Original Press Release:
TNA Introduces New Generation Robag® 3 with New Kanga Jaw Technology for Specialty Bag Formats
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (August 2008) - tna, a leading supplier of turn-key, integrated packaging and processing solutions for food production companies worldwide, launches the robag® 3 Vertical Form Fill & Seal (VFFS) packaging system, with new kanga jaw technology for high quality specialty bag formats and long bag applications such as cereals and frozen food.
robag® 3 is a multi-functioning, highly efficient machine for all types of bag forms.
tna created the new robag® 3 to address customer feedback about their continuing needs for versatile VFFS packaging. One of the robag® 3 innovations is its ability to provide a continuous, regular and smooth film speed; perfect for all types of films, including high sensitivity films. "We have taken all our customer feedback to make the robag® 3 the most versatile, high performance VFFS we have ever designed" says Shayne De la Force, group marketing manager, tna. "With the new kanga jaw configuration, we can now emulate a box-motion with all the benefits of a high speed rotary system which is a new and original approach."
The new kanga jaw innovation is designed to allow production of high-quality flexible bag formats such as quattro and block bottom, on robag® 3 rotary jaw machines, whilst maintaining the high speeds tna customers expect. These bag formats were previously achievable only on tna's robag® flat jaw models. The kanga jaw, powered by a linear motor, adds an up and down motion to its rotating jaws. This additional movement of up to 120 mm allows jaw path control so the jaws approach each other on a horizontal line. This new dimension in tna's rotary jaw evolution adds the flexibility for specific technical needs or bag formats. The highly versatile control option is integrated into the systems software so it can be simply switched on or off as required.
Perfect for contract packagers, the robag® 3 with kanga jaw technology is one machine that will do it all at speeds comparable to any competitive block bottom or quattro machine. robag® 3 integrates seamlessly with tna's roflo® 3, accumulation and distribution system, as well as most other packaging systems.
