Spend money to make money- a principle understood in the investment community, and the end goal of a purchase order. When utilizing company resources toward resolving a problem, you want to know that the solution will be effective, and not create problems of its own. The final cost of a new installation can greatly exceed the purchase order if production interruption and losses occur. Innotech understands and anticipates critical details affected by process change, and ensures they are mitigated before work begins.

With our operational experience we are able to plan an upgrade or new installation with minimal process interruption. Customers benefit by being able to perform upgrades that would normally wait until an area shutdown. We have done extensive work and rectified costly problems during wrapper production or short production curtailments.

Pulp Baling Equipment

The pulp package has remained essentially the same for forty years, with minor improvements in consistency and integrity. By auditing competitor’s equipment and the properties of pulp, Innotech defined critical operating principles that maximize package integrity and minimize equipment wear. We have helped customers to improve newly installed equipment beyond original design capability by retrofitting these principles into their existing machinery.

Our equipment incorporates these advantages into intelligent designs with breakthrough operating flexibility and capacities that no other products can match.

Reprocessing

Innotech understands the ways in which pulp is both weak and strong. With that knowledge, we can help pulp producers and end users get the toughest possible package for shipping and storage, as well as fully automated bale reprocessing. Single ended consumption products such as glue, or glued paper straps are less environmentally responsible than recyclable steel wire, and have trade offs in both cost and package strength. The main problem with wire is the difficulty in removing it, and Innotech has completely resolved this issue. Our experience with the subtleties of how to consistently de-wire bales gives us the ability to provide reliable automated reprocessing at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.

 

Equipment Upgrades

If bale rejects are occurring at a rate of ten or more per day, Innotech can evaluate the machines responsible and recommend either replacement or upgrading. We often find that the machines need either one of our standard upgrade kits, or a simple custom change. All our upgrades bring performance to a level that is beyond the original design, incorporating as many elements of our equipment as possible.

Our Control Strategy is an essential part of equipment upgrading, and is sometimes all that is required. This strategy protects the equipment from damage, eliminates bottlenecks, improves operator safety, and the vital control interface. We have saved from four to seven seconds per bale with control logic changes alone. If your baling line is bottlenecking the process, we have many solutions that will increase productivity with no side effects.
