Meurer heat shrink tunnel

• Shrink-wrapping individual products or multi-packs for retail presentation and protection.
• Securing products on trays or in bundles for improved handling and shipping.
• Applying tamper-evident seals to food and beverage containers.
• Packaging items for hygiene and extended shelf life in food processing environments.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 10 to 40 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Heat shrink tunnels typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, with power consumption varying based on tunnel length and heating elements.

Temperature range

Adjustable temperature controls commonly allow for operating temperatures between 100°C and 220°C, suitable for various shrink films.

Conveyor speed

Variable speed conveyors are standard, typically offering speeds from 5 to 25 metres per minute to optimise shrink quality.

Film compatibility

Units of this type are generally compatible with a range of shrink films, including PVC, POF (polyolefin), and PE (polyethylene), depending on the heating system.

Footprint

A typical heat shrink tunnel, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors, may have a footprint of approximately 1.5m to 3m in length and 0.8m to 1.5m in width.

• What types of products can be processed through this tunnel?

  A heat shrink tunnel is suitable for a wide array of products, including food items, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial goods, provided they fit within the aperture and are compatible with shrink film.

• What maintenance is typically required for a heat shrink tunnel?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing packaging line?

• What safety features are commonly found on these machines?

• How does a heat shrink tunnel work?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
