SMIPACK SHRINK TUNNEL

• Packaging individual or multiple products for retail display or transit protection.
• Securing products against dust, moisture, and tampering.
• Bundling items together for multi-packs or inventory management.
• Creating a professional and aesthetically pleasing finish for packaged goods.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 5 to 30 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

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

Tunnel dimensions

The internal tunnel dimensions for units of this type commonly accommodate products up to 400-600mm in width and 200-400mm in height.

Film compatibility

Units are typically compatible with various shrink films, including PVC, POF, and PE, with film thickness commonly ranging from 12 to 80 microns.

Heating method

Most shrink tunnels utilise electric heating elements, often with adjustable air velocity and temperature controls.

Construction material

While many are painted steel, units designed for specific environments, such as the food industry, are commonly constructed from stainless steel.

• What types of products can be processed through a shrink tunnel?

  Shrink tunnels can process a wide array of products, including food items, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, books, electronics, and industrial components, provided they fit within the tunnel dimensions.

• What is the difference between a shrink wrapper and a shrink tunnel?

• What maintenance is typically required for a shrink tunnel?

• Can this unit handle different film types and thicknesses?

• What safety features are commonly found on shrink tunnels?

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.
