tna seasoning line makes US debut at Pack Expo Las Vegas

tna intelli-flav® OMS 5 seasoning system from tna, Sydney, Australia, makes U.S. debut at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, September 23-25, 2013, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Delivering the ultimate flexibility in on-machine seasoning, the intelli-flav® OMS 5 system offers consistent coverage and flavor for wet or dry seasoning. Fully integrated with both oil spray and flavor injection systems, the equipment controls adhesion and accelerates flavor changes on snack lines.

Position of the infeed scarfplate further enhances performance. Mounted to the edge of the drum, the scarf now better directs the product into the spraying and flavoring area Additionally, a scalloped infeed conveyor delivers more product to the seasoning drum, while helping to control product direction for greater accuracy and reduced waste.

The company also plans to introduce the tna robag® FX 3ci high-speed vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) bagger (pictured) and the tna roflo® HM 3 conveyor, plus highlight its controls and integration capabilities. Equipped with the tna intelli-weigh® 0314 omega multi-head scale, the tna hyper-detect® metal detector and tna flo-thru former®, the tna robag® FX 3ci bagger boosts throughput up to 30 percent with a rate of 150 bags per minute with potato chips.

The tna roflo® HM 3 conveyor controls speed and direction to ensure optimal performance and smoothly distributes goods to minimize loss and breakage. Particularly suited to heavy-coated products as seasoning does not build up on the pans, the tna roflo® HM 3 conveyor offers an easy-to-clean design to ensure compliance with strict food safety and quality standards. The company also plans to highlight its controls system expertise by demonstrating the integration of its equipment into a full line.
