Regardless of what you call them - ready-to-eat, instant food mix, or
heat-and-serve food - ready-to-eat meals are the most convenient food
items on the market today.
Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are those foods that do not need any further
processing. These meals are cleaned, cooked and packaged before they
reach retail shelves. Some varieties might need to only be heated before
they are ready for consumption.
The shifting lifestyles of consumers are behind the growing demand for
RTE foods. Since consumers now have less time to cook, they are on the
lookout for food products that are functionally expedient and portable,
while still being delectably full of flavour.

ADVANTAGES OF RTE FOODS:
INCREASED CONVENIENCE - RTE foods can be reheated
and consumed at any time of the day or night. This is
particularly beneficial for those who work late nights or
at odd hours.
SAVING TIME - Saving the time and energy expended in
cooking is the most obvious benefit of RTE foods. This is
helpful for many busy people who don’t have the luxury
of spending an hour or more on prepping, serving and
eating a meal.

ADVANTAGES OF RTE FOODS:
SAFETY - RTE foods are quite safe and hygienic as they
are manufactured and packed in well-protected
conditions and processed following the rules and
regulations set by the government.
READY AVAILABILITY - RTE foods can be purchased at
any time and are available at many places. There are
many brands and recipes to choose from, and they are
available at different price points.

machine is robust and compact and easy to clean and maintain.

This is a highly precise PFS packaging machine
and is controlled by a PLC that has the latest-gen synchronised motion
Servo system.

technology that allows for 2 or 3 fillers to dispense different types of
ingredients in the same pouch.

stand up pack, stand up with zipper and Doy pack with spout.

THERMOFORMING TRAY SEALING MACHINE
Nichrome also offers the Athena Thermoforming Tray Sealing
machine from Tecnovac, Italy. This food tray sealing machine has the
capability to seal and pack products in a protective atmosphere also
known as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). It can also pack all
kinds of trays and jars with a ‘Skin effect’. This machine from Nichrome
is the optimal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
due to its sturdy stainless steel structure and ease of maintenance.
This horizontal form fill seal machine ensures that products are kept
safe and hygienic till they land on the consumers' table. This
functionality of the machine is essential for producers of cut fruits &
vegetables, fish & meat, namkeen & sweets and even ready-to-eat
meals like biryani.
MAP packaging machines extract oxygen and carbon dioxide from the
air in the trays, replacing them with nitrogen or mixed air to ensure
that the food does not deteriorate. The tray is then sealed properly to
retain this gas mixture.
