The LX-150 can be rolled up to any conveyor to provide accurate shrink sleeve placement up to 300 products per minute. The system’s robust Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) design and construction provides for non-stop operation, while its’ standard dual unwind system allows continued operation with only a brief splicing stop.
LX 350
High-Speed Shrink Sleeve & Tamper-Evident Band Applicator
The LX-350 is a premium range shrink sleeve machine designed for high volume production rates and is a perfect solution for industries including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, health and beauty, consumer goods, chemical, and other manufactured goods.
The LX-350 has been engineered to handle oval and round containers made of plastic, glass, or metal at speeds up to 500 containers per minute. Users also have the option of purchasing additional mandrels for non-cylindrical containers. The multiple blade rotational cutting mechanism provides extremely smooth, even cutting of film ranging from 35 microns up to 70 microns.
WSN-GEN S
Steam Heat Tunnel
The WSN Series includes two machine models, the WSN-300-2M and the larger WSN-300-3M steam heat tunnel. WSN Series shrink tunnel series is built to meet the most demanding applications of you 24/7 packaging operations. Versatile and efficiet design allow you to take on a wide variety of shrink sleeve packaging applications while keeping your energy costs low.
Multiple steam zones and independently adjustable manifolds allows the WSN shrink tunnels to direct the steam heat precisely where it is needed to produce perfect PVC, PETG, OPS, and PLA label wraps and neck bands.
WSN-GEN S
Steam Heat Tunnel w/ Integrated Steam Generator
The WSN-GEN S is an all-in-one tunnel that includes its own steam generator. The WSN-GEN S is designed for simple setup where in-plant steam generation isn’t readily available.
The GEN S tunnel utilizes a 9” tall and 5” wide opening to accommodate a number of shrink sleeve products including middle, full body, and full body and cap shrink applications. . The four (4) independently adjustable steam manifolds direct steam horizontally, vertically, or radially to ensure uniform heat distribution. Changing containers or labels isn’t an issue – tier adjustments and controls are done from the operator side of the tunnel, making adjustments safe, quick and easy.
ES-200
Electric Heat Tunnel
The ES-200 Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel comes equipped with two independent VFD air flow controls that allow the air flow in each of the two zones to be regulated separately. The almost infinite air flow adjustment paired with accurate, consistent digital temperature control and adjustable air delivery louvers make the ES-200 an extremely versatile shrink tunnel.
Motorized height control makes installation easy and can be completed in minutes using standard tools to have you up and running, saving your company money and increasing your ROI. Due to its versatility and reliability, the ES-200 Electric Heat Tunnel is also ideal for the changing needs of contract packagers
OAL Classic
Radiant Heat Tunnel
The OAL Classic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel is a versatile and accurate recirculating heat tunnel with high efficiency blowers, adjustable heater element locations, and digital time proportional temperature control with a solid state contactor. The adjustable IR heater element locations allow the tunnel to be set up for a wide variety of applications.
Motorized height control makes installation quick and easy; setup and changeover can be completed in minutes. The Operator side controls are conveniently placed for ease of adjustments.
GS Series
Radiant Heat Tunnel for Shrink Band
Engineered for tamper-evident shrink band applications, the GS Series has two models: the GS-100 and the smaller GS-75 for narrower neck applications. GS tunnels are designed to be compact and
easy-to-operate additions to your existing shrink band applications.
The GS-75 and GS-100 utilize two temperature control regulators for accurate dual heat bank settings and precise band shrinking. Tunnel temperatures reach up to 482F and are monitored by an external settings control to provide even heat distribution through out the chamber.
