Running a Tetra Pak A1 for TFA line means bottom-line benefits for producers. The overall investment cost of this line relative to capacity and quality is highly competitive. The low operating requirements provide an added advantage, as do the machine’s production capabilities, which can reach 10,500 (TFA 200 ml) packages/hour (depending on the size of package being produced).

Running costs of the Tetra Pak A1 for TFA are kept low thanks to the fact that only one operator with basic training is needed to run the machine. The operator panel is convenient and reflects advanced ergonomic design. Start-up, operation and maintenance of themachine are all straight-forward and trouble-free. Quick access to vital machine parts makes routine maintenance simple. Easy maintenance means mini-mal downtime, which in turn leads to lower costs, more dependable deliveries to customers, better customer relations and more stable revenues.

With package sizes of 100 ml, 200 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml, and adapted design giving broader scope in the choice of printed designs, the Tetra Fino Aseptic is a powerful tool for the marketer. It’s important to be able to respond to changing circumstances and pay-back investments by fully utilising machine capacity.Standard Tetra Pak parts and rational engineering facilitate rapid volume conversions among the four sizes as production requirements change. Conver-sion can be carried out by two technicians in approxi-mately eight hours, thus making your investment inthe Tetra Pak A1 for TFA secure.

WAsTe reduced To A minimum

Most of today’s food and beverage manufacturers operate in an environment of heavily rising competi-tion, which makes defending margins a continuouschallenge and consequently, a top strategic priority. Tetra Pak provides the means for producers to main-tain margins through continuous efforts to reduce per-unit operating cost. The goal is to achieve the lowest possible running costs without compromising on safety or quality. We call this Maximising System Performance.

undersTAnding The enTire PAckAging liFe cycleTo keep any packaging system’s performance at its peak, some critical factors must be considered, in-cluding operating costs, retailer demands, product volumes and diversity, and both upstream and down-stream logistics. Naturally, these factors vary acrossgeographic regions and business segments. Maxim-ising System Performance means understanding the above factors in relation to the entire production sys-tem – people, machines, materials, and maintenance – and the entire life cycle of a packaging line. This understanding then guides decisions that ensure the lowest possible unit cost from the production line.
