Shrink Wrap Machines
Shrink wrap machines seal film around a product and then apply heat so the film contracts tightly to its shape; the category includes L-sealers, shrink tunnels, shrink chambers and combined seal-and-shrink systems. They rely on heat, not the mechanical tension used by pallet wrappers. Select by architecture, compatible film (polyolefin or polyethylene), temperature and conveyor control, automation level and power requirements.

About this category
Shrink wrap machines are machinery and integrated equipment designed to support compatible shrink-film packaging processes in which the film is subjected to controlled process conditions that produce material contraction according to the film and equipment system. The category may include several architectures at a generic level, including L-sealers that seal the film around the product, shrink tunnels in which products pass through a heated zone, integrated shrink chambers, and combined sealing-and-shrink systems; a single architecture should not be assumed across the category. Models differ in temperature-control, conveyance and automation level according to design. Models differ in compatible film system between polyolefin, polyethylene and other films depending on design; compatibility of a single film with every machine should not be assumed. A strict distinction must be maintained between thermal shrink wrapping, which relies on heat application, and stretch pallet wrapping with stretch film, which relies on mechanical tension; the two systems are fundamentally distinct. Numeric tunnel-temperature, dwell-time, conveyor-speed or sealing-degree values are not assumed across the category. Stretch pallet wrappers and consumable packaging films are excluded from this category. Buyers select shrink-wrap-machine models based on architecture, sealing system, compatible film, automation level, and power and installation requirements.
