Kempner Shrink Wrap Heat Tunnel

• Packaging individual or bundled products for retail display or transit protection.
• Securing items together, such as multi-packs of food or beverage products.
• Protecting products from dust, moisture, and tampering.
• Creating tamper-evident seals for pharmaceuticals or high-value goods.

Typical throughput

Typically designed for medium to high volume production, often integrated with L-sealers or side sealers.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, for efficient heating.

Tunnel dimensions

For this class of equipment, tunnel apertures commonly range from 400-600mm in width and 200-400mm in height.

Conveyor speed

Adjustable conveyor speeds are standard, typically ranging from 0-15 metres per minute.

Heating elements

Units of this type commonly feature multiple heating elements and precise temperature control for consistent shrink results.

Suitable film types

Typically compatible with various shrink films including PVC, POF (polyolefin), and PE (polyethylene), depending on film thickness.

Footprint

For a standalone unit, the footprint can typically range from 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width.

• What kind of products can be processed through this heat tunnel?

  Shrink wrap heat tunnels are versatile and can process a wide range of products, including food items, cosmetics, electronics, printed materials, and industrial components, provided they fit within the tunnel aperture.

• Is this unit suitable for food packaging?

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

• Can this tunnel be integrated with existing packaging lines?

• What are the common safety features on these machines?

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.
