TNA Debuts Next-Gen Robag Packaging Systems

robag VFFS
TNA Solutions

As labor shortages, rising costs and increasing product variety continue to reshape snack production, manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less. The growth of smaller bag sizes and multipacks is adding to that challenge, increasing the number of packs that need to be formed, filled and moved — often without additional labor or factory space.

May 13, 2026

TNA Solutions introduces the next-generation packaging system, the tna robag Quantum, engineered to help food manufacturers increase throughput, simplify operations and respond faster to changing market demands.

Since redefining VFFS packaging in 1982, TNA has spent more than four decades relentlessly innovating the robag platform, introducing multiple generations of technology that have continually pushed industry standards forward. The tna robag Quantum represents the next major leap in this journey, bringing a new level of performance, flexibility and intelligent simplicity to modern food production.

“For over 40 years, the tna robag has continuously raised the bar in VFFS packaging through ongoing innovation. Quantum is the latest expression of that journey, built with the same pioneering spirit, and engineered for what the industry needs next,” said Michael Jonson, CEO of TNA Solutions.

As labor shortages, rising costs and increasing product variety continue to reshape snack production, manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less. The growth of smaller bag sizes and multipacks is adding to that challenge, increasing the number of packs that need to be formed, filled and moved — often without additional labor or factory space.

The tna robag Quantum has been developed to address these pressures with a different approach to capacity. Rather than simply adding more bagmakers to increase output, it is designed to deliver higher output per tube (up to 300 bags per minute, subject to bag, film and product type), helping manufacturers reduce the number of machines required for the same production target and create a more manageable overall line configuration.

For producers, this can translate into significant operational gains, including higher output per tube, fewer machines for the same output and low product and film waste, depending on the application. By reducing the amount of associated infeed and outfeed equipment, manufacturers can also lower maintenance demands, cleaning requirements and total line complexity.

The new platform has been engineered around four priorities that matter directly on the factory floor: easier, better, faster and smarter. Simplified operation and a cleaner machine architecture help reduce day-to-day intervention and support faster changeovers. The system is also designed to maintain repeatable pack quality at high speed, while on-machine event management and integrated training support faster operator response and long-term performance improvement.

Crucially, the tna robag Quantum is designed to perform as part of a complete line. Integrated with distribution and seasoning, it supports a smarter, more connected production system that helps manufacturers address labor constraints, space limitations and growing product variety without adding unnecessary difficulty.
