Hot water shrink tunnel for packaging

Enhance your packaging line efficiency by seamlessly integrating a hot water shrink tunnel, ensuring consistent quality and precise wrapping for vacuum-packed food products.

Automates Shrink Wrapping for Packaged Foods

The Saccardo Hot Water Shrink Tunnel TU800, offered by StarVac Systems, is engineered to revolutionize food packaging operations. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this shrink tunnel minimizes heat loss via its insulated design, optimizing energy use and operational efficiency. Ideal for packaging a variety of vacuum-sealed products—from steaks to tofu blocks—the TU800 enhances production line automation with features like PLC control and customizable conveyor speed. Its continuous, automated cycle is capable of handling high volumes, making it suitable for food packaging companies and meat processing plants. The TU800 employs an electronic temperature control system and supports water heating via electrical resistance or optional steam injection, ensuring precise shrink wrapping. Automatic load and unload functions, coupled with water level and replenishing automation, further streamline the shrink wrapping process, seamlessly integrating into existing high-productivity packaging lines.
