- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 30 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.
- Power supply
- Shrink wrappers and tunnels commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, with varying amperage requirements for the heating elements.
- Film compatibility
- Units of this type are generally compatible with various shrink films, including PVC, polyolefin, and polyethylene, in thicknesses typically ranging from 15 to 50 microns.
- Maximum product dimensions
- The maximum product dimensions accommodated by an FP870A model would typically be detailed in the manufacturer's specifications, but for similar units, common sealing bar widths dictate product size.
- Footprint
- A combined shrink wrapper and tunnel system commonly requires a significant operational footprint, often several metres in length, plus space for loading and unloading.
- Heating method
- Shrink tunnels commonly utilise electric heating elements with adjustable temperature controls to achieve optimal film shrinkage.
