wafers in a quote to Economic Times.

Moreover, "domestic manufacturers are increasing their distribution and penetration into rural India and have launched smaller packs at lower price points," Euro monitor said in a recent report.

Catering to this booming potato chips market is Nichrome, a leading potato chips packaging machine manufacturer in India. Nichrome’s automatic packaging machines maintain hygiene and freshness all through the supply chain, even in rural and remote areas.

Nichrome was the first snacks packaging machine manufacturer to innovate India’s first indigenous counter bagger ‘Snack pack’. Nichrome continuously innovates and adapts technology to cater to the growing and diverse needs of the snacks industry. Nichrome’s Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Snack pack Sprint 250 Continuous is a high-speed potato chips packing machine solution that packs 150 CSPP packs per minute, either single or in a chain of pouches. Snack pack’s gas-filled pouches protect the inherent fragility and odd shapes of potato chips & snack foods into account while ensuring a highly cost-efficient packaging process.
