Global Food Processing and Packaging Specialist tna Launches the ‘Perfect Pair’

The tna robag® 3e and tna auto-splice 3 combine to increase packaging uptime by up to 5%.

Global food processing and packaging solutions specialist, tna, has added the new tna auto-splice 3 to its packaging portfolio – making the ‘perfect pair’ alongside the tna robag® 3e, which was launched in 2021. The innovation helps food producers address the growing concerns over labor shortages and rising resource costs by enhancing production efficiencies. The two advanced systems together deliver a new CXE integrated display controller and automatic film splicing, which combined can deliver up to a 5% increase in production uptime.

The simplicity of the tna robag® 3e vertical form fill and seal (VFFS) packaging system makes it easy to operate, service and maintain. Featuring EtherCAT® real-time protocol and an integrated display controller system, this latest tna robag® reduces cabling infrastructure by 20%, enabling easier servicing and lower total installed costs. The tna robag® 3e also shares common core components with tna roflo® distribution conveyors and the tna intelli-flav® seasoning system, reducing the need for additional spare parts stocking, while its smart diagnostics and remote connectivity allow real-time communication for faster global servicing support.

Evolving efficiencies

Fast, simple and flexible, the tna robag® 3e features integrated control and a refined design for easy control and maintenance on-the-go. It incorporates unparalleled diagnostics for electrical components, streamlines the cable architecture and is assembled with fewer parts than its predecessors – all while maintaining the small footprint, speed and efficiency that cemented the tna robag® as an industry leading solution.

tna auto-splice 3

The tna robag® 3e is capable of producing a wide variety of products at speeds of up to 250 bags per minute. As well as providing the opportunity to switch quickly and easily between pack sizes, it delivers maximum production and energy savings for the same power and resources. The system design results in product waste levels as low as 0.1%, offering a more efficient, sustainable packaging operation.

tna auto-splice 3: A fully integrated automatic splicing solution

Expertly designed for seamless cohesion with the tna robag® 3e, the tna auto-splice 3 is a unique, compact solution that splices packaging film automatically, with no downtime or interruption to the packaging process. The new and unique rotary reel swapping feature makes it easier to access and replace the film roll without having to stop the packaging system, helping manufacturers maximise throughput and achieve faster, smoother film changeovers.
