Quebec has diverse manufacturing and distribution sectors, with industries like food and beverage, construction materials, forestry, and consumer goods that rely on heavy or irregularly shaped palletized products. Innova’s shrink hooding system is perfect for this region because:

 

    • Versatile & Robust: It handles a wide range of pallet sizes and product types, which is essential for Quebec’s mixed industrial base.
    • Weather Resistance: The system creates a fully enclosed, waterproof, and UV-resistant seal around products—critical for Quebec’s challenging weather conditions, including snow, ice, and humidity.
    • Reduced Plastic Waste: Compared to traditional stretch wrapping, shrink hoods often require less film while offering superior load stability.
    • Automation-Ready: With many Quebec manufacturers looking to modernize and automate packaging lines, this system is a cost-effective first step toward full palletizing automation.

Advantages of the Shrink-Hood System

Custom-Fit for Every Pallet

As heat is applied, shrink film tightly conforms to the pallet’s contours and shape, ensuring a secure and uniform wrap.

Secure Load Wrapping

It improves load containment and stability, ensuring safer pallet handling and smoother transport.

Shielded from the Elements

The shrinking oven ensures a complete seal, safeguarding the load from environmental factors such as rain, humidity, dust, and UV exposure.

Suited for Order Fulfillment Operations

Thanks to its ability to mold perfectly to the load, shrink wrap is the go-to solution for packaging diverse shapes and sizes, especially in order picking and logistics.

Engineered for Diverse Pallet Dimensions

Heat-shrinking enables automatic hooding of various pallet sizes, with the option to equip up to three film reels for easy configuration across different formats.

Automation-Driven Production

Boost productivity with the shrink-hood system—automating pallet packaging at rates of up to 60 pallets per hour.

Modularity & Tailored Solutions

Whether you need a complete line or a single machine, Innova’s modular design allows for easy integration with existing packaging lines. This means Quebec businesses can start with one solution, such as an automated strapping system, and scale up as needed.
