Increased packaging efficiency

tna auto-splicetna has launched the tna robag Auto-splice system, which automatically splices film, increasing packaging efficiency and maximising product throughput by reducing the need for manual intervention.

The new system overcomes challenges associated with preparing and changing the film roll on packaging machines. This procedure often requires manual intervention, impacting on operating costs and efficiencies.

The new tna robag Auto-splice head, coupled with a robag dual spindle film system, splices film automatically, joining the start of a new pre-prepared roll of film to the end of an expiring roll. The film preparation is carried out while the machine is still running, with no interruption to the packaging process and no machine downtime. It’s also fully integrated with existing robag software which assists with the automatic reel change.

Michael Green, managing director of tna, comments, “Our new tna Auto-splice system takes efficiency to the next level. Capable of completing a cycle in approximately 15 seconds, this addition allows operators to manage more machines per head and can result in huge operational cost savings.”
