tna Launches Ultra-high Speed tna robag 5
tna has unveiled the tna robag® 5, the industry’s first ultra-high speed VFFS system at SNAXPO in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The new bagging system is the final element in tna’s complete ultra-high speed packaging solution – tna performance 5.0.
The new tna robag 5 comes with a new high-performance scale, continuous motion ultrasonic back seal technology and a new advanced controls platform.
The new machinery has been equipped with a range of new innovative features, including the tna intelli-weigh® 0220 omega high-speed scale. Featuring 20 weigh heads, this ultra-high precision scale is capable of combining different products, while offering fast and accurate product transfer with minimum waste. In addition, the integration of ultrasonic back seal technology has enabled tna’s engineers to overcome the thermal transfer limitations of traditional heat seal methods to provide superior seal integrity even at high speeds. Together with the new tna intelli-date® 5 date coder, these new innovations enable the tna robag 5 to operate at unsurpassed speeds of up to 300 bags per minute from a single tube, while reducing the amount of waste, ensuring that each bag meets the highest quality standards.
The new tna robag 5 is manufactured in a high-grade stainless steel to reduce the risk of corrosion and deliver an advanced level of food safety and superior equipment longevity. In addition, it is equipped with the latest controls technology, including a new real-time CXE controller that reduces maintenance costs and downtime by supplying manufacturers with instant, highly detailed system diagnostics.
Alf Taylor, CEO at tna, says: “With performance 5.0, we’re able to provide a fully integrated packaging solution that is not only fast, compact and intuitive, but that also delivers the industry’s lowest cost of ownership by enabling manufacturers to convert twin lines to single packaging lines. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve taken the industry up until now and can’t wait to demonstrate the results to our customers.”
