The highlight for Pune-based Nichrome Packaging Solutions at the PackEx Republic of india 2014 was its horizontal class fill seal press model T170 with spout zipper. The press was formally unveiled at interpack earlier this twelvemonth where it was displayed with standipack and attachment attachment. This item version of the T170 was displayed for the first time at PackEx. The T170 press has been fabricated at Nichrome'due south Pune institute in technical collaboration with Spain's Totpack. The press has an output rate of 45 packs a minute with 3 side seal and four side seal pouch formats. T170 is a PLC-based press with touchscreen interface and has the facility to offer single or perforated chain of pouches.

The press has had a very encouraging response, said Mrunal Joshi, executive managing director of Nichrome. Likewise nowadays at the visitor stand up was Nichrome's managing director Hemant Ogale who said that the HFFS printing has been made with European knowhow only keeping in mind Indian aesthetics and requirements. There are lot of packaging applications that are unique to Republic of india. Using Totpack'southward expertise we have fabricated a press with the Indian market in mind, Ogale stated.

Although non on display at the issue, another newly launched press that Nichrome was promoting at PackEx was its pick fill seal (PFS) press for ready-to-consume (RTE) foods. The press enables ii or iii dissimilar fillers to manipulate multiple types of ingredients in the same pouch. It has multiple filler options like visco filler, servo auger filler, volumetric cup filler, multi-head weighers, indexing type bucket conveyor, and more.

The specially designed RTE filler tin can dose Indian curry-based products without damaging the food particles. These RTE nutrient pouches packed on Nichrome PFS can be afterwards subjected to a retort process for long shelf-life, Joshi said. Delving into the company's plans for the near future, Ogale said that exports would be a segment where Nichrome is likely to put a lot of focus going forward. Currently, exports make up nearly 20% of the business and Ogale wants to expand information technology further. African markets take been an area of force for the company but in recent years Russian federation and Central Europe have not been good locations for Nichrome. The recent turmoil in Ukraine, which was a vivid spot for Nichrome in the Central European region, has non helped either. Plans are also afoot to offer post packaging solutions by tying upwards with another company. “By providing post packaging solutions we want to help customers reduce manual intervention equally much as possible,  Joshi said.
