Nevas: Transforming raw material handling

Because the inventor of the Indus Neva system is also part of Promatrix, the company had the unique opportunity to test Nevas directly in their new facility. The results were immediate and game-changing.

Here’s how Neva optimized their process:

• Plastic granules are poured from bags into big bags, secured in Nevas.

• These Nevas are easily transported with pallet trucks and placed directly next to dryers.

• Dryers draw granules via vacuum hoses straight from the Nevas—automating supply, reducing manual handling, and eliminating downtime.

Results at Promatrix:

• 65% less storage space required—Nevas are stackable, optimizing vertical space.

• Machines no longer stand still—dryers are continuously fed, no waiting for refills.

• Cleaner production areas—no more cutting open bags, no more spillage.

• Fully integrated into logistics—Nevas move seamlessly from storage to production.

“With over 100 Nevas in use, we’ve streamlined our processes while keeping everything tidy and efficient,” says Johan Dijkstra, Head of Logistics.

They even adapted for flexibility:

• Two Neva heights (high and low) for different material volumes.

• Avoiding excess variation while handling a wide range of materials.

Joost Schuiveling, Head of the business office, adds:

“We’re no longer dependent on how often an employee fills the dryers. The Neva system ensures a continuous supply—keeping production running smoothly.”

The Neva Advantage:

• Efficient, stackable storage

• Reduced manual labor

• Cleaner, safer workspaces

• Continuous material flow to machines
