Nichrome Innovates RLO to Reduce use of Plastic save the Environment

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!

For forward looking manufacturers who are concerned about reducing their environment footprint and enhancing sustainability of their operations, Nichrome’s RLO is a must-have. For more details, contact

Nichrome Milk Pouch Crating System Multiple Benefits for the Milk Industry

Nichrome VFFS Machines - Stickpack

Nichrome is well known as a pioneer and leader in automatic milk packaging machines. Since 1977 when Nichrome developed India's first indigenous milk packaging machine to partner with the Govt. of India's White Revolution, Nichrome has continued to innovate and upgrade solutions for the dairy industry.

To complement their high-speed milk pouch packaging solutions, Nichrome offers an automatic Milk Pouch Crating System. As flexible milk pouches are not self-supporting, they generally need secondary packaging. Also, as pouches are packed at high speeds by Nichrome's Filpack Servo range of milk packaging machines, lifting them manually in crates for transportation is not only slow, but could be inaccurate too.

The Automatic Milk Pouch Crating System offers a solution to count & fill pouches in crates in synchronization with high speed Filpack Servo 12 k machines. The system can be customized as per customer layout and number of machines, provides total end of line solution from crate washing center to cold storage, and helps to maintain quality and food safety standard as well as keep count of the number of pouches and crates.

• Provides hygienic and modern secondary packing process
• Improves productivity
• Independent of speed of machines / number of heads
• Independent of volume of pouches
• Each crate is filled with correct pouch count
•  has optional features of data logging and online crate weighing
• The entire production data can be logged and saved on Cloud or central server system

The system also offers an optional Online Leak Detection Mechanism whereby each pouch from the pouch take up conveyor passes through a pressing conveyor which removes excess air from leakage pouch through which the operator can easily differentiate leaky pouches.

Furthermore, the Crating System can be customized as per requirements and available space – so customers get a secondary packaging solution tailored for optimization of space, performance and resources.
