A shrink tunnel provides the final, critical step in achieving a skin-tight, vacuum-sealed bag.
01 Overview
A shrink tunnel provides the final, critical step in achieving a skin-tight, vacuum-sealed bag.
CRYOVAC® brand shrink tunnels are part of the automated process that provides a skin-tight final package. When combined with our CRYOVAC® brand shrink bags, the end result is a better protected and more visually appealing product. For applications that require cooling prior to distribution or the next process step, we also offer a chill tunnel that removes heat immediately after the shrink process.

Hot Water Shrink Tunnels
CRYOVAC® brand hot water shrink tunnels provide a finishing step for food products that have been vacuum sealed into CRYOVAC® brand shrink bags. Using water that is pre-heated either by electricity or steam, the shrink process also serves to toughen the package material as well as provide a skin-tight fit that helps preserve colour and reduce purge.
Cold Water Chill Tunnels
Packaged food products that may be prone to bacterial growth or discolouration after exposure to heat should be re-chilled as quickly as possible after shrink. CRYOVAC® brand cold water chillers provide this critical step that is designed for use in USDA-inspected plants, as well as operations that export pork products to Japan.
