Shrink Sleeve Machine for Bottles | Shrink Sleeve Applicator

  A shrink sleeve machine is used to apply shrink sleeves onto bottles or containers. These sleeves are often made of plastic or polymer material and are applied over the container and then heated to shrink tightly around the shape of the bottle.

  This process provides an attractive and durable label for products, as well as tamper-evident packaging.

  Here's a general overview of how a shrink sleeve machine typically works:

  Feeding: Bottles are fed into the machine either manually or automatically from a conveyor belt.

  Sleeve Application: The shrink sleeves are pulled from a roll and applied to the bottles. This can be done using various methods, such as vacuum suction, mechanical arms, or rollers.

  Heating: Once the sleeves are applied to the bottles, they pass through a heating element or tunnel. This heat causes the sleeves to shrink and conform tightly to the shape of the bottles.

  Inspection: Some machines include inspection systems to check for proper sleeve placement, print quality, and any defects.

  Shrink sleeve machines come in various sizes and configurations depending on the production volume and the size and shape of the containers being labeled. They are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household products.
