Shrink tunnels are auxiliary equipment that can be integrated into the shrink wrapping processes of large-scale, industrial operations, and they are easily paired with either our L-Bar Sealer, Side Sealer, or Sleeve Sealer line to boost efficiency.

A variable-speed roller conveyor with heavy duty 1-inch silicone-coated steel rollers move shrink-wrapped packages into the temperature-controlled shrink tunnel. Inverter-driven heating fans then circulate an even distribution of low-turbulence hot air around the film-wrapped products in order to create a compact shrink-fit.

Once complete, an airflow recovery system helps to save energy by recovering the circulated hot air. A twin-fan cooling system then blows cooler air around the shrink-wrapped products to ensure that the packaging remains stable after shrinking. This is also done to avoid inconsistent shrinkage and burns before products are transported out onto an aluminium pack cooling rack or receiving table.

Our UK Packaging Machinery Ranges

Our range of L-Bar Sealers, Sleeve Sealers, stretch wrappers, and Side Sealers, as well as Shrink Tunnels are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications and can be customised according to your production needs. All individual modules that comprise our Shrink Wrap range like infeed and discharge conveyors, multi-lane conveyors, dual infeed rails, and pack cooling racks are available in different versions according to your production requirements. Please contact us for all your wrapper machine needs.

Shrink tunnels can be incorporated into any new or existing packaging operation for the shrink wrapping of daily necessities, healthcare products, stationery, bags and pouches, bottles, cans jars, blister packs, cartridges, cups, trays, tubes and vials, tobacco packaging, bottles, workwear, towels, aerosol containers, moulded panels, cans, large household goods, timber, paint pots, magazines and newspapers, flat pack furniture, any round or long products, electronics, etc.

• Durable and versatile, our shrink tunnels can be used to wrap a huge variety of products across a diverse range of industries
• Low turbulence hot air distribution and recovery system ensures sleek and seamless shrink wrapping with no excess waste generated
