The APST-100 Portable Shrink Tunnel Machine is an industrial-grade heat shrink packaging system engineered for entry-level, small-batch, and startup manufacturing operations. Designed to replace labor-intensive manual heat guns and impulse sealers, the APST-100 delivers continuous thermal processing within a compact benchtop footprint.
The machine utilizes a 6 kW heating array composed of 9 high-grade, SS finned tubular heating elements, paired with a centrifugal air-recirculation blower. This setup ensures continuous thermal equilibrium across the chamber, eliminating cold spots and achieving uniform film contraction across POF, PVC, LDPE, and LLDPE shrink films.
Engineered for dual-voltage operational flexibility (Single Phase 220V AC or 3 Phase 440V AC at 50/60 Hz), the APST-100 minimizes energy consumption while maintaining a continuous throughput capacity of 50 to 200 packs per day. It serves as a benchmark entry-level unit for facilities transitioning toward scalable industrial packaging automation.
The heating chamber incorporates a closed-loop air recirculation duct paired with multi-directional centrifugal blowers. High-density ceramic insulation lined along the chamber walls minimizes jacket thermal dissipation, reducing energy loss by up to 35% compared to open-air systems and maintaining steady internal temperatures.
Fabricated from high-tensile Mild Steel (MS) with a protective anti-corrosive powder coating, the chassis is built to withstand mechanical stress in continuous-duty environments. Thermal barriers prevent heat transfer to the exterior housing, ensuring operator safety and structural longevity.
Equipped with a digital PID controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) and a K-type thermocouple sensing array, the system regulates internal chamber temperatures up to 300°C with an accuracy of $\pm 2^\circ\text{C}$. This micro-processor-driven stability prevents film burning, wrinkling, or under-shrinking.
The system features a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlled conveyor system. Depending on product requirements, it can be configured with live silicone-sleeved roller rods for heavy containers, high-temperature Teflon mesh belts for small SKUs, or stainless steel wire mesh belts for sharp or irregular items.
