Rapmac T300 Heat tunnel

• Shrink-wrapping individual food items or small multi-packs for retail presentation.
• Sealing products to protect against moisture, dust, and tampering.
• Applying tamper-evident seals to jars and bottles.
• Bundling multiple small items together for logistical efficiency.

Typical throughput

For this class of tabletop heat tunnel, throughput typically ranges from 5 to 20 items per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase 230V electrical supply, with power consumption typically between 2kW and 5kW.

Heat control

Variable temperature control for both the tunnel and belt is standard, allowing for optimisation across various film types and product sensitivities.

Belt speed

A variable speed conveyor belt is typically featured, enabling precise control over dwell time within the tunnel.

Footprint

Tabletop heat tunnels are designed for compact installation, commonly requiring a bench or table space of approximately 80cm to 120cm in length.

Construction material

The external casing is typically constructed from painted mild steel, with internal components often stainless steel or other heat-resistant materials.
