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.
