Innova Group Introduces its New Arm Wrapper ‘AWS Techlite’, Lighter, and More Efficient

Innova Group is introducing the new Techlite version of its arm wrapper. This new machine is designed to provide an advanced packaging solution for companies with medium- and low-scale production. It retains all the wrapping advantages and functionalities of the standard AWS Pro Arm Wrapper, which was introduced earlier this year, but in a lighter and more versatile version.

The new stretch wrapper model has been designed in response to the growing market demand for a more versatile and lightweight option. This comes at a time when companies are facing increasing packaging and logistics requirements. Therefore, this wrapping system is an excellent choice for automating the packaging process. It is suitable for companies that need to automate and for those seeking to complete their end-of-line systems.

In this article, we invite you to discover more about the benefits and characteristics of the new stretch wrapper.

Why a New Techlite Version? Advantages of the New Stretch Wrapper:

The new arm wrapping system has been redesigned with a lighter, more compact structure, making transporting easier and reducing assembly times. One of the key objectives of this new model is to offer a simpler, lighter wrapping system, suited for low and medium production scales.

Maintenance becomes simpler and more efficient with fewer parts, leading to higher productivity and less downtime. Furthermore, the electronics have been integrated into the wrapping arm and machine frame, freeing up space in the production plant and optimizing the workspace.

Advantages of the New AWS | Techlite Wrapping System by Innova:

With a slim, lightweight, yet secure design, the new Techlite wrapper offers multiple benefits to companies needing a packaging solution tailored to medium-low production levels:

• More compact design and lighter structure: Makes handling easier and reduces the space required in the facilities.
• Easy to transport: Its lightweight and modular design allows for easy installation and transport, even between different facilities.
• Faster assembly: The simplified structure enables fast and efficient installation and startup.
• Fewer parts = better maintenance: Reducing the number of moving parts and mechanical components minimizes the need for regular maintenance.
• Electronics integrated into the stretch wrapper structure: The wrapping arm includes integrated electronics, and it also features a control panel integrated to its frame. This frees up valuable space in the factory, improving line layout.
• Automatically adjustable wrapping tension: Ensures safe and consistent wrapping without manual intervention, protecting the products.
• Wrapping productivity of up to 40 pallets per hour: Capable of offering high productivity even for low or medium-scale end-of-line operations.
• Automated film reel detection: This feature can prevent and control accidents due to reel misplacement.
• Easy integration into existing lines: This stretch wrapper can be easily integrated into existing installations, and the customer can even use his own conveyor line thanks to the modular technology.

A “lite” version of the standard AWS | Pro Arm Wrapper:

Although this new version is more compact, it does not sacrifice the advanced features and functionalities found in the standard AWS/Pro arm wrapper model, which Innova introduced earlier this year.

• Wrapping carriage with roping device: The reinforcement roping system provides extra support during wrapping, offering greater security and stability for unstable or fragile loads.
• Unique wrapping finish system: One of the innovations in Innova’s arm wrappers is the unique film finishing system with film tying, patented by Innova. This tying system eliminates problems with welding or friction.
• Motorized pre-stretch system: The arm wrappers feature a motorized pre-stretch system with options ranging from 50% to 300% (150% being the standard), allowing maximum optimization of film usage.
• Compatible with various load dimensions: The arm wrapper can handle loads with dimensions of 1200 x 1200 mm (50 x 50 inches) and heights between 500 and 2400 mm (20 and 100 inches).
• Partial pallet wrapping option: Both stretch wrappers can partially wrap the pallet from its base, e.g. the first height of bags or boxes, without the need to add a pallet elevator.
• Same available accessories as the standard version: The Techlite Arm Wrapping System also offers accessories such as automatic cover application and vertical top press for unstable loads, among others.

Available Accessories for the Techlite Arm Wrapper:

To meet various customer needs and requirements, this new version of the Arm Wrapper can be equipped with a wide range of accessories to increase functionality, such as:

• Vertical edge protector applicator with dispenser: Enhances edge protection and presentation during wrapping, making it ideal for fragile products. The edge protector applicator accessory is uncommon in the market, and Innova is one of the few manufacturers to offer it as a complement to its range of stretch wrapping systems.
• Vertical top press for fragile loads: The top press system is available for the Techlite wrapper in either pneumatic or motorized versions, depending on the product’s needs and characteristics.
• Automatic cover applicator: The new stretch wrapper includes an automatic cover applicator integrated into its structure. The cover is a common accessory used to protect loads from external elements such as dust or moisture by covering the top.

Same Arm Wrapping System, Two Versions to Meet Your Needs:

With the development of this new Techlite version, Innova aims to offer the market a more complete range of automatic stretch wrappers that cater to different production levels. The arm wrapper is the latest system from Innova, available in Pro and Techlite versions, designed to be adaptable for various load types and sector requirements. As such, both wrappers share a modular technology development and high-energy-efficiency components.

The new system uses the same arm-wrapping technology and modular design but features two different structures to meet the company’s needs regarding installation, production flow, and the characteristics of the product to be wrapped.

Packaging Systems with Modular Technology and Design by Innova:

Innova’s new packaging systems stand out for their development based on modular technology and structure, offering greater flexibility in the packaging sector.This technological design enables customized solutions for each client’s specific needs and facilitates easy upgrades and expansions over time. For example, the modular design enables easy height adjustment to handle larger loads or adding securing accessories, such as the edge protector applicator, top cover system, or top press for fragile loads.

This design adaptability optimizes the performance and efficiency of production lines. It also reduces downtime and improves maintenance because each module or accessory can be replaced or upgraded independently. Innova thus offers a scalable solution that can evolve with each company’s needs without requiring an investment in a brand-new machine.

In short, with the new Techlite version of its arm stretch wrapper, Innova Group reaffirms its commitment to innovation and adaptability in the packaging sector. By offering the same advanced technology as its standard arm wrapper but in a more lightweight compact structure, Innova ensures that every company can find the perfect packaging solution for its needs.
