Packed goodness and how it reaches you
You certainly relish the first whiff of your favourite blend of coffee as you rip away at the tedious packaging. Because, just for a moment, you feel exceptional and almost enlivened, as though someone far away had meticulously picked those particular beans specifically for you and expertly created the perfect blend, just to suit your singular preference. You almost forget about the premium you’ve paid for that extraordinary feeling that lasts only a few seconds. But have you wondered who protects that memorable fragrance and guarantees that it reaches you unsullied? Or how much research and engineering skill goes into ensuring that the special spice, that is so essential to your closely guarded recipe of chicken curry, smells exactly the way you like it when you open the packet?
The answer to that would be the packaging machine manufacturers who spend a considerable amount of their R&D budget to ensure that packed perishables retain their aroma, taste and freshness till they reach the end user. They tirelessly look for innovative packaging solutions and devise what they call powder filling machines and powder packaging machines that help manufacturers of an extensive range of powdered and free-flowing granulated products fill up and seal little packets of powdered joy, ready to be shipped across the world.
Powder filling machines and powder packaging machines are vastly different from the machines used to fill and pack other types of products, like those in solid, paste or liquid form. In fact, with the advancement in automated technology, powder filling and packaging machines can be specifically calibrated to suit the exact requirements of the concerned product. Packaging machine manufacturers are now able to distinctively formulate integrated packaging solutions in the form of precision machinery that caters to the very specific and individualistic requirements of manufacturers of all sorts of powders. For instance, would you have guessed that tea packaging machines are quite different from coffee packaging machines?
But why would someone invest so heavily in R&D and automated technology just to make sure that a packet of ginger-powder smells exactly the way the manufacturer intended it to when the packet is opened by the chef? Obviously, automatic filling machines and automatic packaging machines have a lot to do with the elimination manual labour from the filling and packaging process. This, not only considerably reduces the time taken to fill up and seal each packet or sachet, greatly increasing the efficiency of the entire production process, but is also relatively error-free and accounts for far less wastage of the product. Hence, most of the products you come across on your super-market shelves are machine filled and packaged in order to achieve greater accuracy and consistency across product-batches, thereby creating a higher brand value; because packaging machine manufacturers know that every time you pick up a sambar packet of a specific brand you are expecting the same taste, aroma and texture, as well as quantity and quality.
Hence, I rest my case for automatic filling and packaging machines, knowing that the next time you open a carton of juice or a sachet of fruity shampoo, you will surely think about the packaging machine manufacturers, like Nichrome, that come up with innovative packaging solutions to help retain that freshness or that fragrance you truly relish.
