The tna intelli-weigh 0328 omega multi-head twin scale is the first 28-head twin scale from the omega series. It may be used with either the tna robagTTX, twin configuration robagTX  or twin configuration robagFX – so it can accurately weigh and bag a wide variety of food applications.

The twin configurations of the tna robag bagger combine two high-speed VFFS machines, providing reduced footprint, enhanced performance and increased productivity per available floor space as well.

The tna intelli-weigh 0328 omega scale features ultra-high speeds on a three-litre capacity weigher, the world’s first auto-tuning function for easy operation and optimum control, and an inspection wizard that highlights periodic preventive maintenance routines. New individually adjustable collating chutes allow for high-speed discharge, maximum flexibility and more product diversity, making it especially well-equipped for large production lines and complicated application mixtures.

It is capable of taking on 200 weighs per scale, and even up to 400 weighs per twin scale, depending on the application. The large product window also enhances the sealing process, contributing to the reduction of packaging waste during production. High accuracy minimises product waste, improves yield and reduces power consumption by as much as 60% compared to conventional models.

Michael Green, managing director - tna, commented, “Speed and accuracy are especially important in production lines. With the tna intelli-weigh 0328 omega, we are now able to extend our offering of twin scales to our tna intelli-weigh omega series, enabling food manufacturers to achieve even higher levels of productivity with all the benefits of two high-speed single tubes in a twin format, all while significantly decreasing power consumption. Additionally, food manufacturers will also be able to simultaneously produce two different bag sizes and formats for additional flexibility.”

The new scale scale has 30.7 cm colour touchscreen monitor and self-explanatory user interface. The buckets are constructed in state-of-the-art material with special bonding techniques developed for space and aviation technology. Parts are easy to remove to facilitate maintenance, a polygon bucket shape assists cleaning and a complete stainless steel design contributes to the highest hygiene standards.

Australia’s ‘cheese-centric’ dairy industry is looking to higher-value uses of milk protein – such as nutritional supplements – as national milk production remains low, according to Rabobank.

Tucking into a hamburger without harming animals is closer to reality after University of Queensland (UQ) researchers found a way to cut costs in cultivated meat production.

Sixteen months after receivers were appointed over its holding company, the structural obstacle to selling Western Australia’s largest milk processor has been removed. McGrathNicol has launched the formal sale process for Brownes Dairy, with China Mengniu Dairy Company consolidating its holding position so the entire enterprise can be put to market rather than a shareholding above it.
