tna robag 3e: high speed and excellent product quality  

The U.S. snacks market is the largest in the world, projected to grow annually by 2.68% (CAGR 2023–2027). To address the growing need for high-output solutions, the tna robag 3e can produce a wide variety of products at speeds of up to 250 bags per minute. The VFFS bagger also sets high-quality standards with product wastage as low as 0.1%, enhancing sustainability. 

The simplicity of the tna robag 3e packaging system makes it easy to operate, service, and maintain, helping U.S. manufacturers to deal with labor shortages. Featuring EtherCAT real-time protocol and an integrated display controller system, the latest tna robag reduces cabling infrastructure by 20%, enabling easier servicing and lower total installed costs. The tna robag 3e shares common core components with the tna intelli-flav ^OMS 5.1, reducing the need for additional spare parts stocking, while its smart diagnostics and remote connectivity allow real-time communication for faster global servicing support.  

the tna intelli-flav ^OMS 5.1: accurate and flexible seasoning 

With ever-changing consumer tastes, the tna intelli-flav ^OMS 5.1 features a responsive variable mass seasoning function with a dynamic vibratory weigh conveyor, to directly control product, oil spray, and flow of seasoning powder into a single drum. As a result, U.S. manufacturers benefit from the accurate seasoning of a wide range of hot and cold products on the same system. It also allows for consistent coverage without costly ingredient losses, further contributing to a healthy bottom line.
