tna's robag® 3ci’s high speed bagger
With innovative new features including the new tna intelliweigh® omega multi-head scale, the tna hyper-detect® metal detector and tna flo-thru former®, the new tna robag® 3ci provides manufacturers with up to 30% improvement in performance.
The new tna intelli-weigh omega multi-head scale incorporates a number of novel innovations, for example, digital lattice filters, individually adjustable collating chutes for high speed discharge and new high frequency technology to minimise load cell vibrations.
tna’s hyper-detect® metal detector includes the company’s patented technology and optimised design to provide the highest performance metal detector in the market.
Furthermore, the tna flo-thru® former has been developed to maximize the area inside the tube for uninhibited product flow with a 30% reduction in weight. These state of the art technologies further cement the tna robag® 3ci’s position as the fastest VFFS bagger in the industry.
With improved modularity and core component capability, the tna robag® 3ci is also completely upgradable to any combination of jaw size or configuration (rotary single, double, triple or rotary flat jaw), granting food manufacturers full flexibility of bag size, type and application on a single system.
Other design highlights include a new robust 38.1 cm (15 inch) screen for increased ease of operation and a simplified film system providing easy film threading with more consistent film tension for improved film handling and tracking.

Suitable for high volumes of sweet and savoury snacks, confections, cereals, pasta, powders, meat and poultry and fresh and frozen produce, the tna robag® can be fully integrated up- and downstream onto existing packaging lines. tna offers a broad range of additional solutions, including date coders, on-machine and closed loop oil seasoning solutions, plus horizontal and vibratory conveyors.
