The system with sixteen bag formats just got smarter than the one you are most likely using now.
With the addition of tna robag Auto-splice, it also makes manual intervention a thing of the past. That makes it a lot more efficient than you are likely to have experienced.
The new Auto-splice system overcomes the challenges associated with preparing and changing the film roll on packaging machines. It removes the need for manual intervention that impacts on operating costs and efficiencies.
The tna robag Auto-splice head, coupled with a robag dual spindle film system, splices film automatically, joining the start of a new pre-prepared roll of film to the end of an expiring roll. The film preparation is carried out while the machine is still running, with no interruption to the packaging process and no machine downtime. It’s also fully integrated with existing robag® software which assists with the automatic reel change.
To make it even more efficient, the Auto-splice system requires the robag machine to be fitted with the tna Auto-track system. This system has sensors that detect film misalignment. It automatically corrects itself by realigning the film system, reducing product waste and minimising downtime.
Michael Green, managing director, tna, commented, “Our new tna Auto-splice system takes efficiency to the next level. Capable of completing a cycle in approximately fifteen seconds, this great addition allows operators to manage more machines per head, and can result in huge operational cost savings.”
