Global packaging solutions supplier tna (02 9714 2300) has launched the robag 3ci VFFS bagger, which provides up to 30 per cent improvement in both output and reduction of rejects.

The new tna robag 3ci offers unprecedented throughput rates of up to 250bpm and includes innovative features such as the new tna intelli-weigh omega multi-head scale, the tna hyper-detect metal detector and tna flo-thru former.

The new tna intelli-weigh omega multi-head scale incorporates a number of novel innovations such as digital lattice filters, individually adjustable collating chutes for high speed discharge and new high frequency technology to minimise load cell vibrations. The company’s hyper-detect metal detector includes tna’s patented technology and optimised design to provide the highest performance metal detector in the market. Furthermore, the tna flo-thru former has been developed to maximise the area inside the tube for uninhibited product flow with a 30 per cent reduction in weight. 

With improved modularity and core component capability, the tna robag 3ci is also completely upgradable to any combination of jaw size or configuration (rotary single, double, triple or rotary flat jaw), granting food manufacturers full flexibility of bag size, type and application on a single system. Other design highlights include a robust 38.1 cm (15 inch) screen for increased ease of operation and a simplified film system providing easy film threading with more consistent film tension for improved film handling and tracking. 

“Our technical capabilities are matched with tried and trusted sales service that remains second to none,” said Michael Green, tna’s managing director.  “With these customer supports in place, our newest tna robag is set to boost productivity levels where high volume performance is key.” 
Suitable for high volumes of sweet and savoury snacks, cereals, pasta, powders, meat and poultry and fresh and frozen produce, the tna robag can be fully integrated up and downstream onto existing packaging lines.
