AUTOMATION OF THE PRODUCTION LINE

As a key to growth, automation of production lines is a need to boost productivity in today’s industry.

From the feeding of the products to the final wrapping of the finished pallet, the integration of automated lines offers speed and precision to the processes in the manufacturing area, resulting in high quality final products, reduction of waste, costs and defects.

In addition, automation significantly improves the safety of both packaged products and operators. With less human intervention, ergonomics are improved, promoting a better quality of life in the work environment.

These benefits translate into a return on investment and enable plant expansion, expanding the industry’s ability to meet ever-increasing demands.

Indumak understands the needs of different industrial segments and offers dedicated projects for each client.

From economical entry-level equipment to complete high-performance systems, we are prepared to serve different segments in constant growth.

We divided this content into two very didactic blocks. In the first, you will see the main benefits of automating production lines.

Below is a selection of Indumak equipment and accessories to boost your business growth. Read on!

Advantages of automation: what are the gains for your production line?

Investing in the automation of your industry is investing in equipment, technologies and automated systems to perform tasks that are performed manually.

Check out the advantages of automation below.

Increased productivity

With automation, production can be carried out on a larger scale and at a faster pace, which increases productivity and allows the company to meet greater customer demand.

Cost reduction

Automation can reduce costs in several aspects, such as labor savings and the reduction of human errors that lead to rework, waste of raw materials and other unnecessary expenses.

Improved quality of the final product

Automation allows the production process to be more controlled and accurate, ensuring that the product has a more consistent quality.

Greater flexibility

With automation, it is possible to easily adapt production to different types of demand, without having to make major changes to the production line.

Improved work safety

Automation can reduce workers’ exposure to hazardous conditions, lowering the risk of accidents and injuries.

Indumak solutions: how we can help your company

As the market leader in vertical packaging, Indumak’s solutions are focused on automating processes that are critical to productivity.

Our product lines are dedicated to the stages of:

• Fractionation
• Packaging
• Bagging
• Baling
• Boxing
• Palletizing
• Monitoring

Below are some of Indumak’s main solutions for automating each process.

Automation of fractionation processes:

Fillers for packaging machines are equipment that allow dosing the product and filling packages accurately and efficiently.

These fillers are used in conjunction with vertical fillers or baggers, and are designed to dose the product according to the amount needed for each bag.

Indumak has developed a complete line of fillers, with volumetric and gravimetric models and different capacities.

Among them, the FG6-G Filler, essential for those looking for more efficient packaging, with high doses of precision.

The accessory has 6 flow channels, excellent drainage and is indicated for the segments of rice, beans and similar products.

Automation of quality control processes

Regardless of the segment, it is essential that your product is packaged with maximum quality, reaching the final consumer flawlessly.

For this reason, we recommend two important accessories that contribute to the quality control of product packaging, ensuring that packages have the ideal weight and are free of contaminants.

The Indumak Checkweigher is a device that can be installed on the packaging machine to verify the weight of each finished package and is available in both static and dynamic models.

Indumak’s Metal Detector identifies ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel metals, raising the bar for your packaging quality by identifying and removing contaminated packages from the process.

High-performance packaging process automation

Among the benefits of automation is increased production speed. In this sense, Indumak’s high-performance automatic packaging machines ensure a massive production of packages, reducing and even eliminating the production bottleneck of this stage.

Among our best-selling vertical fillers is the MG 250, a compact, robust machine, equipped with a touch screen HMI and easy to operate, with a speed of up to 80 bags per minute (according to the segment).

Automation of baling processes

This machine model is responsible for grouping and compacting products in bales, facilitating the storage and transport of these products.

Indumak’s MK 30 is considered the fastest baler ever made. The equipment handles up to 120 packages per minute, totaling around 1,200 bales per hour, for bags of up to 5 kg, and 190 packages per minute, for bags of up to 1 kg.

Automation of bagging processes

Bagging automation is a key process for optimizing efficiency, productivity and accuracy in product packaging operations.

Indumak’s KBA-F2 bagger is indicated for bagging granulated, pelletized and extruded products in general. With its advanced technology, it provides an efficient and reliable solution for the packaging process of these products.

Designed to operate at high speed, ensuring fast and productive bagging, it has a precise dosing system, which allows the controlled feeding of materials to be bagged.

Versatile, it can be used in conjunction with the Bag Applicator Robot, adding even more speed and efficiency to the process.

Automation of palletizing processes

The automated palletizing system is essential equipment for automating the production line in industries that need to move and organize palletized loads.

This system is responsible for stacking, organizing and moving pallets efficiently and safely, ensuring faster and more optimized production.

The PA-50 Palletizing System serves up to two product lines on different pallets simultaneously, making this step more agile, reliable and constant.

Automation in machine monitoring

An automated machine monitoring system is based on the fact that it allows a more efficient and strategic management of production, with the possibility of carrying out preventive and scheduled maintenance, thus avoiding unscheduled stops that could result in production and revenue losses.

Lin-k is Indumak’s exclusive control system for monitoring the packaging stage of its products.

With the program, it is possible to analyze industrial performance data and visualize the changes that must be made to improve results.
