The Role of Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel | Sleevelabeler.com

The electric heat shrink tunnel is a device used for heating and shrinking packaging materials. It is typically employed to shrink-wrap packaging tightly around items, providing both protection and aesthetic appeal.

This equipment generally consists of a long, narrow tunnel with a series of electric heating elements or heaters inside. As the packaging passes through the tunnel, the heating elements heat the surrounding air, generating heat to shrink the packaging material.

This shrinkage process allows the packaging material to adhere more securely to the surface of the product, offering improved sealing and appearance.

Electric heat shrink tunnels are commonly used in industries such as food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and various other goods packaging processes. They can be standalone devices or integrated with other packaging machinery for efficient production line operations.
