Rapmac T300 Heat tunnel

• Shrink wrapping individual products or small batches for retail presentation.
• Sealing products for protection against dust and moisture during transit or storage.
• Bundling multiple items together for promotional packs or multi-packs.
• Enhancing product appearance with a tight, clear shrink film finish.

Typical throughput

For this class of tabletop heat tunnel, throughput typically ranges from hundreds to a few thousand items per hour, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply, though some may require higher amperage or a three-phase connection.

Footprint

As a tabletop unit, it typically requires a bench space of approximately 0.8m to 1.2m in length and 0.5m to 0.7m in width, plus adequate clearance for ventilation.

Heat control

Commonly features independent controls for tunnel temperature and conveyor belt heat, allowing for optimisation across various film types and product requirements.

Conveyor speed

Typically offers variable conveyor belt speed, which is crucial for achieving consistent shrink results and matching production line speeds.

Film compatibility

Generally compatible with a range of shrink films, including PVC, POF (polyolefin), and PE (polyethylene), depending on the unit's heating capabilities.
