Packaging is experiencing a significant shift in Africa. Manufacturers in the Africa region are seeking smart, scalable solutions due to rising consumer interest, growing agro and dairy industry. ProPak East Africa 2025, the region’s most significant and influential processing and packaging exhibition, is at the heart of this evolution.
And, Nichrome is once again at the forefront.
With a rich legacy of experience, Nichrome has transformed the way brands package milk, grains, pulses, powders and liquids in India. Our focus at ProPak East Africa is not solely on machines, but also on facilitating new possibilities. Our show floor will showcase a powerful combination of state-of-the-art technology, application-specific engineering, and deep understanding of African market dynamics.
We’re offering end-to-end packaging solutions for your business at an advanced level, so take a look at what Nichrome is exhibiting at ProPak East Africa 2025.
Liquid Packaging Solutions: Edible Oils, Detergents & Beyond
Handling liquids and ensuring their seals are free of any contamination. Filpack Servo 6K, FilPack Servo 12K and Filpack CMS 5L are Nichrome’s VFFS and High Fidelity Flavors (HFFS) liquid packaging machines that can process edible oil sack or detergent pod fillings.
- Edible Oils
- Edible Oil Packaging Machine solutions come in the form of multi-layer, nitrogen-flushed pouches that retain freshness.
- With servo-driven accuracy, our Bottle Filling Capping Machine lines, including the Filpack Universal bottle filler, can safely fill up to 6,000 bottles/hr.
- Detergents & Powders
- Our detergent packaging machine integrates an auger filler for powders and a volumetric cup filler for granules, ideal for washing powder and detergent sachets.
- Washing Powder Packaging Machine setups feature quick‑change feed screws to switch between coarse and fine powders in minutes.
- Mini Dairy Plant & Milk Packaging:
- Hygiene and consistency are essential aspects of any dairy production. Our mini dairy plant puts pasteurization, homogenization, and pouch‑packing under one roof—ideal for small to medium cooperatives and private dairies.
- We pioneered India’s first milk pouch packing machine in 1977, and today our milk filling machine range includes: Filpack Universal, Excel 400 and Filling lines.
Why settle for generic when you can get application‑specific? Our automatic powder packaging machine and bottle filling capping machine keep your line flexible, moving from edible oil pouches to detergent sachets with ease. We guarantee our products will never break.
Powder & Granular Packaging: Speed, Accuracy & Versatility
From sugar to spices, our powder and granule systems are built to scale. At ProPak East Africa, we’ll demo:
- Powder sachet packaging machine for milk powder, RTE mixes, and spices
- Volumetric cup filler units for rice, pulses, maize, and wheat

Our solutions are suitable for center, threeside, gusseted, and zipper pouches, which can be used with rice packaging machines, maize packaging machinery, or wheat packaging equipment. Changeovers are now simple, meaning you can easily switch from sugar to coffee packaging machine formats.
Agrochemical & Seed Packaging: Precision Under Pressure
Agribusinesses require machines that handle corrosive chemicals and bulk seeds with extreme care. Enter our seed packaging machine and Pulses Packaging machine lines:
- Anti-corrosive contact parts and dust-tight enclosure design are hallmarks of our seed packaging machine units.
- Various pulses packaging machines are equipped with nitrogen flushing to prevent rancidity.
Our automatic powder packaging machine can control the dosage of powdered pesticides and fertilizer, while our powder packaging machines with multitrack heads achieve rates up to 1,200 packs/min. The ability to customize powder sachet packaging machine configurations for 5 g–50 ml is essential for small dose agrochemicals.
Our agro line is built with safety in mind: emergency‑stop interlocks, ATEX‑rated motors, and full CE certification. When you need a seed packaging machine that won’t quit halfway through planting season, you know who to call.
Tea, Coffee & Snack Packaging: Freshness You Can Taste
The scent of freshly ground coffee or crunch of your favourite snack is omnipresent almost everywhere, making it imperative that your packaging machine maintains that aroma and taste.
- Coffee & Tea
Our Coffee packaging machines are equipped with features such as nitrogen flushing, vacuum sealing, and tamper‑evident sachets for singleserve and bulk configurations. Our cup filling sealing machine can divide leaf tea into individual cups with the lid applied automatically for tea delivery.
- Snacks & Yogurt
The cup filling lines deliver up to 240 cups/min for pudding, yogurt, and RTE noodles. Coupled with our cup filling sealing machine, you get leak‑proof seals—crucial for chilled snacks. And yes, our Yogurt Packaging Machine ensures creamy consistency every time.
Whether you’re in the chai business or snack aisle, Nichrome has you covered: from Sugar Packaging machine sachets for traditional tea to multi‑serve coffee canisters.
