This two-for-one deal makes it a perfect fit for modern businesses gunning for sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Efficiency of Shrink Wrap Heat Tunnels
In packaging, shrink-wrap heat tunnels like the ones we're discussing offer precise control over the shrinking process. These machines use Hapco Bak hot air blowers, which have variable temperature and airflow settings. This allows them to adapt easily to different product sizes up to 10 inches in diameter and 19 inches tall, ensuring an even shrink fit every time without overheating or damaging the package inside.
The adjustable nozzles can be directed for a 360° coverage, fitting various product heights and depths perfectly. The stainless steel double wall of the heating chamber ensures consistent heat all around your products. This minimizes uneven wrapping and damage while enhancing safety with minimal surface heating on the tunnel itself.
This setup showcases flexibility and efficiency. It is compatible with any existing conveyor system equipped with a stainless-steel belt or high-temperature belt and is flexible. This technology creates an ideal environment for shrinkage across diverse sleeve materials, from thin (35 microns) labels to thicker options (60 microns). It's efficient for both neck bands and full-body sleeves, making it a crucial asset in modern packaging lines.
Cost Comparison between Packaging Methods
When you weigh the costs of shrink wrap heat tunnels, think about efficiency and precision. GLOBALTEK®'s stainless steel construction ensures durability for industries like food and pharma. Its design perfectly shrinks film around packages or sleeves on containers using four Hapco Bak hot air blowers.
These have adjustable nozzles to match product sizes up to 10 inches in diameter by 19 inches tall, guaranteeing an even shrink rate without overheating. It mounts seamlessly onto any existing conveyor system, minimizing additional investments while maintaining quality packing standards.
Speed Advantages with GLOBALTEK® Systems
In optimizing packaging, speed pairs with precision. GLOBALTEK's heat tunnel exemplifies this by using four specialized hot air blowers. These units are adjustable, granting a tailor-made fit for various product sizes.
With its unique 360-degree nozzles, it delivers even heat around your items, whether they're tall or short, ensuring consistent shrink quality across different shapes and dimensions. The construction of the heating chamber is another highlight—it features stainless steel double walls that maintain internal temperature without making the exterior too hot to touch. This design choice not only boosts safety but also enhances efficiency during operation.
Moreover, reliability isn't left to chance; tight-seal brush bristles coupled with a silicone-coated curtain minimize heat escape and optimize shrinking rate evenly on all sides of your packages—essential for quick throughput without compromising finish integrity.
Versatility of Alternative Packaging Techniques
In alternative packaging, versatility shines with materials like polyolefin and polyethylene wraps. Polyolefin is the go-to for its robustness, resisting punctures and tears effectively. It ensures products stay sealed longer.
On the other hand, while PVC offers similar durability at a lower cost, it demands caution due to chemicals that need airy spaces for safe use. Then there's polyethylene—though pricier than PVC, it excels in guarding bulky items and allows brand-centric custom designs on packages. Beyond material choice lie application techniques critical for efficiency.
Lap sealers work wonders with single-wound film for quick wrapping jobs, showing off product branding beautifully through lean seals or customized films. Bar seal style machines bring flexibility across various packing needs—be they just wrap or trays too—with both auto and semi-auto variants adapting to your output levels seamlessly. Lastly, bundlers merge multiple units into one using thicker films, an asset when creating packs of food or drinks without heat sealing processes as required by stretch wrap alternatives.
These methods highlight key strengths in shrink-wrapping approaches: superior protection against contaminants and waterproof advantages. They maintain product integrity efficiently during transit or storage, delivering consistent sealing outcomes and fostering stable loads without needing heat elements.
Energy Consumption Analysis
When analyzing energy consumption, focus on the GLOBALTEK® heat tunnel's specifics. It uses four Hapco Bak hot air blowers. These are crucial as they consume 3700W power each at 230V.
Their efficiency comes from adjustable nozzles that cover a product's height and depth precisely, reducing wasted energy. The machine's variable temperature and airflow settings let you optimize for different shrink sleeve materials and thicknesses ranging from 35 to 60 microns without overheating or excess use of power. Its design suits containers up to a sizeable 10 inches in diameter by 19 inches tall.
A notable feature is its stainless steel double wall heating chamber with tight-seal brush bristles. It also has a silicone-coated fiberglass curtain designed to trap heat efficiently while keeping the exterior cool.
