Automated and Hot Water Shrink Tunnels

Hot water shrink for vacuum-sealed food packaging provides a skin-tight appearance with added durability.

 

Enhances Durability
The shrinking process of a vacuumed bag creates a secure seal around food and helps toughen the strengthen the film.

Operational Match
We offer a variety of shrink tunnel types based on operational variation including speed, product types, energy use, automation and connectivity.

Ensure your products maintain their freshness and quality with CRYOVAC® brand Shrink Tunnels.

 

Designed for use in USDA-inspected plants as well as operations that focus on export markets, these tunnels produce a durable package with skintight seals, enhancing product integrity throughout distribution.

We design our shrink tunnels to utilize hot water heated by either steam or electricity, optimized to match the maximum speed of an attached rotary vacuum chamber system. This feature ensures an efficient and continuous production line, maximizing your operational efficiency. Our shrink equipment provides this critical step in USDA-inspected plants as well as operations that focus on export markets.

Our state-of-the-art CRYOVAC® brand TS200 features an energy-efficient electric heating unit with steam recovery and an intuitive color touchscreen control panel. This innovative model is part of a comprehensive 3-piece system, which includes the TC200 for chilling and the TD200 for drying. Together, they create an automated vacuum packaging finishing solution that sets the industry standard for efficient protein packaging solutions.

Features and Benefits

  • Model options offer choice of heat source to match your operational footprint
  • Speed matched to maximum speed of rotary vacuum system for optimal throughput
  • Freestanding or can be connected to chilling and drying tunnels

Frequently Asked Questions

The selection of the right type of shrink tunnel depends on your operation. Product type, speed, floor space, connectivity, and automation options all figure into the decision. While the heat source is just one of the considerations, the production (and loss) of heat in hot water shrink tunnel can create humidity in the work environment and elevate utility costs – so it’s important to consider your operating environment carefully before deciding.

Shrink tunnel technology has been around for a long time without a lot of significant changes in energy management. We understand the impact today’s energy costs have on packaging operations, so we designed the new TS200 AutoShrink Tunnel with an energy-efficient electric heating unit and steam recovery system to help lessen operational utility loads.

CRYOVAC® brand fully integrated packaging solutions combine innovative materials, equipment, and services to deliver operational and workforce efficiency to protein processors. By linking components that include label printers, shrink bags, robotic bag loading, vacuum equipment, and shrink tunnels supported by our outstanding technical service and AMP preventive maintenance, processors will see substantial improvement in throughput, package quality, labor utilization, and waste reduction.
