A thermal system used to eliminate air bubbles that may remain in vacuum-packed cheese and to extend the shelf life of the packaged product. The shrink tunnel applies controlled heat to shrink the packaging film tightly around the product, ensuring a smooth, compact finish. Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, it offers efficient heat distribution, adjustable tunnel temperature, and compatibility with various vacuum and sealing machines in dairy processing.

Specifications

• Purpose: Applied heat tunnel for shrinking film or sleeves around packaged products to create a tight and protective seal.
• Conveyor System: Includes mesh belt or roller conveyor to smoothly transport items through the tunnel.
• Heat Source: Electric heating elements, infrared heaters, or hot air blowers generate controlled heat to shrink packaging.
• Temperature Control: Equipped with PID-based temperature controls to maintain consistent shrink temperatures.
• Airflow System: Forced air circulation ensures even heat distribution and consistent shrinkage.
• Adjustability: Adjustable conveyor speed, temperature settings, and airflow intensity for different package sizes and film types.
• Cooling Zone: Optional integrated zone to cool the film post-shrinking, stabilizing the wrap.
• Material: Constructed in food-grade stainless steel (e.g. AISI 304) for durability and hygiene.
• Safety Features: Emergency stops and thermal protection integrated into chassis design.
• Compliance: Designed to meet industry hygienic and packaging standards.
