Shrink Wrap Tunnels

Shrink tunnels, either double or single chamber, are positioned after a sealing unit in a complete shrink-wrapping line. They use heat to tightly shrink the plastic film that has been placed around the products.

Roller conveyor systems are used for presentation applications, allowing maximum airflow to the underside of the packs for high-quality, consistent results. These systems ensure that the underside of the pack is never in constant contact with the belt and therefore prevent marking.

When polythene is being used, we recommend the use of a heavy-duty steel mesh belt which provides pack stability. They are driven by friction so they will never stretch or need replacing – even after years of production.

We offer a range of tunnels to accommodate any speed, any product and any material for a vast array of packaging applications. Harsh environments such as dairies also are accommodated with our stainless steel frame tunnels.
