TY-6040 Industrial PE Heat Shrink Tunnel
Specifically engineered for industrial PE shrink packaging, featuring an extended heating chamber and integrated cooling system for heavy-duty applications.
The Core Logic: Why PE Film Demands a Specialized Tunnel
PE (Polyethylene) film requires a fundamentally different shrinking process than standard films. Because PE is thicker and has a higher thermal mass, it requires longer exposure to heat and must be cooled immediately upon exit to set properly.
Rather than adapting a standard shrink tunnel for PE, the YQS-6040PE was engineered specifically around the physical behavior of PE film. This approach helps reduce incomplete shrinkage, surface damage, and production interruptions commonly associated with generic equipment.
Industry Comparison: Typical POF vs. PE Specialized
Provides longer residence time for complete PE shrinkage.
Sets PE film immediately after heating to improve package appearance.
Helps prevent softened PE film from wrapping around rollers.
Designed for thicker films used in beverage, logistics and industrial packaging.
Key Benefits: Value-Driven Performance
The Design:Dual 1.5kW Centrifugal Air Circulation (3kW total).
The Design:Integrated Cooling System.
The Result:Helps the film contract further during cooling, producing a tighter final package while preventing the softened film from sticking to the conveyor or adjacent packages.
The Design:30kW High-Density Heating (12 x 2.5kW Stainless Tubes).
The Result:Maintains stable temperatures without significant drop between successive packages, ensuring the tunnel can handle continuous industrial production.
Engineering Design Explained
Why an 1800mm Tunnel?
PE film requires a longer residence time to reach its shrink point. Our 1.8-meter heating chamber allows for complete shrinkage while maintaining the high conveyor speeds required by industrial lines.
Integrated Rapid Cooling System
Design: High-velocity cooling fan at the tunnel exit.
Logic: PE film remains soft immediately after heating and requires rapid cooling to stabilize the package shape.
Benefit: Prevents film sticking and surface damage while delivering a tighter, professional shrink finish.
Precision Temperature Control
We utilize Omron temperature controllers to provide accurate and stable thermal levels. This precision is critical to prevent overheating or incomplete shrinkage across varied film thicknesses.

Choosing the Right Conveyor
The TY-6040 is available with three conveyor configurations to match your specific product:
Fixed Roller (Silicone Coated)
Recommended for general heavy items; provides high heat resistance.
Stainless Steel Mesh
Widely used for beverage multipacks and products requiring uniform heat circulation around the entire package, including the bottom surface.
Teflon Mesh
Ideal for cartons and products requiring a non-stick, low-friction conveying surface with excellent airflow circulation.
FAQ: Procurement & Integration
Q: Can this tunnel be customized for larger products?
A: Yes. Tunnel width, height, and heating chamber length can be customized based on your product dimensions，film type and production requirements to ensure proper airflow and shrink performance.
Q: Why does this machine require 30kW of heating power?
A: The 30 kW heating system provides sufficient thermal energy for thicker PE films while maintaining stable tunnel temperatures and rapid heat recovery during continuous production.
Q: How do I choose between roller and mesh conveyors?
A: Silicone-coated rollers are recommended for heavy products with flat and stable bottoms. Stainless steel mesh is ideal for products requiring better airflow penetration and bottom shrinkage, such as beverage multipacks. Teflon mesh is preferred for lightweight cartons or products requiring a non-stick conveying surface.
Q: Is this machine suitable for 24-hour operation?
A: The TY-6040 is designed for continuous industrial operation with high-capacity heating elements, dual centrifugal blowers, and stable temperature control for long production runs.
