When this search applies

Outfeed handling affects shrink finish, cooling time and how products are packed after the heat tunnel.

  • Smooth transfer from seal to tunnel
  • Cooling and accumulation after shrink
  • Reduced pack disturbance
  • Better operator handling

Why outfeed design matters

Poor transfer after sealing can damage film or disturb product position before the pack enters the tunnel. Outfeed design should match product stability and tunnel speed.

After the tunnel

Some packs need cooling, accumulation or gentle handling before they are packed into cartons or moved to a downstream label or inspection process.
