Precise seasoning to minimise waste

Accuracy is everything where seasoning is concerned, and TNA’s seasoning solutions ensures every single product is coated for the perfect look, texture and taste. tna intelli-flav^® systems proportionally control flow rates to ensure consistent coverage that minimises over- and under-seasoning, while gentle product action reduces damage and maximises flavour coverage.

The tna intelli-flav OMS 5.1 is the next-generation on-machine seasoning system that provides both powder flavouring and liquid oil in a single drum. This system ensures consistent and precise seasoning coverage, eliminating inconsistencies and reducing material waste while catering to a variety of products.

tna intelli-flav MLS 3 enables an elevated main-line seasoning process with accurate and consistent flavour application across your entire production line.

Enhanced efficiency with advanced primary packaging

Together, the tna robag^® 3e, the world’s fastest VFFS packaging system, and the tna auto-splice 3, the automatic splicing solution, form the ‘Perfect Pair’ of packaging solutions, addressing automation and efficiency demands. Designed for perfect cohesion with the tna robag 3e, the tna auto-splice 3 automatically splices packaging film without any downtime, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring uninterrupted packaging.

In a typical 7-hour shift operation with 3 shifts per day and a bagging speed of 150 bags per minute, this system can generate an additional 3.5 million bags per year, reducing machine downtime by 385 hours annually and boosting overall equipment efficiency by 5.1%.

Equipped with time-saving components, the system delivers up to 250 bags per minute, with wastage reduced by up to 0.1%.

Secondary packaging automation for optimal productivity

TNA’s high-performance case packing system, the tna ropac^® 5, is the fastest case packing system on the market today.

Featuring a bag conditioner, case packer, case erector and checkweigher, it is capable of packing up to 200 bags per minute* on a single infeed configuration.

Using patented semi-rotary technology, it is designed to pack small-to-medium, pillow style snack bags, handling most bag widths and lengths with ease, for packing diverse applications like snacks, confectionery, pasta and cereal.

With the smallest footprint, including the case erecting, case closing and sealing features, it offers fast effortless changeovers and simplicity of operation.

As labour shortages continue to challenge the food industry, it underscores the urgent need for automation. Additionally, as consumers become more health-conscious, there is a rising demand for smaller pack sizes that cater to their wellness goals.

However, increasing the speed of existing case packers often leads to reduced efficiency. The tna ropac 5 addresses these challenges by offering industry-leading speeds, tool-less changeovers and a compact design that integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, ensuring optimal performance.

In fact, Australian snack manufacturer Majans saw a 140% increase in throughput within just 12 months of implementation.
