Shrink machines are machines that allow products to be compressed with heat by placing a plastic film on them. This process is used to package and protect products. Here are the general features of shrink machines:
Working Principle:
Plastic Film Usage: The machine generally puts thermoformable plastic films such as polyethylene or polypropylene on the products.
Heating Process: After the film is placed on the product, it is heated and compressed and wrapped around the product.
Machine Types:
Manual and Automatic: In manual machines, operators manually place the film and start the heating process. In automatic machines, these processes generally occur more automatically.
Tunnel Type and Table Top Machines: Tunnel type machines are large tunnels that can contain the products. Table top machines are more compact machines used in small-scale jobs.
Features:
Temperature Control: There are adjustable temperature control systems. This provides the possibility of determining the appropriate temperature for different products and films.
Speed Adjustment: Adjustable speed allows products to be compressed at different speeds.
Film Thickness and Dimensions: They can work with plastic films of different thicknesses and sizes.
Ease of Use: Provides simple use thanks to user-friendly interfaces and easily accessible controls.
Scope of application:
Food Industry: Packaged food products, bottled beverages, cans, etc.
Industrial Products: Packaging of industrial products such as books, toys, household goods.
Advantages:
It offers a fast and effective method for packaging products in bulk.
The protection provided by packaging prevents products from being damaged during transportation and storage processes.
It provides an aesthetic appearance and makes the products attract attention.
Shrink machines accelerate packaging processes, ensure the packaging of products and offer protection. Which type of machine to use is chosen depending on the type of products to be packaged and the packaging needs.
