“What we are demonstrating at Anuga FoodTec is our in-depth understanding of the balance required to satisfy consumers and retailers, while keeping brands profitable,” commented Twan van den Berg, Global Sales Manager, Processing, at TNA solutions. “We use our capabilities, expertise and portfolio to deliver complete line solutions in partnership with our customers, drawing on our deep process knowledge to ensure any new technologies can be integrated with minimal operational disruption and maximum impact.”
The snack industry faces multifaceted challenges, including regulatory, environmental, and consumer pressures. Agility, innovation, and strategic planning are essential for these companies to stay competitive and succeed. Working with a complete line solutions partner offers a number of benefits.
TNA is at the forefront of providing innovative equipment solutions to help food makers address the challenges above, realise goals and exceed their expectations. TNA creates and sustains complete processing and packaging solutions from receiving, destoning, washing, peeling, inspecting, slicing, blanching, dewatering, continuous vacuum and batch frying, de-oiling, sorting, distribution, seasoning, and packaging. This holistic approach ensures that every stage of production is optimised for peak performance, minimising downtime and reducing the total cost of ownership.
TNA's advanced techniques, such as hot washing and pulsed electric field technology, are designed to help producers craft the perfect product. The company assists in choosing the best frying method, be it batch or continuous. For example, its continuous vacuum frying system – the patented tna vac-pro® 3 – fries products at lower temperatures, reducing oil absorption and lessening acrylamide formation, resulting in healthier snacks with authentic colours and textures. Additionally, TNA’s patented de-oiling unit helps create low-fat products, catering to health-conscious consumers. Integrating these technologies allows food manufacturers to diversify their product range and enhance healthfulness.
The tna batch-pro® 12, an alternative for batch frying, features a unique thermal fluid heating system for consistent frying conditions, ensuring uniform product quality. This system ensures rapid temperature recovery, minimising the impact of product loading and maintaining the optimal frying temperature. The result is evenly cooked products with consistent texture, colour, and taste. Its advanced oil filtration system also removes food particles, extending the oil's lifespan and reducing costs. Moreover, TNA ensures even seasoning and flavour dispersion.
