INTERPACK 2020 | PREVIEW www.packagingnews.com.au | March-April 2020
KHS has added a new can packaging system to its packaging portfolio.
“A revolution in seasoning flexi- bility that can quickly meet con- sumer trends and allows a manufac- turer to create new products, the On-Machine Seasoning (OMS) application method is proven to pro- vide the industry’s most efficient and uniform coverage,” Heat and Control says. “It offers significant savings and flexibility by applying seasoning to products just before they enter the weigher, which cre- ates opportunities to respond to sea- sonal campaigns and trending fla- vour demand.
Other benefits, according to the company, are that it allows increased production time and provides maxi- mum efficiency and sustainability via less energy usage, less space and less material usage. With sustainabil- ity a trending issue for industry buy- ers, interpack presents an optimum time to showcase this equipment.
CAN PACKAGING SANS SHRINKFILM
A new can packaging system will form the centrepiece of the KHS booth (hall 13, stand A31). KHS says
this format can replace the shrink film used to package multipacks of 12 or 24 containers for transporta- tion. The first phase in this new project has been completed success- fully in partnership with a multina- tional beverage producer. With this development KHS says it wants to help its customers to save more CO2 in the production process and the packaging itself and so reduce their overall ecological footprint.
The new development for cans sits alongside KHS’s tried-and- tested Nature MultiPack, an eco- friendly system with a carrying handle that completely does away
with the need for shrink film by holding the

containers firmly together with easy-to-remove dots of adhesive. “As a specialist for packaging equip- ment we’re constantly developing our systems and solutions with the aim of saving on materials and pro- viding efficiency in operation. Here, we take all packaging materials into account – whether these be plastic, cardboard or paper,” says Dr Johannes Grobe, CSO for KHS.
TNA SET TO DELIVER
‘THE PERFECT BITE’
Food processing and packaging solu- tions provider tna (hall 14, stand C56) will showcase its ability to meet growing demand for convenient, healthier, clean label foods, with bold texture and taste profiles via its complete processing and packaging solutions, the company says.
From high-speed moguls, oiling and sugar-coating systems for con- fectionery, to flexible conveying, sea- soning and high-performance pack- aging technology for a range of snack applications, visitors will be able to experience on-stand demonstrations of some of tna’s most advanced tech- nology. In addition, tna experts will be on-hand to explain how the com- pany’s my-tna 360 support pro- grammes can help to ensure the best return on investment possible.
Included in the line-up will be an advanced vertical form fill and seal (VFFS) system, the new tna robag 3e. With fully integrated real-time communication software and smart diagnostics, the system takes con- trol sophistication to an unprece- dented level, says tna.
