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
Double-walled, fan-circulated hot air; wide temperature window (80 – 250 °C)
Compact footprint and lower capex, but higher kWh consumption vs. steam.
Saturated steam blankets the sleeve for wrinkle-free finish—even on contour bottles.
Requires boiler or generator; footprint ~30% larger and higher initial cost.
Zone-controlled quartz emitters cut power peaks by up to 20% and speed glass-bottle changeovers.
Two sequential chambers extend dwell time without lengthening the line, essential for irregular cartons or 60+ packs/min wraps.
