Nichrome’s Filling Systems: Enhancing efficiency and versatility of your packaging machine

Today, across industries and geographies, automatic pouch packaging machines are growing in use and popularity. The reasons are obvious: speed, simplicity, ease of use – and superior aesthetics of the finished package.

The filling system or filler is a crucial component of the form-fill-seal machine, both vertical and horizontal. The apparatus is responsible for the correct measurement and discharge of accurate quantities of the product to be filled in each premade pouch. Based on the type of product to be packed, fillers are decided. Some of the typical filling systems include cup filler, auger filler, linear weigh filler, combination weigh filler, piston filler, etc.

As India’s leading provider of integrated packaging solutions, and proven packaging machine manufacturer, Nichrome offers a range of filling systems for a wide range of Food, Pharma and other products. Whether you are investing in a new VFFS packaging machine; looking to upgrade an old one or want to use your current automated packaging machine for packing new products, it’s worth taking a look at Nichrome’s innovative filling systems.
