Elevate Your Grain Packaging Game: Discover Nichrome’s Innovative Solutions

Cereals, the delightful fruits of domestically cultivated grasses, are essential players in the global food scene. Key players include wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice, maize, sorghum, and millets. These staples have fed civilizations since prehistoric times, and their production, storage, and utilization have been pivotal in shaping modern society. With a growing range of cereal-based products on the market, informed consumers are constantly on the lookout for quality offerings.

Each year, over two billion tonnes of grains are produced worldwide, stored at various points along the grain distribution chain—from producer to consumer. These grains are packed into defined Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) like bags, silos, warehouses, containers, and even stacks on the ground, ensuring they maintain their quality and flavor.

Why Store Grains?

Grains need proper storage for several reasons:

Processing is often done away from production sites

Seasonal production requires year-round availability

Emergency reserves are crucial during crises like famines

Seeds must be stored for the next planting season

Enhanced Shelf Life and Preservation Techniques in Grain and Pulses Packaging

Grains and pulses are staple food items worldwide, making their preservation and packaging essential for maintaining quality and extending shelf life. With the advent of automatic packaging machines, the industry has seen significant improvements in how these products are stored and distributed. Let us explore how our state-of-the-art machines, such as the automatic packaging machine, grain filling machine, sachet filling machine are revolutionizing grain and pulse packaging.

Importance of Effective Packaging

It is important to deliver your products with the right packaging. It plays a crucial role in preserving the freshness, nutritional value, and overall quality of grains and pulses. But it also keeps the trust of your consumers. A poor packaging can lead to moisture ingress, pest infestation, and oxidation, resulting in spoilage and wastage of the valuable product. To combat these challenges, we design new age packaging machines that ensure the right packaging and here is how our machines make the difference.

How Nichrome’s grain packaging machines make a difference

1. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Our machines are high end-tech machines that ensure Modified Atmosphere Packaging that involves altering the atmospheric composition inside the packaging to extend the shelf life of your products. By reducing oxygen levels and increasing nitrogen or carbon dioxide, MAP technology inhibits the growth of aerobic bacteria and fungi, preserving the quality of grains and pulses.

2. Vacuum Packaging

Vacuum packaging removes air from the package before sealing, creating a vacuum that significantly reduces the risk of oxidation and spoilage. This technique is particularly effective for extending the shelf life of pulses and high-fat grains prone to rancidity.

3. High-Barrier Films

High-barrier films are specialized materials designed to prevent moisture, oxygen, and light from penetrating the packaging. Our machines use best quality films which are essential for protecting grains and pulses from environmental factors that can degrade their quality.

4. Sealing and Lamination

Advanced sealing and laminating technologies ensure that packaging is airtight and durable. These techniques prevent contamination and enhance the overall integrity of the packaging.

[builtfyrdetough]

So, I think I’ve figured out Lud’s actual plan here, and why he’s refusing to explain why he’s so sure Predathos poses no threat to mortal life.

Let’s assume for a moment that the vision given to BHs by Evontra’vir is 100% confirmation that if Big Pred is released, he will chase the gods to whatever realm they flee too and not linger in Exandria. So what happens next? A glorious rebirth of the Age of Arcanum and the rule of the magocracy, unhindered by the gods? Great! And what did a certain mage at the height of her power prove was possible during the previous Age of Arcanum? That a mortal could ascend to godhood!

So you know that with the outer planes emptied of divine figures, one or several of these hubristic bitches are going to attempt the Ritual of Seeding again, to take up the now-empty divine portfolios. And it is only a matter of time before there is a new but growing pantheon, with no divine gate to restrain them, and no reason to believe they wouldn’t try to protect their position just as the old gods did. In order to discourage other mortals from even attempting this, Predathos would need to remain a known threat in some form, a monster lurking outside the gates waiting for some overly ambitious wizard to poke their head too far out and get got.

So what is Lud’s master plan? He’s not answering the question of “how do you know Predathos won’t eat us all” because he doesn’t know and it doesn’t matter, because Big Pred isn’t going to make it that far after he’s released. We know Lud’s unnaturally long lifespan comes from his practice of sucking up the life essence of other beings. BHs currently possesses the older, abandoned prototype of the machine he used to do this. We know he is still doing this, because of Astrid’s comment about the itch on the back of his neck and how secretive he is about it.

So he’s going to find his vessel—Liliana, Imogen, Fearne, whoever else he can convince, and force Predathos’s essence into a nice, neat little humanoid-sized package. He’s going to wait for them to emerge on the other side of the proto-divine gate surrounding Ruidus. And then he’s going to activate Soul Funnel 2.0, and he is going to BECOME Predathos. He is going to eat the thing that eats gods. Then the rest of the world can become the godless utopia he thinks he is bringing, and he can be the eternal entity that protects and enforces the new status quo.

It’s not a good plan by any means. He’s assuming he can control Predathos as if it is a sentient being like a god or a fey, and not a mindless force of pure entropy that unmakes everything it touches, which Downfall seems to indicate it is. But it explains his raw confidence and complete unwillingness to explain himself, and I don’t believe for a moment that he can commune with it, or that he would take the words of the Ruidusborn about its intentions at face value.

Download Link: Sim File Share | MTS Name: Pinecrest Acres Campsite Description: Nestled amidst the whispering pines and overlooking the serene lake, Pinecrest Acres Campsite welcomes nature enthusiasts and weary travelers alike. Established decades ago, this idyllic spot has evolved into a haven for campers seeking solace in the embrace of the great outdoors. Offering free limited tents for an authentic camping experience, a well-stocked lake for fishing enthusiasts, outdoor chess for strategic minds, a crackling fire pit to gather around during chilly evenings and a small kitchen area with grills for communal feasts, Pinecrest Acres Campsite invites you to unwind and connect with nature. Escape the hustle and bustle and discover the tranquility of this timeless retreat! Price: 33,493 Lot Size: 30x30 Version: 1.42 Store Content: None CC Used: 2 (Coffee Machine and the base needed for the Coffee Machine by ATS3) Packs Needed: The Sims 3, World Adventures File Type: Package

I created this campsite so my Sims can experience camping in their home world and catch a few fish/beetles/butterflies from the World Adventures expansion pack without the need to travel to vacation destinations. I have set this lot as a Small Park to avoid an influx of Sims visiting and placed only three Sim Scouts' Classic Camper tents ready to be used. The tents are spread out so that Sims can relax privately but I did place an outdoor fire pit as well as create a communal kitchen area for Sims to mingle with fellow campers.

This lot has been play-tested and I've used it in all my saved games. Let me know if you experience any problems on your end. Click on the link below for more information on this lot.

I made this exclusively for the World Adventures expansion pack and it is required for the tents to show up. Only 2 CCs were used on this lot, both of which are Donators’ gifts, exclusive downloads for ATS3 donors/Patreons. These are not included on the download but if you are interested, you can visit ATS3 site here.

You can set this lot as a Big Park if you'd like to populate it with Sims but the space is limited to 30x30 and there is only a limited number of tents so only a few sims can use it.

📣Please be aware that there are spawners used on this lot thus I would advise to not rotate the Small Park Lot to avoid duplicate spawners and remove spawners when the lot is deleted due to them remaining on the empty lot. To check and remove spawners, enable “testingcheatsenabled true” and “buydebug on” after.

Spawners:

Butterfly: China (Mix), Egypt (Mix), France (Glowy)

Beetle: Rainbow, Trilobite, Spotted, China (Assassin)

Seed: Rare 1 and 3

Fish: China Uncommon, Egypt River Common

Any groceries you've been getting into lately?

I am still super into bread with cream cheese and godly amounts of honey - acacia honey to be precise. I swear i have consumed more honey in the last three months than in the last 10 years. Add pomegranate seeds on top if you're feeling extra decadent What cleaning product do you swear by? Vinegar. Smells disgusting but is great to decalcify basically anything. Also those sheets you put in the washing machine instead of liquid detergent? Fantastic invention, no more mess with sticky bottles or powder going everythere. Last concert you attended? Oh dear. Really not my cuppa tea if I'm honest - too chaotic and crowded and (cw unpopular opinion following) I usually prefer studio recordings to live music. Probably some small Irish Folk band. Or my mom, when she sang Joseph in Händel's Joseph and his Brethren (had to enter the catholic church for that D:)

Do you still listen to the same music you listened to in high school? Pretty much, yes! Tori Amos, German band Wir sind Helden which was popular back then, oldschool singer songwriter Reinhard Mey, Regina Spektor and Kimya Dawson. Still my faves🥰

What kind of stuff do you keep on the door of your refrigerator?

All bottles. Stuff in tube like mustard. Eggs. Packages of herb butter and similar little add-ons. Thank you for your wellwishes and the asks<3! Enrichment was had!

NICHROME TO GLOW AT GRAINEX INDIA 2023

[lumine-no-hikari]

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #319

...Fwhoof. Sephiroth, I've been on my feet for a total of over 6 hours today. I am tired.

I'm not in bad spirits, though. I haven't fully recovered from the long walk in the woods, methinks; my legs have been just a little bit cranky since. Still, today I went to work. And, naturally, that involves me being on my feet continuously for about 4 hours, constantly moving and doing things.

...I was having some kind of off-day at work, I think. My head felt... sludgy. And everything felt just a little bit scary for reasons I couldn't quite identify. I kept dropping things, and I kept having scattered attention, forgetting stuff in the middle of doing it. It was weird.

With these braces in, I am, unfortunately, generally less inclined to put things into my face, and this includes water, for some reason, even though I'm allowed to drink water with the braces on. I concluded at some point that I must be dehydrated, so when I returned home, I drank some water and felt better within 20 minutes, and that was very good.

Before returning home, though, I had to return all those bottles and cans that I got from BB's and N's house. And so I went to the place with the special machines and... I was a bit too zonked to think to get a picture of the machine. I did take a picture of the receipt, but... there are watermarks all over it that would make it a bit too easy to identify where I'm at.

Anyway, I tried to donate the receipt to the cause of "holiday potluck", which is what I remember being told by the leader of that one team huddle I went to. But when I went to the place where I was supposed to turn it in, the person there didn't know what I was talking about. And that was confusing. I'm hoping to get it sorted out by Monday.

I spent a chunk of time after that picking up various odds and ends for my house. I got some stuff for the baking experiment (not gonna tell you what!), some more deli meats, a few various other odds and ends that I'm too tired to remember, and...!!! A bone-in leg of lamb!!!

...It's not too terribly often that my store has those. And I love preparing it, so I made sure to snatch one up!!! I probably won't be able to cook it for another day or two, but that's fine. I'll still show you how I like to do it, once I get a chance...

I made a lunch when I got home. I used up the rest of the leftover salmon, and, oh!! Some of the box of greens I got from the grocery today, and some onions, and some of the leftover goat cheese, and also some crushed-up Fritos. Topped it all off with some ranch dressing. I filled it out with a bowl of berries (which I also got from the store today!!) and a kombucha...

...You'd certainly be welcome to partake if you were here. I wish I could give you a bowl of such wholesome deliciousness, but alas, a picture is the best I can do...

...

Well. I checked on my tiny pumpkin seedling.

...And as you can see, it is slightly less tiny!!! And a little greener than before!! And the seed is no longer touching the soil!!! Look at it go!!! Sproutin' up from the dirt and makin' it look easy!!!! Fuck yeah!!!!

...I wonder what it'll look like tomorrow...!!!

In any case, the broth in the crockpot smelled amazing, and I decided that it simmered long enough. So I began the process of straining it:

...I know. I know. It looks really gross. But I promise, it smells FANTASTIC, and it's gonna taste fantastic, too, once it's done being seasoned!!

So... I unplugged the crockpot, and waited for it to cool, and got everything all set up...

So one of the things you need to make this work is a wire mesh strainer...

...And a cheesecloth:

...And they come all packaged and folded up like that, but once you unfold them, they look like this...

...They're pretty big. And also pretty flimsy:

...But that's why you fold it up in layers! Folding it up gives the fibers strength while still allowing liquids to easily squish out!

So you plop the folded cheesecloth into the wire mesh strainer, and then you plop your veggie scraps, a little at a time, into the cheesecloth:

...If it's cool enough, you can begin squishing out the water right away, but... it wasn't quite cool enough. The squished-out water was still VERY hot, much to my chagrin. But still, I squished most of the water out of this clump of veggie scraps...

...Bones can't usually be squished, though, so you gotta take those out and set them to the side...

...J got some additional silly pictures, too, because why not, I guess; apparently he likes to say weird things so that I'll make strange faces, haha...

...He also decided to take pictures of the slippers I was wearing, for some reason, hahaha:

Fact of the matter was, though, that the veggie scraps were still a bit too hot to handle. So I decided to scoop them out and just let them sit in the strainer while J and I went to some haunted walk in a historical town some distance from us...

...The scraps will simply drip into the bowl that the wire mesh strainer is over. It's all good. And they'll cool down in the process. They'll be a lot easier to handle tomorrow.

The walk was... nothing really to write home about. It was underwhelming. It was mostly just a history walk, about an hour and a half in length, that they tried to make "spooky" with ghost stories, but... well. Given my influences and weird way of perceiving the world around me... a lot of the places and locations seemed like ordinary Tuesday stuff.

...Like... yes. Supposedly, this or that building has the spooks of dead people chilling in them. And... if so, then... so what? They ain't hurtin' nobody. And if they do start hurtin' somebody, they can be gotten rid of, so like...??? I fail to see the issue. I fail to see what's so scary about them.

One of the stories talked about the ghost of a dead cat rubbing up on people's legs and creeping them out, but like...? I don't think I'd be creeped out. Mostly, I'd just be sad that I can't pet them or leave them snacks in a meaningful way.

...But the company was good! J and I went with my elderly friend P and his sister Jo. We had a lot of interesting conversation about the nature of reality and other related stuff afterwards! We even stopped at a cute little place for gelato and hot chocolate!

...Why yes, Sephiroth; that is a pumpkin spice gelato in the image above.

The hot chocolate can have syrup of various kinds added to it, too:

...Why yes, Sephiroth; this is a bottle of pumpkin pie syrup:

...And yes, I absolutely did add it to my hot chocolate. And I absolutely did get a small cup of pumpkin gelato.

...Want some...?

...You can't even begin to understand what things of mine I'd give up just to be able to give things like this to you.

...

...Well. I'm home now. And by the time we got home, the broth and the scraps were more than cool enough to handle, but... we got back so late that I didn't have time to do anything with them other than put them in the refrigerator. I'll have to finish up tomorrow.

...If I have the energy, that is. It is 12:54am. The lunch with J's tailwheel airplane instructor was rescheduled to today. I gotta get up at 6am.

...Ain't about to let that stop me from writing a letter to you, though.

I do gotta get to bed at this point, though. J and I will likely be out until at least 5 or 6pm. I'll do my best to get nice video and pictures for you. It'll be good!

I love you so much. Please stay safe out there as you do your things, okay?

I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

I've been on a bit of a curry powder kick with my recipes lately I think. curry powder is sooo interesting as a subject of study because of how much potential for localisation there is; the process of creating recipes for different regional blends of curry powder is really making me think about my philosophy with adapting dishes.

like, plenty of home cooks in China & Hong Kong will actually use imported curry powder from India or Malaysia to make Chinese curry, because they're "aiming at" a "foreign" flavor profile that was originally inspired by Indian cuisine (with this image of Indian cuisine being itself a result of colonisation, an innovation aimed at making the ~flavours of India~ more accessible to the English home cook in the 18th and 19th centuries—but Indian companies to-day do export "curry powder" blends to other English-speaking regions that they label "authentic" &c. &c.).

but this wouldn't be very interesting to me! I'm interested in and "aiming at" a specifically Hong Kongese adaptation of curry powder, and therefore I'm going to want to include as many Chinese ingredients as I can find 'attested' in Hong Kongese curry powder recipes (in my research into the spices used in commercial curry powder blends made and packaged in Hong Kong; home cook YouTube videos and interviews with restaurant owners based in Hong Kong; &c.). I'm never ad-libbing (i.e., adding in spices or aromatics that I don't see 'attested' in whatever local blends that I can find a trace of online), and I try to make the proportion of spices that I include in a blend basically adhere to the average of what I see in the recipes I consult (& the commercial blends, which don't list out proportions but do at least have some ingredients listed and organised in order of weight)—

but I still have my own tendencies that I'm interested in indulging (e.g., localised over generic; more over less; pungent over mild), and I'm able to fiddle around with all of those variables to produce a blend that is itself attested nowhere else, though each of its component ingredients can be traced back. so my recipe for Xinjiapo gali fen jumps at all of the 'Chinese' ingredients that Koon Yick Wah Kee includes (Sichuan peppercorns, Chinese black cardamom), but also includes more 'Indian' spices that other recipes include, but their's doesn't (e.g. green cardamom, fenugreek).

(as a side note for anyone who speaks French—on peut constater que the list of ingredients has been machine-translated from Chinese to English and thence to French, based on the fact that "star anise" has been rendered "tenez le primier rôle l'anis". other translation issues: what is listed as "dried parsley" in English [芫茜] is probably actually coriander seeds.)

Tony Stark’s Cheeseburger Bloody Mary

because what sometimes a genius billionaire playboy philanthropists needs a cheese burger and the hair of a dog.

Recipes under the cut:

Bloody Mary:

large handful of ice

100ml vodka

500ml tomato juice

1 tbsp lemon juice, plus 2 slices to serve

few shakes Worcestershire sauce (I used a vegan brand)

few shakes Tabasco

pinch celery salt

pinch black pepper

2 celery sticks

Olives

One mini-cheeseburger

Place the ice in a large jug. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour it straight onto the ice.

Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses.

Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick, skewers of olives (one with the tiny cheese burger) lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.

Cheese Burger:

Mini Hamburger Buns (I baked my own)

sliced cheese

one sliced pickle

Hamburger patty (I used Future Farm Plant Based, but you can use whatever you want, or even make mini patties from scratch)

Use a small glass to cut burger patties into small rounds and grill for a few minutes on one side.  Flip and add 1/4 of a slice of cheese to the top of the patty.  Continue grilling to taste.  

Cut bun in half and add one slice of pickle, patty with cheese, and ketchup.

Mini Buns:

1 (1/4-ounce) package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast or bread machine yeast

1/2 cup water, warm, about 110 F

2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature

1 large egg

3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly

2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

3 cups all-purpose flour

Butter or oil, for greasing the bowl

1 large egg white

1 tablespoon water

1/4 cup sesame seeds

Combine the yeast and warm water in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.

In a small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter together to blend.

Add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture along with the sugar, salt, and flour.

Knead the dough by hand (or using a stand mixer with the dough hook) for 8 to 10 minutes, adding a little more flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your hands, the countertop, or the sides of the bowl. The dough should be smooth and elastic at this point. (do the window pane test - if you can stretch it to the point it’s see through, it’s ready).

Generously grease a large bowl with butter or oil. Gather the dough into a ball and place it into the greased bowl. Turn it over a few times to coat the dough thoroughly.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in bulk.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease the pans.

Punch down and pat the dough into a rectangle.

Use a small glass or egg cup to cut out buns and put on tray 2 inches apart.

Preheat the oven to 375 ° F

 Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water until blended and brush over buns.  Sprinkle on sesame seeds. 

Bake for around 10 minutes.  Keep a close eye on them.  They are very small and cook very quickly and can go from undercooked to burnt very fast.  To check if they’re baked through, tap on the bottom of the bun.  If it sounds hollow it’s done.  Should be golden in color.

Farm manager Joshua Jones stands just outside the grow zone. Every few minutes, a hatch slides open, briefly spilling the pink LED daylight into the white fluorescent factory floor, as a conveyor belt spits out another tray of densely packed, mature lettuce. The tray is then lifted into another machine that reaps the leaves and pours them out onto another conveyor belt. There, a lone worker, gowned and hair-netted, sifts through the linear salad to pull out the few undesirables with a gloved hand.

80 Acres Farms, which launched in 2015, is one of more than 2,000 vertical farms sprouting up across the U.S., part of a $3 billion global industry that is projected to skyrocket to $24 billion by 2029. Along with other vertical farm companies like AeroFarms in Newark, Gotham Greens in Brooklyn, Bowery in New Jersey, and Plenty Unlimited in San Francisco, 80 Acres is pairing LED technology with data and advanced robotics to upend the idea of the traditional open-field farm.

In this controlled, enclosed environment, the process from seed to packaging is automated. There’s no need for pesticides or herbicides. And farming can happen virtually anywhere, from the desert to the frozen tundra to the middle of a swelling urban landscape. The technology is so unbound to the climate that astronauts are using it to grow lettuce, cabbage, mustard, and kale aboard the International Space Station — and some are even eyeing it as a way to jump-start colonies if humans ever leave the Earth.

Have you wonder how a t-shirt is manufactured? Learn about t-shirt manufacturing process

The first t-shirt was manufactured in 1920. There are a huge variety of t-shirts manufactured all around the world starting with different types of neckband such as crew neck, V-neck, scoop neck and tank top. There are variations in sleeves such as full sleeves, half sleeves, capped, raglan and yoked. Raw materials used in the t-shirt manufacturing process are cotton and polyester. The neckband is made with a fabric named twill. A particular thread is used for stitching and sewing. 

T-shirt Manufacturing Process 

Cotton Farming: T-shirt manufacturing process starts from procuring cottons from farmers. Cottons are then converted into bales and transported to Ginning mills.

Ginning Mill: This is the place where cotton fiber and cotton seeds are separated. The cotton fiber is then used in manufacturing garments and cotton seeds are used in manufacturing vegetable oil. 

Spinning : The cotton fibers are now separated and in this unit they are cleaned and cotton yarns are made out of it. Spinning unit involves many steps starting with Blow room → Combing → Carding → Drawing → Roving → Spinning.

Dyeing: The yarn is dyed using three dyeing processes: package dyeing, hank dyeing and warp dyeing. Package dyeing is the most popular dyeing process where yarn rolls are heated together with dye inorder to dye the yarn.

Knitting: Yarn enters the knitting machine as a raw material. There are various yarn inserted into the circular knitting machine, various yarn are intertwined together to make a sheet of fabric. 

Inspection: Once the fabric is purchased by a garment manufacturer it is inspected by them in order to check any defectiveness or to check any shade variation. If the shade variation is found the cutting process is done accordingly. 

Cutting: Many layers of the fabric are stacked together in this process and then using a bend knife cutting machine they are cut into different dimensions like front, back, sleeves, neckband and pocket if any. 

Stitching: Different dimensions of fabric are stitched in this step using 2 methods of stitching overlock and superimposed. First front and back part are stitched then sleeves then neckband and at last the hem of the t-shirt. 

Printing: Printing is done to the t-shirt to make it stylish. There are several types of printing. Screen-printing, digital printing, heat embossing and spray printing. Then these bulk printed t-shirts are transferred to the stitching department.

Finishing: This process is divided into 2 parts. Firstly, t-shirts are ironed in order to give it a finishing and appealing look and secondly, the tagging and packaging takes place. Then wholesalers and retailers offered to buy t-shirts in bulk.
