• Applying tamper-evident seals to bottles, jars, and other containers.
• Bundling multiple products together for retail or transport.
• Creating a tight, professional finish for packaged goods in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for integration into existing conveyor lines, processing items at the speed of the upstream and downstream equipment.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, for heating elements and control systems.

Steam source

Requires an external steam generator or connection to a facility's steam supply, with typical operating pressures ranging from 2 to 6 bar.

Tunnel dimensions

The internal aperture for this class of equipment is typically sized to accommodate common product dimensions, often with adjustable height.

Construction material

Units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for durability and hygiene, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Temperature control

Typically features adjustable steam flow and temperature controls to suit various film types and product requirements.
