Visitors to Interpack stand 17B/43 will be able to experience two different configurations of the tna robag® FX 3ci high speed VFFS packaging machine. Firstly, the tna robag® FX 3ci RDJ 230 will showcase the system’s ability to package powder applications such as coffee, sugar and flours at rapid speeds. In the second configuration, the tna robag® FX 3ci RTJ 180 will feature a tna intelli-weigh® 0314 omega multi-head scale, a tna hyper-detect® metal detector and a labeller. This ultra-high speed system offers unmatched throughput rates of 150-180bpm on snack foods, making it ideal for high volume packaging.

The company will also present the latest evolution of its proven robag® system, the tna robag® FXIS 3ci. Highlighting tna’s capabilities in the fresh produce market, the on stand tna robag® FXIS 3ci system will combine the high speed polyethene (PE) rotary bagger with a tna intelli-weigh® 0614 multi-head scale for fast, accurate weighing, and a newly designed tna roflo®VM high throw conveyor for the rapid distribution of sticky products such as salad leaves.

Visitors to Interpack will also be able to see the company’s latest spraying solutions in action on stand. Two display cabinets will showcase the innovative application of oils using tna’s high performance spinning disc spraying technology and variety of options for spray nozzles. For consistent application with minimum waste, the new tna intelli-spin® 105 spinning disc spraying system achieves an even coating of liquid on the top of products such as confectionery. Easily incorporated into an existing production line, it is ideal for the application of glazes such as sugar, milk, egg or shellac, water, oils, slurries and couverture or tempered chocolate.

tna will also highlight its system automation and SCADA expertise and the ease of integration of its equipment into existing lines via an on stand large re-circulating production line. Featuring the tna intelli-flav® OMS 5 and intelli-flav® MLS 3 seasoning systems, and horizontal and vibratory tna roflo® 3 conveyors, the entire line will be controlled by a human machine interface (HMI) system which provides accurate machine and production data for operators. tna’s specialist control and integration solutions can target a variety of inefficiencies, such as poor product quality, material wastage or unsustainable processes.
