Pata Snack Foods, Mantua, Italy, produces and packages a broad range of high-quality potato chips, popcorn, and extruded snacks. Because it packages not only its own brands but also those of its private label customers, the company recently found itself in need of a flexible, reliable bag packaging system that would accommodate a range of film packaging structures, operate at high speeds, and minimize product and packaging waste. Having evaluated various options, Pata determined that the robag® 3ci vertical form/fill/seal bagging equipment from tna was the best fit for its operations.

“One of the main things that makes tna stand out is the time and patience they have invested to develop a close working relationship with us,” says Pata Plant Manager Massimo Piona. “That commitment confirmed our decision to purchase their equipment.”

The tna robag 3ci vf/f/s bagging system is compact, easy to clean, and is designed with flexibility and high speeds (up to 100 bags/min) in mind. Rotary sealing jaws ensure seal integrity and prevent bag bursting, so product waste is minimized. The system was delivered to Pata integrated with metal detection equipment and tna intelli-weigh® 0314S omega multi-head, high-speed bucket scales, capable of up to 200 high-accuracy weighs/minute. These features enhance product quality and hygiene and reduce product loss.
