subject: Innovative Industrial Packaging Techniques [print this page] Packaging is a blend of science, art and technology. Its basic function is to protect products for storage,distribution,sale and use. It also refers to the process of evaluation,design and production of packages. It is nothing but a coordinated system. The industry that caters to machine requirements of 'package production' is not that old. Indian industry by large large has been dependant on imports and has also constrained the level of technology. This has infact led to the growth of packaging industry.
One such innovative industrial technique is Fluid Bed Dryer which is used for cooling, drying and coating of particulate materials. It is ideal for wide range of heat sensitive as non-sensitive products. Number of unifrom processing conditions are also achieved through this.
Machinery packaging has direct role in every industry which starts from the basic material manufacturer to to package form converter to package decorator to product packer that carry out some anciallry functions like labeling,capping,coding and marking off. Even food processing forms the largest packaging machinery industry. It is predicted that it will account for 43% of the gloabl sector. If this prediction turns out to be true then this sector is all set for a double bonanza. India is one of the favorable destination for the players of maufacturing industry.
Starting with a simple Rotary Bottle Washer machine which is also known as bottle washer. This is used to wash glass bottles,pet bottles etc. It is applicable in food and pharmaceutical industry. Such machines are used in number of industries that require fast and efficient washing. Added to all these sterlization and dying of bottles is also done.
Filter press is also known as plate and fram fliter press. This describes the styles of filters which were developed in 19th century with clay. It is used in wide range of applications like municipal waste and water treatment,pigment and dyes,edible oils including food and beverage industry. This the reason why filter press suppliers are so important in these industries.
It is true that pharmaceutical industries and food processing units are some of the top players and are on growth trajectory. Today the organised retail market is growing and the government is working out on plan to allow FDI in multi brand retail sector. All this due to growing sector of middle class, rising concern about health and competition from west world. All these prove as boosters for packaging machinery industry in India. Today even automatic filling machines are used widely in industrial packaging industry. This is unique machine which is exclusively used to laminate plastic tubes. It is used fro filling,sealing, crimping, bact coding ejecting in one stroke and number of other industrial uses.
