Australian company tna, a global supplier of integrated food processing and packaging solutions, has launched a VFFS packaging system with fully integrated labeller and inserter.
This industry-leading development is available as part of tna’s flagship robag packaging system.
The patented labelling and inserting technology enables the high-speed application of promotional labels and/or insertion of value-added two-dimensional items, such as coupons, and three-dimensional items like toys or dry or liquid-filled sachets into primary packaging.
The development follows the company's recent acquisition of Unique Solutions (in November 2015), which has given tna customers access to a range of insertion and labelling tools to help distinguish their products in the market.
Directly mounted onto the tna robag, the inserter and labeller from tna’s Unique Solutions brand do not require any additional floor space and are easily configured and controlled via the tna robag control screen.
This allows for a simple setup and complete ease of operation. Depending on the size of the label/insert, the integrated equipment delivers unprecedented speeds of over 450 labels and 500 inserts per minute, offering customers the highest level of performance in a single packaging system.
Commenting on the new packaging system, tna managing director Michael Green said: “Creativity and innovation are key if you want to stay ahead in today’s market."
He said tna customers now have access to a diverse range of promotional options.
“Whether they want to include promotional items such as coupons, game pieces or small collectibles into their packaging, or insert small sachets of complimentary sauces or extra seasoning to provide an extra flavour boost, the possibilities to add extra value to your product are practically endless,” Green said.
“We’ve always been committed to support our customers with complete turnkey systems and for the first time our engineers were able to achieve a full hardware and software integration of this type of equipment into a high-speed VFFS packaging system.
“We’re really proud to be the only supplier that is able to deliver a fully integrated turnkey packaging solution, complete with bagger, scale, metal detector and all the auxiliary equipment like inserters, labellers, bar code readers, date coders and automatic film splicing technology.”
Tna will be at Auspack on stand 85.
