This was an awful incident at OHSU and the operator of the rig is still in critical condition, I gather.

I want to give attention, nonetheless, to PF&R's use of cribbing to extricate the operator:

**Correction: This was not a crane, this was a “rotary drilling machine.” The rest of the PR is accurate as written.

At 11::42 this morning, PF&R crews and the Technical Rescue Team were dispatched to a report of a 100,000 pound vertical drill rig construction crane (used to auger and cast vertical pylons for building construction) that had tipped over onto its side, pinning the crane operator within the cab. Upon the initial crews’ arrival on scene at 545 SW Campus Dr, they found the crane on its side and the operator pinned into the cab with serious injuries.

The crane operator’s co-workers did a great job in assisting our crews by placing a jack under the cab prior to crews’ arrival, which allowed them to quickly lift the cab off the victim, facilitating a rapid extrication. The Technical Rescue Team then supported the cab with cribbing so the cab wouldn’t shift on the soft earth; this was necessary to both protect the victim from further injury and to ensure firefighters’ safety while performing this rescue. Crews then breeched the glass of the cab, removed the victim, and packaged them for transport. Total time for the extrication was 14 minutes.

The victim was then transferred to an AMR ambulance, entered into the trauma system and transported to a trauma center.

Be Ready for RTE with Nichrome

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. The prevalence of families with multiple sources of income and the increase in the number of working women have driven the 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: 

●     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.

●     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.

●     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.

●     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.

SERVING QUALITY AND SHELF LIFE: RTE FOOD PACKAGING SOLUTIONS FROM NICHROME

RTE (Ready-to-eat) foods are foods that do not require any additional processing. They are pre-cleaned, pre-cooked packaged foods that are ready for consumption. Some may require heating for the best results.

Consumers' shifting lifestyles are driving the demand for RTE foods. The cultural shift in dual-income families and an increasing number of working women has strengthened the demand for RTE products. With less time for cooking, consumers are looking for products that are convenient and portable, incorporate varied flavours and have functional benefits.

The global RTE industry is growing in leaps and bounds, and RTE food producers have to consider three key points when developing their products:

●        Food safety: Whether gourmet meals or specific cultural cuisine or staples, RTE foods need to stay stable until they reach the consumer's plate.

●        Taste: Consumers do not want to sacrifice taste for convenience, so RTE food manufacturers have to ensure their products taste as good as they should, even days after manufacturing.

●        Shelf life: Generally, RTE foods need to have a long shelf life, without degrading the taste, quality and safety of the food.

All these points can be tackled with packaging. Advancements in food technology and packaging technology have made it possible to extend the shelf life of RTE foods by years. They also ensure that as soon as the pack is opened, the food is safe, appetising and tasty.

Because RTE meals are pre-cooked, their packaging needs to meet the following criteria:

●        Provide protection during shipment and on the shelf

●        Careful and reliable sealing to prevent outside contaminants and                          preserve  freshness

●        Come in food-grade safe containers or packs that can be easily frozen or 

            heated  

The most popular technologies used for RTE meals include:

Retort: Since its invention in 1978, retort has been touted as the solution for maintaining the shelf stability of readymade, microwaveable foods. Retort pouches are flexible plastic pouches that are packed with already cooked or semi-cooked food, sealed and subsequently sterilised to create food pouches that have a shelf life of up to 18 months with no preservatives and zero refrigeration.

MAP: Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is the process of removing the ambient oxygen-filled air in the package headspace and replacing it with a gas or gas mixture, usually nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

VSP: Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP) works by combining a high barrier film with a pre-made tray. The film encapsulates the food like a second skin, eliminating almost all package atmosphere.

FOOD PACKAGING: A GROWING TREND

The demand for packaged food has been growing steadily over the last decade and more. Need for convenience, hygiene considerations and influx of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook options, driven by changing lifestyles, growing incomes and increasing mobility are driving this demand. More and more consumers now prefer packaged edible oil, food grains, milk, snacks, mithai, etc. over the traditionally popular loose products.

The pandemic has only added to the situation, causing the market to boom further.

Today, supermarkets and restaurants too are opting for packaged staples, pre-packaged salads and cut vegetables, etc. Many food sellers are shifting to selling pre-made meals that are then frozen or packaged in film-covered trays.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FOOD PACKAGING MACHINE

Needless to say, you must go for the food packaging machine that suits your business requirement the best, there are some basic criteria to consider.

Size and weight of the machine: The space you have for the machine and its operators plays an important role when selecting your food packaging machine. Size and weight of the machine should suit your facility.

Ease of operation: Keep in mind the skills and aptitude of your staff who are going to operate the machine. Go for a food packaging machine that your operators can handle easily, or can be easily trained to operate.

Cost of running & maintenance: Find out the average cost of running the machine you propose to purchase. Regular use means it will require regular maintenance, so ask about annual maintenance contracts. Sometimes, parts may need to be repaired or replaced. Be aware of such expenditures when calculating investment cost and ROI.

Flexibility for growth/diverse products: While you will be buying the automated packaging machine for a specific product, choose a machine that has the flexibility and versatility to package other products too. With minimum adjustments and easy changeover. After all, you may expand your product range in the near future, and your current packing machine should be capable of handling it. Most Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines work flawlessly with various packaging products no matter what the size, shape or content you put in the bags.

Reliability of the manufacturer: Be aware of the manufacturer's track record. You might even contact other customers to find out their experience, and get first-hand information regarding services and support.

EXCEL IN THE GROWING RTE FOOD MARKET WITH NICHROME

Ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food sales are soaring in India. The pandemic and the government's stay-at-home advisory have forced people to become ‘quarantine chefs’ and bring home the joy of eating out.

According to a report in Economic Times, in the first 3 months of the lockdown (April-June 2020), fresh packaged food brand ‘iD Fresh Food’ saw paratha sales rise by 60% compared to the previous quarter while meat and seafood brand ‘Licious’ saw more than a 300% jump 300% jump in sale of ready-to-eat meat spreads, a two-fold increase sale of ready-to-cook kebabs, marinated meat and seafood.

It’s evident that quick-fix meals, do-it-yourself meal kits, packaged foods and ready to eat products have seen a huge and sustained uptick in demand during the lockdown. The growth can be ascribed to most people cooking and eating at home, and the will to experiment with newer items. There is clearly a shift in consumer behaviour and preferences. More Indian consumers are opting for better quality and safer food products.

Picking up on this consumer trend, food companies are launching ready-to-eat products including easy-to-prepare options. DIY meals are also being introduced, for consumers who are cautious about ordering cooked food from restaurants & caterers. With home cooking and at-home consumptionrising, such foods will help food manufacturers to gain greater acceptance and household penetration - in both big metros and smaller towns.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Instant Food Packaging Machines

According to Wikipedia, 'instant food' can be defined as foods that provide convenience to consumers and assists in reducing "the time of preparation/cooking and drudgery", whereby no more than five minutes of time is required from the time of food preparation to the food being consumed.

In the contemporary world, the range and variety of instant food is huge. From instant baby food, instant soups, cup noodles, sauce mixes to beverages like powdered milk, fruit-flavoured drink mixes, instant tea & coffee to canned food and RTE/RTC packs - the number of instant foods available on retail shelves is mind-boggling.

Packaging of Ready-to-eat (RTE) & Ready-to-cook (RTC) Food

For the purpose of this blog, let's narrow our discussion on instant food packaging to packaging of RTE/RTC food. Due to growing urbanisation, and changes in society such as changing food habits, more women pursuing professional careers, unavailability of domestic help, increase in nuclear families, people prefer the convenience and variety of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food over cooking at home.

Ready-to-Eat (RTE) and Ready-To-Serve (RTS) food broadly comprise items such as meat products like pre-cooked sausages, ham, chicken products, curries, chapattis, rice dishes, aloo chole, navratan kurma, channa masala, palak-paneer, etc.

Ready-to-Cook food includes instant mixes like cake mixes, gulab-jamun mix, falooda mix, icecream mix, jelly mix, pudding mix, soup powders, etc.; ready snacks & breakfast meals such as upma, masala oats, poha, etc.; and pasta products like noodles, macaroni, vermicelli, etc.

The purpose of proper instant food packaging

Proper packaging must essentially contain and protect the food from external contamination. This function involves retardation of deterioration, extension of shelf life, and maintenance of quality and safety of packaged food. Packaging should protect food from environmental influences such as heat, light, the presence or absence of moisture, oxygen, pressure, enzymes, spurious odors, microorganisms, insects, dirt and dust particles, gaseous emissions, and so on.

The packaging should be an effective marketing tool, and should provide convenience of use to the consumer. And before it reaches the consumer, the package should remain undamaged throughout the shipping, storage and handling process.

Points to consider when choosing the right packaging machine

There are 3 main points to consider when choosing the right equipment for instant food packaging.

1. Speed: Ideally, you need to understand your targets. How many packs and how fast you want to package them every day, should be defined. If you are a startup or investing in packaging machinery for the first time, you could start with a smaller, slower machine.

2. Pouch format: Diversity of products and goals can help you choose the machine that's best for your operations. If you hope to widen your product range and SKUs, you need a machine that's versatile enough to grow with you.

3. Operating cost and maintenance: An automated packaging machine is a big investment but it doesn’t stop there. Some may be costlier but deliver smoother, hassle-free performance. Focus on all the elements of operating costs and overheads such as electricity and labor to operate the line. Also, being used for food products, the machine should be easy to clean with fast, hassle-free changeovers.

4. Training: The machine you select will affect the amount of training and employee hours required to operate the machine. The advantage of an automated form-fill-seal machine is that once the operator has been trained and the machine commissioned & configured, the operator can concentrate on other tasks.

Ideally, your packaging machine manufacturer should provide the training and support you need to ensure efficient operations with minimal downtime.
