Manufacturers to double line speeds with new system

Food processing and packaging solutions supplier Tna has unveiled a new approach to high speed production line performance ahead of this year’s Interpack in Germany.

Comprising a new high performance vertical packaging system, high speed multi head scale and case packer for flexible bags, Tna performance 5.0 is said to give food manufacturers the innovation and efficiency they need to double their output thanks to high speed equipment, equipment integration and self-learning technology.

According to Tna, customers can maximise their production flexibility with faster changeovers and more product capabilities in a single system.

“Tna performance 5.0 is about a lot more than just individual product innovations,” said Alf Taylor, CEO and co-founder of Tna. “It’s our vision for the future of food manufacturing. For us, the key to long-term commercial success is to rethink the conventional and invest in technology that sets new benchmarks and doesn’t just meet current industry expectations.

“Our ultimate goal is therefore to equip today’s food manufacturers with technology that is capable of the highest speeds as well as continuous improvement, so they’re ready for the next stage of food production. That way, their equipment won’t just meet the requirements of today, but will also easily adapt to their future needs.”

Capable of speeds of up to 300 bags per minute, the new Tna ropac 5 will launch at Interpack in May. The release will be followed by the launch of the Tna robag 5, the latest generation of the company’s flagship vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) packaging system at Pack Expo later in the year.

“At Tna, we’ve always preferred disruptive innovation over incremental improvement or me too solutions,” added Taylor.
