Food grains are a rich source of life-sustaining nutrients.\nExcellent carbohydrate sources, they also provide protein, fats, vitamins and\nminerals. In India, rice is the predominant dietary staple, followed by wheat,\nmaize, millet and sorghum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although grains\/cereals are annual crops, their consumption\nis throughout the year. This means that storage methods and packaging play an\nimportant role in storage stability. Qualitative and quantitative losses due to\ninsects & rodents, pilferage, microbial spoilage, high humidity, heat – all\nthese factors adversely affect food grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While appropriate bulk\npackaging<\/strong> is critical for storage, retail\npackaging<\/strong> is key to successful marketing. It goes beyond visual appeal,\nconvenience and accuracy in unit quantity, and ease of opening. The contents of\nthe bag have to be protected against contamination, infestation, moisture and\noxygen. Moreover, as bulk density of these products is high, packaging material\nneeds to have good impact strength, tensile strength and puncture resistance\nfor working on FFS machines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For up to 10Kg unit packs, LDPE and LLDPE are the most commonly used materials. To protect special varieties like basmati rice and flours from flavour loss and rancidity, flavour barrier materials such as reverse printed polyester laminated to LDPE, and oxygen barrier film are used. Technologies such as CO2<\/sub> flush packaging and vacuum packaging<\/strong> also help to extend shelf life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nichrome Grain\nPackaging Solutions<\/strong> Excel 400 Plus\nIntelligent Electronic Weigh Filler\/Cup Filler:<\/strong> A VFFS packaging\nmachine for grains, pulses, sugar, seeds, whole spices and tea, Excel 400 packs\npouches of up to 10 kgs at 80 packs per minute.
