TNA will launch INTELLI-SCAN® for high speed date code assurance at Pack Expo

TNAwill debutintelli-scan®, designed to inspect and confirm date coding on high speed VFFS packs, at Pack Expo, Las Vegas, October 5-7, booth # S 5249.  Thetna intelli-scan®, is featured ontna’s robag® 3 fx 180 rotary triple jaw vertical form/fill/seal (VFFS) packaging system with a 314-?1 scale;a combination ideal for efficiently bagging small packs of cookies, crackers, gummy candies and other confectionery products.

TNA intelli-scan®has been devised for processors seeking highly accurate and reliable date coding for applications such as snack packs and smaller bags. TNA intelli-scan® incorporates fine grain image processing, aided by high speed image detection, which amplifies its ability to find miscoded or uncoded product and activate automatic pack reject.

“TNA intelli-scan®offers the first comprehensive date code assurance system that has proven itself as a sound investment, both for brand protection and to meet the stringent demands of retailers,” says Michael Green, vice president,Americas.  The unit mounts to thetna intelli-date® coder, can inspect more than 200bpm, and is fully integrated intotna’s robag® 3.

As health awareness and portion control trends drive pack sizes down, there’s never been a greater need for speed to deal with the increased packaging outputs in limited floor space.  Packaging products in the small bag category, especially 100 calorie packs, requires very specific engineering to be efficient.   Therobag® 3 fx 180 rotary triple jaw/314-d1 scale combination is capable of packing up to 220 bags per minute, boasting efficiencies greater than 95 percent and a reject rate of less than 0.5 percent.  Single or double jaw machines cannot compete with the efficiency of the lower cycle time of the triple jaw combined with the superior product transfer of the integrated 314-? scale.

A leading supplier of turn-key, integrated packaging and processing solutions for food production companies worldwide,tnaoffers a full range ofrobag® (VFFS) machines for virtually any bagging applications including: chips, dried fruits, nuts, baked snacks, fresh produce, frozen veggies and seafood.  Known for high speed VFFS packaging and reliability, the tnarobag® 3 is an economical, low maintenance, low service machine that generates less than one percent material waste. Designed using fewer moving parts, thetna robag® 3 is built to last allowing higher reliability and longer machine life.
