tna robag® Quantum makes its exclusive North American preview at PACK EXPO Chicago, building on nearly 45 years of packaging innovation
August 12, 2026
A first look at the next generation of TNA’s iconic robag® platform ahead of its official release in 2027.
Coppell, TX, USA, 12 August 2026: TNA Solutions will demonstrate the tna robag® Quantum for the first time in North America at PACK EXPO International 2026 (18-21 October, Chicago), previewing a new approach to packaging productivity for food manufacturers facing rising cost pressures, skilled labor shortages, and growing production complexity.
Building on nearly 45 years of robag® innovation in VFFS packaging, this next generation has been engineered to help manufacturers increase throughput, reduce waste, and simplify operations in an increasingly demanding production environment.
“North American food manufacturers are under increasing pressure to deliver greater output and protect profitability while managing rising operating costs, labor constraints and growing production complexity,” commented Mukul Shukla, Vice President – North America, TNA Solutions.
“At the same time, consumer demand remains resilient but is evolving. Wellness trends, portion control and greater product variety are increasing the number of pack formats and product configurations manufacturers need to manage.
“Many producers are therefore being asked to run smaller pack formats and a wider range of products on existing production lines, without sacrificing throughput, efficiency or profitability.”
Visitors to Booth N-5109 will discover how the tna robag® Quantum addresses these, by taking a different approach to high-capacity packaging. Rather than increasing output by adding more bagmakers, the platform is designed to deliver higher output per tube, helping manufacturers achieve production targets with a simpler overall line configuration.
With speeds of up to 300 bags per minute single-tube packaging (subject to bag, film and product type), manufacturers can maintain throughput and profitability as production shifts towards smaller pack formats. The platform also supports greater capital efficiency, enabling manufacturers to increase capacity within existing facility footprints, helping defer major capital expenditure while reducing maintenance requirements, simplifying cleaning routines, minimizing product and material waste, and lowering overall operating complexity.
The new platform has been engineered around four key priorities: easier, better, faster and smarter. Simplified operation, autonomous setup capabilities and intuitive software help reduce reliance on specialist operator expertise, replacing time-consuming manual calibrations with intelligent automation and consistent operating environment while supporting faster onboarding and day-to-day productivity. This helps operators maintain performance and respond more quickly to changing production conditions.
The tna robag® Quantum forms part of TNA’s integrated systems, bringing together distribution, seasoning and packaging technologies as a connected ecosystem. As manufacturers respond to changing consumer demands, from portion-controlled formats to greater product variety, this integrated approach helps ensure packaging performance remains aligned with the rest of the line.
Working with a complete solutions partner like TNA enables greater agility across the factory floor, helping manufacturers adapt more efficiently to changing products, flavors and pack formats while maintaining throughput, reducing waste and maximizing overall line efficiency.
