Packaging solution

Snack manufacturer Pata has selected packaging, weighing, seasoning and distribution systems from integrated packaging and processing solutions provider tna.

Based in the province of Mantua, Italy, Pata specialises in the production of a wide variety of potato chips, popcorn, and extruded snacks.

Pata needed a flexible packaging system that could handle different products and bag sizes. The tna robag TX 3ci vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) packaging system was able to offer both production flexibility and improved performance in a compact, easy-to-clean system. Designed with flexibility in mind and capable of delivering up to 100 bags per minute, the tna robag TX 3ci handles a wide variety of bag sizes and formats, while its rotary single jaws ensure seal integrity, preventing bursts and reducing waste.

The system was delivered completely integrated with a tna intelli-weigh 0314S omega multi-head high speed scale. Capable of up to 200 weighs per minute, the tna intelli-weigh 0314S omega offers high accuracy, further improving performance by reducing product losses.

“Pata needed a packaging system that could easily be integrated into their current production line, while at the same time give them the flexibility to upgrade the system at a later stage,” says Peter Pellizzari, regional sales manager – tna. ”At tna, we want to make sure that our customers are always one step ahead. Our robag range is therefore completely upgradable to different jaw sizes and configurations enabling Pata to further speed up their production should their requirements change in the future.”
