tnas inserter is designed to automatically place singular 3D objects into tnas robag 3 vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) packaging equipment, completely eliminating missed inserts and manual labor. Operation is simple. The operator selects a set up a program on the systems existing touch key pad to run the tna robag 3 with inserters. tnas inserter system is so accurate, it offers 0% missed inserts, and reduces the number of multiple inserts dramatically at inserting speeds of 100 bpm, doubling manual speeds 40-50 bpm.
Inserts are fed into an 80L hopper in a bulk or loose state where they are then vibrated on demand into the tna inserters rotary vibrating bowl. tna core products offer a range of robag stand-alone and turn-key systems that are renowned in the industry for bagging speed capabilities, efficiency and overall performance. The robag VFFS system has experienced much success in the snack, confectionery, biscuit, cereal, pasta, powder and fresh produce markets, and can form pillow, block bottom, quattro, string and canoe bags.

Automated high throughput LC-MS solution for water and beverage analysis
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaAutomated high throughput LC-MS solution
An innovative LC-MS system with high resolution and accurate mass, the EQuan MAX enables new screening and quantitative capabilities that provide enhanced system flexibility and productivity. The instrument uses the power of the Exactive LC-MS, a high resolution benchtop LC-MS system powered by Oribtrap technology, designed for high throughput. In addition, the EQuan MAX can be used with the companys full range of TSQ series triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometers, providing a comprehensive solution for the analysis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and perfluorinated compounds in environmental water, drinking water and beverages. Samples are directly injected for LC/MS analysis, eliminating the need for off-line sample preconcentration. The unique online sample preparation technique reduces analysis time from days to minutes. The large injection volume (1-20mL) improves detection limits over conventional LC-MS analysis. In addition, the EQuan MAX supports injection volumes as low as 1µL. Switching between injection volumes can be automated for overnight operation and increased productivity, without the need to manually change plumbing configurations.

Automated continuous heat treatment
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaAutomated continuous heat treatment
A range of innovative fully engineered continuous heat treatment equipment is now available for heat treating bulk solids under controlled atmospheres. The technology ensures optimum retention of active ingredients by minimising the amount of steam and lowering the temperature required to pasteurise or to sterilise the product. The process is entirely automated and can treat products from powders to particles several centimetres in diameter. Applications include decontamination insect removal, roasting, toasting, drying and pre-cooking. Several machine parameters such as temperature profile, residence time and atmosphere can be customised so that a large range of products can be processed without damaging their organoleptic properties. In addition, the system is particularly suited for fragile and sensitive products. Products such as gums and spray-dried powders previously considered as impossible to treat are now being successfully treated in Revtech industrial units with up to 8 log reduction in pathogenic organisms.

Automated and flexibile packing technologies
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaAutomated and flexibile packing technologies.
The VP 501 high speed case packer has been designed to efficiently pack shaped bottles made of PET and HDPE plastic. The machine can process up to 7 different bottle shapes in over 20 formations. The machines strengths lie in the dividing system designed specifically for shaped bottles and in the controlled guiding of the products from the infeed up to the packing into wrap-around cases. Format changes are fully automatic and with no parts to remove or replace, they are also fast and precise. The formats and settings can be saved and recalled later to ensure exact and reliable replication. The machine is designed to operate continuously over a long period of time and for this purpose has been equipped with a high capacity blank magazine.
The construction of the popular FTS-B-HD 32 bag closing machine has been optimised to simplify cleaning and maintenance. The machine closes multilayered paper bags and when these are lined with PE-inners, a hermetic seal results. The integrated cleaning station means that packaging dusty materials poses no problem and the FTS-closure is ideal for the hygenic sealing of bags containing food products. Improved electrical and pneumatic systems, simplified cleaning and maintenance and an enhanced control system complete the upgrades.

Atmospheric pressure GC
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaEver-tightening food regulatory demands lead to greater sensitivity requirements from commonly utilized analytical techniques such as GC-MS. Additionally, there is a need to reduce the injected volume of samples in order to minimize matrix effects and the contamination of instrumentation. Atmospheric pressure GC (APGC) is an ionization source for Waters’ mass spectrometers that provides access to ultra-trace quantification, comprehensive qualitative MS & MS/MS, and high-resolution, ion-mobility separations. Changeover from UPLC to GC is fast and easy. APGC allows food and beverage scientists to analyse both GC and LC compounds on a single MS platform.

At-line FT-NIR spectrometer
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaAt-line FT-NIR spectrometer
The NIRMaster instrument is the first stand-alone FT-NIR-spectrometer with hygienic design and is fully at-line compatible in the production environment of food and feed industries. The cleaning of the system and its operation are extremely simple and safe, and comply with all applicable hygiene requirements. The system is available in two versions: the first a food-certified polymer housing and the other with a stainless steel enclosure. With their wide range of pre-calibration settings the NIRMaster units are truly plug-and-play and ready for immediate implementation. Their unique polarization interferometer provides the systems with a level of robustness that is typically not achievable by other interferometer designs; the high sensitivity assures reliable and accurate results even in harsh environments. The internal laser reference eliminates the need of frequent, expensive instrument standardization. Globally operating NIR networks with multi-site NIRMaster installations are supported by the NIRAnywhere software solution, providing safe and fast remote calibration updates and/or data backups, no matter the location of the instrument.

Aseptic valves for beverage and dairy industries
, /in Product news /by 3wmediaEvoGuard
Krones has succeeded in designing aseptic valves that provide a combination of safety and affordability. The EvoGuard aseptic seat valves handle classical tasks like rerouting and shutting off product flows, or emptying tanks. EvoGuard aseptic double-seat valves are used for separating hostile media in aseptic and sterile processes. With double-seat valves, the routings in the production operation can be run under preprogrammed control. One salient feature of their construction is the fact that all cross-sectional areas have been responsively designed to match the nominal diameter involved, thus eliminating any restrictions on the flow rate. A modularized range of choices is available, from which individual components can be selected to suit the particular application concerned.

Aseptic filling machine

Filler
The Asep-Tec filler is designed to fill, under aseptic conditions, fruit juices and dairy products. For many of these products the shelf life is not only limited to microbiological activity but also to chemical deterioration such as oxidation. For these products the shelf life can be increased by reducing the oxygen level in the filled and sealed bottle. The total process of product storage, bottle and cap treatment, as well as controlling the internal conditions in the aseptic zone of the filler, require special attention in order to reduce the oxygen level in the filled and sealed bottle. Stork has designed several modules and systems for this purpose with their Modified Atmospheric Filling system (MAF).
