gravimetric main-line seasoning (MLS) system

tna intelli-flav MLS 3

The tna intelli-flav® MLS 3 is a high-performance, gravimetrically controlled main-line seasoning (MLS) system that pairs with the tna intelli-flav® CLO 3 or tna intelli-flav® CLS 3 to disperse dry and wet flavourings with extreme accuracy – for consistent application with minimal waste and product damage. Featuring modular components, the system can be upgraded in line with business growth, to meet production demands and protect your investment.

  • Achieve top of the line performance at 75 m3/hr (44.1 cfm) capacities using our innovative gravimetrically controlled main line seasoning solution.

  • Experience ultimate operational efficiencies with mass-flow seasoning to evenly apply proportional amount of seasoning to the product accurately and consistently.

  • Reduce expensive seasoning giveaway; gravimetric control to continuously adjust and maintain percentage application to recipe.

  • Protect your investment with a modular design that can be upgraded as your business grows reducing the total cost of ownership and increasing the machine life-cycle.

  • Improve up-time with true mass-flow control dosing that reduces tumble time. Heated spray nozzles also eliminate blockages and disruptions.

  • Promote a healthy work environment with improved air quality in the production area by reducing the airborne seasoning particles.
