Tangy, Sweet, Salty & Spicy - Add a Taste of India to Your Snack Food Line with Namkeen Snacks

What does namkeen mean? Namkeen is of course salty, but Indian snacks have evolved and gone beyond than just being salty. They deliver a host of flavours to your palate, making it one of the most versatile and extravagant types of snacks. 

 What’s more astonishing is the fact that these snacks are made from healthy ingredients like pulses, lentils, and nuts. They all are high in protein, fibre, calcium, and a host of other nutrients. Yes, these products deliver taste and health. But these are just a few of the many reasons to add them to your range of products. Here are some more reasons why you need to sell these snacks:

 Growing popularity of Indian Food - Indian food is seeing one of its most popular phases in the world. With so many Indian migrants living in other countries and a more globalised media, Indian food is getting more exposure. It is being widely covered in the mainstream media and the internet-based independent media. 

 Rising Veganism - As the world wakes up to the benefits of having a plant-based diet, the popularity of Indian snacks is only going to grow. Indians consume a lot of food that is vegan in nature i.e., made without any animal products and gluten. This includes many snacks as well and snack food companies can capitalise on this. 

 It’s Just Tastier - With all due respect to other cultures and cuisines, no other cuisine in the world makes better use of spices. Many people all over the world are realising the importance of spices and are adding them to their cuisines. Such people will also easily become patrons of Indian namkeen snacks. 

 Popular Namkeen Snacks in India 

 The following Indian snacks have a high chance of becoming popular in Western and Eastern countries: 

 Moong Dal - Moong dal is a pulse that is quite popular all over the world. In India, moong dal is fried and mixed with salt and spices to make a delicious yet healthy snack to munch on at any time. 

 Sev Bhujia - Lentil flour is fried in the shape of ultra-thin noodles and then broken and mixed with a variety of spices and salt. This is another popular snack that you’ll find in most Indian homes. 

 Boondi - Made from chickpea flour that is fried in the shape of tiny, airy balls, boondi is used as a snack, as an ingredient in salad, and even as a topping. They are crunchy and delicious.

Nichrome displays rotary tray MAP sealing machine at IIDE 2022 Mumbai

Pune-based packaging machinery manufacturer Nichrome demonstrated its rotary tray sealing machine at the India International Dairy Expo 2022 held from 13-15 April at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. The machine enables the use of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and is primarily meant for packaging perishable items. The MAP technology enhances the shelf life of a variety of perishable food items including Indian milk-based sweets thus decreasing spoilage and waste for brand owners, retailers and consumers.

“Our rotary tray sealing machine helps brand owners to enhance the shelf life of products such as sweets. Not only does it enhance the shelf life of food products but the packaging also looks very good compared to the conventional sweet packaging. Our machine currently is mostly used for packaging sweets but it can also be used to pack perishable food items items such as kebabs, chopped vegetables and fruit, raw and processed meats, fish, frozen food, namkeens, and ready-to-eat meals such as biryani,” an official from Nichrome told Packaging South Asia.

The Nichrome rotary tray sealing machine can pack 16 trays of 250 grams each per minute or about 4 kilograms of sweets per minute. The packed products have a shelf life of about one month but with preservatives, it can go up to two to three months.

“The longer shelf life means brand owners can expand their geographical reach. A dairy based in Jalgaon can easily export sweets to markets such as the US and the EU. We have seen many tier 1 and tier 2 dairies opt for our machine. Chitale Dairy, based in Pune, is using our rotary tray sealing machine,” the official said.

MAP technology is gaining traction

According to Nichrome, MAP technology is gaining traction in Indian food packaging. MAP is becoming more and more popular for preserving the freshness and extending the storage and shelf life of fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, dairy products, and other perishable food products.

The modification process generally lowers the amount of oxygen in the headspace of the package. The oxygen can be replaced with nitrogen, a comparatively inert gas, or carbon dioxide. A stable atmosphere of gases inside the packaging can be achieved using active techniques, such as gas flushing and compensated vacuum, or passively by designing breathable films.

“We see a demand for MAP technology in the food packaging industry to grow stronger going forward – given the focus on hygiene, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic,” the official concluded.

INTRO TO FORM-FILL-SEAL PACKAGING WITH NICHROME

Almost every industry today relies on form fill seal (FFS) packaging machines. And why not? These pouch packaging machines are fast, accurate,economical and versatile solutions that automatically boost efficiency and profitability.

Greater speed and versatility are the major benefits of FFS systems. For example, snack producers demand systems that have the versatility to package different products and provide fast changeover between many different packaging formats.

Let us walk you through form fill seal packaging machines, and discuss how they work.

What are form fill seal packaging machines?

As the name suggests, form fill seal packaging machines are automatic packaging machines that form the package, fill it with a wet or dry product, and sealit closed. They mainly use flexible film to form the primary packaging such as a pouch or bag, but aseptic cartons are also produced with FFS technology.

Form fill seal packaging machines use a reel of flexible material (paper, film or laminates of paper/film/foil) andeither form it into a tube and then seal and fill it at regular intervals, or fold it lengthwise andseal it at right angles to the fold to form a series of pockets which are filled and closed.

Types of FFS packaging machines?

FFS machines are broadlyof two types:

1. Vertical form fill seal machines(VFFS), in which the material is formed into a circular section tube over a forming collar

2. Horizontal form fill seal machines(HFFS), in which the material is formed into a rectangular section tube through a forming box. HFFS also cover horizontal versions of sachet packing machines, blister pack machines, four side seal machines and thermoform fill and seal machines.

Advantages of FFS Technology

•        High speed and consistent packing rate

•        Economical as the bags made are less expensive than pre-made bags

•        Provides increased production rate so you can reduce number of shifts

•        Easy and quick to clean-out between production batches

•        Online film printing provides readable bar code and product info

•        Fewer moving parts - especially in VFFS

Disadvantages of FFS Technology

•        Cannot handle paper

•        Not economical for short production runs

•        Cannot handle multi-ply packaging materials

•        Cannot remove trapped air quickly

•        Not economical for low density, aerated powders such as wheat flour, talcum powder, whey powder at medium speeds

Applications of FFS packaging machines

The applications of FFS packaging machines are endless. Almost any product that can be packed and marketed in flexible pouches can be packaged by such machines. FFS machines can be used to pack a whole gamut of food, pharm and other products ranging from:

•        grains (such as rice, pulses, sugar) to granulates (such as detergent,                   fertilizers)

•        snacks (such as chips, dry fruits, namkeen) to ready-to-eat foods

•        bulk goods (such as nuts and cookies to bolts and screws)

•        powders (such as spice powders, milk powder, ground coffee,                               nutraceuticals)

•        liquids (such as water, milk, juice, liquor) to viscous (such as edible oil,                  ghee, ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing, bath gel)

Pouch/Bag formats with FFS technology

Versatility to form and fill a variety of container formats is a strong point of FFS technology.  The options include:

•        Pillow pouch

•        3 side seal and 4 side seal pouches

•        Gusset pouch

•        Pentaseal pouch

•        Sachet &stickpack

•        Standup pouch (with zipper/spout/euro slot/handle, etc.)

•        Doypack

•        Thermoform trays

•        Cartons

How an aspiring entrepreneur made his mark and become India’s ‘Water Hero’

When as a sixteen-year-old boy from Chandrapur, Maharashtra, Vedant Goel decided to become a young entrepreneur, little did he know the journey he was about to embark on? Born in an Agarwal community, Vedant Goel had his goals set from a very young age. He was not interested in jobs and working for other people. Brought up in a close-knit community of businessmen and women, Goel grew up to have a penchant for entrepreneurship. At the tender age of sixteen, he decided to open a start-up.

Called ‘Har Aadmi Online’, Goel’s company intended to provide internet access to everyone – “…from a paan shop to a 5-star hotel”. The idea was quite simple but for a young boy to be sensitive enough to the needs of the world and to take on this role, it was inspirational. Goel had proved himself to be a visionary already. The plan was to create a package of 3,333 rupees and use it to build a website. This money was used to handle everything from web design, content management to the logo design.

The company was fortunate enough to attract more than 500 customers in the first six to seven months of operation. However, unforeseen issues started arising. The management was weak and unstable. No one was skilled enough to manage all aspects of the company or hire a technical team. No sooner did that happen than the company was forced to shut down.

For better or for worse

Vedant Goel was not one to lose hope or get discouraged in the face of failure. He had come to Pune from a small town to complete his education. He graduated from the esteemed Sir Parashurambhau College in Pune, Maharashtra. He attributes his drive and spirit to his parents who supported him at every turn and guided him through the crossroads.

Goel decided to open another company with a fresh idea. The purpose of ‘Start-up Café’ was to help start-ups and provide mentorship to young entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the company had to be closed. Undeterred, Goel went for another venture; this time in the field of distribution. ‘Ekveda Superfoods’ was a supplier for dry fruits in Pune. But the young businessman was set up for failure. He tried again. He created his own brand of snacks called Taraji Namkeen and began manufacturing. But as fate would have it, the name didn’t hold.

After a series of failures and disappointments, Goel paused and contemplated what was leading to these results. Finding the answer, he set a company again. Neo Mega Steel LLP soared the sky with wide-open wings; and for once, the flight did not result in a crash landing.

Successful Venture

Goel’s company is one of the largest suppliers of raw materials in India. The company deals in the supply of raw materials to automobile component manufacturers that are used in JCBs, boiler parts, etc. The clientele includes a staggering 400 major companies. The company is not just a major distributor in the city of Pune but has also reached the rest of Maharashtra and the states of Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Gujarat. Some of the new projects include supply to the ongoing project of the Pune Metro and iron for the bogeys for the Indian Railways.

At a young age of 25 years, Goel is the Managing Director of his own company and the board member of one Alphalogic Techsys Limited, the first company of India of its kind to be listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange.

“What Goes Around Comes Back Around”

“My aspiration is to do something great,” Goel said in his interview with Machine Maker. Just building a successful business from scratch was not the only ambition that Goel had nurtured. In his hometown, which is considered one of the most backward towns in Maharashtra, the lack of water is a perennial problem. In order to relieve the people somewhat, Goel devised a unique idea.

The students are asked to empty their bottles in the drums before heading home. This water is then used to clean the schools, water the plants, clean the buses, etc. More than 50 schools in Chandrapur now use this technique to save and reuse water that would otherwise have been discarded. Almost 10,000 liters of water are saved every day in the town, which makes it almost 3,00,000 liter a month.

The children have fondly named him ‘Water Dada’, News18 named him ‘Jal Rakshak’ and the Government of India initiative for water conservation has named him the ‘Water Hero’.

Goel did not only help save precious water but also decided to educate children on the importance of dental health. “Countries like the US and the UK have placed importance on the health of people but we don’t see that in India”, he says, disappointed. In order to change that, he decided to campaign in schools with the tag ‘My Teeth’ and make the students aware of dental health. He would distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste, and water to them afterward.

Focus on Freshness and Fragility - Snacks Packaging by Nichrome

The retail snack industry is booming! And evolving everyday as new products get introduced, new variants get innovated and new consumer preferences get fulfilled.

One thing across the board, for all snacks is the packaging — and the expectations from it. Snack packaging must fulfill 4 vital functions. It must preserve the snack in its original form, flavor and freshness. After all, the real enjoyment of snacking comes from its crunch, its crispiness. So the packaging should help to preserve the crunch of the contents.

Safe handling is another vital function. India has a huge variety of snacks and namkeen, each of a different shape and fragility. Packaging must protect and maintain the inherent fragility and odd shape of the snack — whether it is a thin potato chip or a 3D snack or puffed snack.

Packaging must also ensure the product reaches the end-consumer intact. Indian snacks have to travel miles, across states and even across oceans to reach the consumer. Modern packaging must protect your snack products throughout the shipping process, right from factory to retail shelf.

On the shelf, packaging must achieve the ultimate objective: sell the product and build your brand. Your product packaging must sell your products by attracting and motivating customers to buy your products! Almost up to 50% of your product sale is completely dependent on the type and quality of your packaging!

Hence, selecting a snack packaging format and snacks packaging machine must be thought out carefully. You need a renowned snacks packaging machines manufacturer to ensure the right kind of packaging that will protect your products from any type of damage while preserving the crunch and taste.
