Shrink Wrapping Equipment - Shrink Wrapping Machine - Shrink Wrappers - Heat Tunnels

Shrink wrap equipment is available in several types including semi-automatic L-sealers, automatic L-sealers, high speed side sealers, horizontal flow wrappers, and sleeve wrappers. Naturally in order to shrink the film, we also offer a great selection of heat tunnels and accessories to match the needs of your shrink wrapping application.

Semi-Automatic L-Sealer-Heat Tunnel Combo Shrink Wrapping System

Our most popular shrink wrap machine is the Shrink Wrapper and Heat Tunnel Combo.  These systems are built on a single frame on casters which makes it easy to move around to the packaging area when needed, or to move into storage when not in use. Available in two sizes and many options, these are great heat shrink wrap machines for production of up to 15 packages per minute.

Standard Features for L-Sealing with Heat Tunnel Combo Shrink Wrapper

Optional Shrink Wrapping Features

Feature:	Description:
Magna-Lock Sealing Arm System	Powerful magnets hold down the seal arm to provide semi-automatic operation and even seal pressure along the entire seal base. The adjustable timer provides the correct dwell time necessary to assure consistent, strong, quality seals.
Air-Operated Seal Arm	Dual Opto-Touch start switches begin the seal cycle and greatly reduce operator fatigue while creating the best seals possible in semi-automatic mode.
Live Roller Chain Conveyor	This conveyor is composed of 3/8” diameter rods, sleeved in silicone rubber and assembled on 1-1/2” centers. Useful for packages heavier than 5 to 7 pounds which may tax the Teflon mesh conveyor belt and for applications where optimum shrink quality is required. (Not available on the STC 2016 "ECO".)
Live Roller Chain Conveyor	This conveyor is composed of 3/8” diameter rods, sleeved in silicone rubber and assembled on 1-1/2” centers. Useful for packages heavier than 5 to 7 pounds which may tax the Teflon mesh conveyor belt and for applications where optimum shrink quality is required. (Not available on the STC 2016 "ECO".)
PLC Controlled Operation	Once the dual Opto-Touch start switches initiate a seal cycle, the PLC program lowers the sealing arm under low pressure. When the seal arm reaches the base, valves switch to high pressure for the sealing cycle.
Power Take-Away Conveyor	Once the seal is complete, the arm raises and the product is transferred out of the sealing area. An adjustable timer controls how long the conveyor moves the product, either all the way out of the seal area or just far enough to make the next package.
Powered Film Unwind	This motorized film cradle feeds film to the operator upon demand as the package is advanced into the seal area. Regardless of how fast the operator or how long or small the product size, this option can maximize production speeds while minimizing operator fatigue.
Adjustable Film Inverting Head	By turning film inside out in a 90° manner, an in-line packaging operation can be created to significantly increase production flow, lessen product handling and increase operator efficiencies. The adjustable height inverting head opens the film for the operator to help reduce fatigue. This feature also minimizes the amount of film required to wrap your package and eliminates the need to buy additional fixed heads for your other package sizes.
Hole Punches	Air evacuation devices come in several styles to best fit your machine and application. Choose pin-wheel, thermal, electro-magnetic, air or multiperf for your machine.

Semi-Automatic L-Sealers

Some customers who already have an existing Heat Tunnel or who run sizes of product outside the range the more popular combination shrink wrap machines need an independent semi-automatic L-Bar sealer. Below please find a listing of stand alone L-Sealers.  All have the same basic options available as shown above (except heat tunnel options).

Automatic L-Sealers

Automatic L-Sealers offer the ability to run at speeds up to twice that of Semi-Automatic machines in the range of 25 - 35 packages per minute.

Automatic Side Seal Wrapping Machine

Automation speeds can again double up on a continuous motion side sealing machine with speeds of 50 packages per minute and more. The variable speed infeed conveyor can be adjusted to accept upstream product without an operator even if it is spaced back-to-back or with intermittent gap spacing. The FEN will correctly read and seal between products which also allows the machine to seal random length packages. Narrow width products and very long packages can now be wrapped as easily as more traditional sized items. The machine's PLC based control system with color operator interface can store up to 30 recipes to assist your operator in making fast and accurate product change overs. Designed to operate on 120 volts, this compact machine will accept a wide variety of products and is built to deliver repeatable performance.
