- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 10 to 30 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on heater power.
- Film compatibility
- Shrink wrappers are generally compatible with various types of shrink film, including PVC, polyolefin, and polyethylene, in different gauges.
- Max product dimensions
- The maximum product dimensions that can be processed are dependent on the specific sealing area and tunnel aperture of the unit, which buyers should verify with the seller.
- Footprint
- A combined shrink wrapper and heat tunnel typically requires a significant operational footprint, often several metres in length, including infeed and outfeed areas.
- Control system
- Commonly features a PLC-based control system with a user interface for setting parameters such as sealing temperature, tunnel temperature, and conveyor speed.
