In order to help producers meet the challenges, lower costs and increased production, tna, a supplier of packaging and processing solutions for food production, unveiled six packaging technologies capable of improving packaging performance at Interpack, in Dusseldorf Germany.

The Roflo[R] 3 is the world's first totally reversible reversible,
adj capable of going through a series of changes in either direction, forward or backward (e.g., reversible chemical reaction).

, gateless transfer and distribution system. A production system that would normally require a series of dedicated lines with multiple products can now be serviced by one Roflo[R] 3 system. Using servo-driven, linear motion and modular components, the Roflo[R] 3's conveying speed and direction are controlled electronically on a touch key pad. Roflo[R] 3's bi-directional feed allow its stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.
stainless steel

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.

Twin Robag[R] 3 offers the highest economic value of any vertical form fill and seal (VFFS VFFS Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (packaging) ) packaging system. The twin system literally unites the electrical and mechanical components of two machines into one.

The advantages include twice the production rate in half the space. In addition to doubling production and lowering costs, the twin Robag[R] 3 system can bag one or two products into different types/sizes of bags simultaneously including pillow pillow Medtalk A functional 'unit' used to assess the severity of orthopnea in Pts with CHF, which refers to the number of pillows a Pt needs to sleep comfortably.

The Robag[R] 3 is the new generation Robag[R]. The first tna invention, the Robag[R], brought record-breaking high speeds to VFFS packaging. Now the generation 3 Robag[R] provides even faster batch changeover (programming) changeover - The time when a new system has been tested successfully and replaces the old system.  abilities and a broader choice of formats including high quality specialty bag formats and long bag applications for products such as cereals and frozen food.
