L sealer with shrink tunnel UK

Why the sealer and tunnel must match

A strong L seal will not produce a clean pack if the tunnel is too small, too short or too slow for the product. The tunnel aperture, belt speed and airflow need to match the seal output and film type.

FAQ

L sealer with shrink tunnel UK FAQs

What does the shrink tunnel do?

The tunnel applies controlled heat after the film is sealed so the film tightens around the product.

Can the tunnel be used with different film?

Tunnel temperature, belt speed and airflow can usually be adjusted, but POF and PE film behave differently and must be checked.

What information do you need before quoting?

Product size, pack weight, film type, required output and available site space are the most useful details.
