Electric Shrink Tunnel Machines for Industrial Packaging
Electric shrink tunnel machines provide consistent and uniform shrink wrapping for bottles, cartons, trays, and multipacks. Featuring precision temperature control and optimized hot air circulation, they deliver clean, professional packaging results for automated production lines.
Product Overview
Our electric shrink tunnels use forced hot air circulation to achieve consistent and uniform shrink results. Electric heating elements heat the circulating air, while high-efficiency centrifugal fans distribute it evenly throughout the tunnel chamber.
Working Principle
Heated air is continuously recirculated throughout the tunnel to maintain uniform temperatures and ensure consistent shrink results.
Conveyor Heating System
Depending on the application, electric shrink tunnels may use U-shaped stainless steel heating elements for concentrated heat transfer or straight heating elements for extended heating zones..
Applications Overview
Suitable for medium- to high-speed packaging lines in the food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries.
Electric Shrink Tunnel Machine Types
To meet diverse industrial requirements, we offer three primary configurations of electric systems:
High-Performance Shrink Tunnels (TY-5030)
Designed for retail-ready packaging, these tunnels utilize powerful centrifugal air circulation to minimize wrinkles and deliver excellent shrink quality for POF and PVC films.
- POF & PVC Compatible
- Wrinkle-Free Shrinking
- High-Speed Production
Extended Electric Shrink Tunnel(TY-4525)
1500mm extended chamber with 12 heating tubes for efficient POF and PVC shrink wrapping up to 2,400 pieces/hour.
- Extended Heating Zone
- Continuous Operation
- Cost-Effective Solution
PE Film Industrial Shrink Tunnels(TY-6050)
Engineered specifically for thick PE shrink films, these tunnels incorporate side-mounted heating systems and dedicated cooling sections to achieve strong, uniform seals.
- PE Film Compatible
- Side Heating Design
- Industrial Applications
Основные характеристики
Integration of Omron and Schneider components ensures a precision variance of only ±1-2°C, preventing film damage.
High-temperature resistant silicone-coated iron rollers support up to 20kg. For PE film, we offer non-rotating rods or iron-rod mesh belts to prevent sticky film from wrapping around rollers.
Powerful motors (up to 1500W-2000W) ensure air reaches all sides of the product, including the bottom.
The TY-5030 features an openable structure for easy internal cleaning, while all models include a pre-stop function to protect motors during shutdown.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What is an electric shrink tunnel?
An electric shrink tunnel is an industrial packaging machine that uses electric heating elements and forced-air convection to shrink plastic films, such as POF, PVC, or PE, tightly and uniformly around products.
Equipped with precise temperature control systems and high-efficiency fans, it provides stable heat distribution for consistent shrink results.
Electric shrink tunnels are widely used in automated and semi-automatic packaging lines for retail, food, cosmetics, electronics, and industrial products.
What shrink films can be used with an electric shrink tunnel?
Electric shrink tunnels are compatible with common shrink films including POF, PVC, and PE films.
The suitable film depends on product size, packaging requirements, and production speed.
How do I choose the right shrink tunnel model?
The suitable model depends on product dimensions, film type, required temperature, and production capacity.
Our engineers can recommend the right configuration based on your packaging requirements.
Can the shrink tunnel be integrated into an automatic packaging line?
Yes. Conveyor shrink tunnels can be integrated with L-bar sealers, sleeve wrappers, and other automatic packaging equipment to create a complete shrink wrapping solution.
