Ling Systems Stainless heat shrink tunnel

• Shrink wrapping food products for hygiene and extended shelf life.
• Securing multi-packs of items for retail display and transport.
• Applying tamper-evident seals to product containers.
• Protecting products from dust and moisture during storage and distribution.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 10 to 60 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Shrink tunnels commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on tunnel size and heating elements.

Heating method

Units of this type typically utilise electric heating elements for consistent and controllable temperature.

Temperature range

Operating temperatures are commonly adjustable, typically ranging from 100°C to 220°C for various film types.

Construction material

As specified, stainless steel construction is standard for food processing environments, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

For a unit with a 2500mm x 400mm belt, the overall machine footprint would typically be around 3000mm in length and 800-1000mm in width, including control panels.

Film compatibility

This type of tunnel is typically compatible with various shrink films, including PVC, POF, and PE, depending on the heating system and controls.

• What type of shrink film is suitable for this tunnel?

  This tunnel, with adjustable digital temperature control, is typically suitable for a range of shrink films such as POF (polyolefin) and PVC, depending on the specific film gauge and desired shrink characteristics. Buyers should confirm compatibility with the seller.

• How is the temperature controlled?

• What maintenance is typically required for a shrink tunnel?

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

• What are the typical safety features on a shrink tunnel?

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.
