A shrink wrap tunnel is a heat chamber that is used to heat shrink specialty shrink wrapping film around your item. It does not seal edges or have film; it is just a tunnel that is meant to be connected to a conveyor system. First edges are sealed with an L bar sealer, and then they are transported through the heat tunnel, coming out the other end completely shrunk and form-fitted to your item.
Heat shrink tunnels are used in high volume environments and, when paired with the proper equipment, can help you achieve new levels of productivity and efficiency. They are adjustable with varying heat levels, and ideally your conveyor speed is also adjustable to allow you to truly customize the system for whatever specific job you may be working on at the time. The heat applied by the strong fans inside the tunnel enable the film to conform to the product inside tightly, so you can have a professional and strong-quality finish.
Shrink tunnels serve a variety of industries for retail, food, and industrial packaging. They are a great option when you cant to increase production while offering a consistent and uniform shrink rate across many items in a batch.
