Food processing and packaging company tna has announced a new system that it claims will double production line speeds.
Called Performance 5.0, the "ultra high-speed" system, which will be unveiled at Interpack, comprises a new vertical packaging system, high-speed multi-head scale, and, according to tna, the world’s fastest case packer for flexible bags.
It promises to help food manufacturers double their output and improve their productivity.
CEO and co-founder Alf Taylor says Performance 5.0 is about more than just individual product innovations, however.
"Our ultimate goal is to equip today’s food manufacturers with technology capable of the highest speeds as well as continuous improvement, so they’re ready for the next stage of food production," he explains.
"That way, their equipment will also easily adapt to their future needs."
Central to Performance 5.0 will be the case packer for flexible bags called the tna ropac 5.
Capable of speeds of up to 300 bags per minute (bpm), the ropac 5 will be followed by the launch of the tna robag 5 – the latest generation of the company's VFFS packaging system.
