2. What is a Shrink Tunnel Machine Machines?

A shrink tunnel is a heated enclosure—electric or steam—mounted over a conveyor. Products pre-wrapped in shrinkable film (PVC, LDPE, or POF) pass through the chamber; controlled heat causes the film to contract uniformly, creating a tamper-evident, scuff-proof skin around bottles, cartons, or entire multi-packs. Unlike standalone heat guns, tunnels offer continuous, high-speed packaging and repeatable finish quality, making them ideal for automated filling lines

3. Types of Shrink Tunnel Machine by Amarpack

1. Electric (Hot-Air) Tunnels
  • Double-walled, fan-circulated hot air; wide temperature window (80 – 250 °C)

  • Compact footprint and lower capex, but higher kWh consumption vs. steam.

2. Steam Tunnels
  • Saturated steam blankets the sleeve for wrinkle-free finish—even on contour bottles.

  • Requires boiler or generator; footprint ~30% larger and higher initial cost.

3. Infra-Red & Hybrid Tunnels
  • Zone-controlled quartz emitters cut power peaks by up to 20% and speed glass-bottle changeovers.

4. Dual-Chamber High-Speed Tunnels
  • Two sequential chambers extend dwell time without lengthening the line, essential for irregular cartons or 60+ packs/min wraps.

Bottled Beverages
  • Six-, eight-, and twelve-packs of PET water, CSD, and juice bottles stay locked together, resist aisle scuffs, and display 360° graphics for eye-level branding.
Carton & E-Commerce Boxes
  • Automatic sleeve-plus-tunnel combos replace stretch film or outer boxes, cutting corrugate spend by up to 30% for subscription kits.
Glass Jars & Pharma Vials
  • Steam tunnels yield uniform shrink sleeves over shoulder contours, adding tamper bands without label glue.
Industrial Components
  • LDPE shrink wraps shield lubricants, bearings, and hardware packs from dust, humidity, and pilferage during export.

10. Frequently Asked Question (FNQs)

Q1: Which shrink film provides optimal results for food packaging applications?

Polyolefin (POF) films offer FDA compliance, superior strength at thin gauges, and minimal emissions, making them ideal for food contact applications. PVC films should be reserved for non-food packaging only

Q2: Can one shrink tunnel accommodate both bottles and cartons efficiently?

Yes – select machines with 450mm-wide conveyor capacity, dual PID temperature zones, and adjustable curtain heights to handle mixed-SKU production lines effectively

Q3: What maintenance schedule ensures optimal performance?

Implement weekly cleaning protocols, quarterly mechanical inspections, and annual heating system overhauls to maintain Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) under 30 minutes

Q4: How long do heating elements typically last?

Finned stainless steel tubular elements provide 5,000-6,000 operating hours with quick-disconnect designs enabling replacement in under 10 minutes

Q5: What are the benefits of steam versus electric tunnel systems?

Steam tunnels deliver superior uniform heating for complex shapes but require larger space and steam infrastructure. Electric tunnels offer compact design and lower initial investment with excellent performance for standard applications
