Innova Group installs a state-of-the-art packaging line for chemical compounds in Younexa

Innova Group has implemented a Stretch Hood packaging line project specializing in ceramic chemical compounds at Younexa's production facility in Castellón, Spain. The packaging line installed is part of an intelligent automation project for the entire plant, involving collaboration among several technology companies, including Innova Group and Chumillas Technology. The fully automated installation integrates storage solutions, dosing, and packaging of solids by Chumillas Technology, culminating in the final wrapping of loads provided by the packaging line using Innova Group's Stretch Hood system.

 

The Challenge: A Packaging Line Connected to the Dosing Plant

The engineering project was designed to modernize and fully automate the processing plant to enhance production efficiency. Among the company's engineering requirements was the complete renovation of the packaging system and end-of-line processes. Innova Group provided added value to the project by supplying packaging and conveying systems tailored to Younexa's needs.

 

Innova proposed a line with the Stretch Hood system, for its advantages in cargo protection, impermeability, and maximum safety during export and domestic transport, outdoor storage, or in its distribution centers. The Stretch Hood system is notable for its unique advantages over other packaging solutions, particularly those that do not offer complete sealing or protection for loads. It also utilizes significantly less film and energy than alternatives like stretch wrapping. In fact, Stretch Hood can reduce film usage per pallet by up to 50% compared to these other systems.

The installation also included a Bag Press System and an innovative automatic Pallet Dispenser System connected to the flow of incoming pallets on the line.

 

Innova's Solution: Smart Packaging Line

In this industrial automation project, Innova Group installed the packaging line and integrated it with the dosing and bagging systems. Additionally, the project includes the coordination of intelligent Automated Guided vehicles (AGVs), which autonomously and efficiently transport the FIBC bags to the packaging area.

The new packaging line consists of the following systems:

• Pallet dispenser: Innova has designed an innovative Automatic Pallet Dispenser to ensure a continuous, automated supply of pallets, which are intelligently requested from the AGV area.
• Compaction press: Next, the Hydraulic press system is in charge of compacting the load of FIBC bags, providing greater stability and volume reduction for easier handling.
• Stretch Hood System: Finally, the loads are completely protected with the Stretch Hood wrapping system. This system is the most advanced and sustainable packaging solution, providing total sealing and protection for the chemical cargo against external agents such as humidity, dust, or adverse weather conditions. The Stretch Hood model installed in this plant has two film reels to adapt to different formats and offer greater productivity.

 

Results: Innovation and Efficiency in a Benchmark Chemical Plant

 

Thanks to the implementation of the Stretch Hood packaging line developed by Innova Group, a more efficient and safer packaging for loads has been achieved, guaranteeing their stability during transportation and storage. In addition, the Stretch Hood option has contributed to reducing the use of plastic film in packaging, in line with the company's sustainability objectives.

The packaging line project is aligned with Younexa's quality and innovation strategy, offering a homogeneous and professional image in the distribution and transportation of its products.

Innova Group is proud to continue collaborating with reference companies such as Younexa, providing innovative and efficient solutions for the industry.
