Compltete Guide to Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicator Machines
The Shrink Sleeve Applicator Machine is the new technology to hit the industry. As a result of the technology involved in the handling of shrink sleeves, as well as in the heat operation, the most stringent and eloquent fitting applications of shrink sleeves can be faced and can be effectively planned on any shape and size of the desired container. These Automatic Shrink Sleeve Machines are used in various types of industries such as food and beverage, personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to all the flexibility and efficiency qualities they possess.
How do Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicators work?
Feeding & Cutting: Sleeves of shrink labels are fed from a roll and are cut to the required length.
Application: The cut sleeve is placed over the container.
Shrinking: The container passes through a heat tunnel (steam or electric), where the label shrinks tightly around the product.
Final Output: The labeled container moves to the next stage of packaging. The working principle of the Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicators
The operational process initiates with the supply of a continuous sleeve in a roll from which it will be unrolled and passed into the forming tube through rollers, which open and prepare the sleeves during its cut. The rotating blade system cuts the sleeve to a suitable length, label elements are positioned onto the product, and subsequently, the product now passes into the steam or electric shrinking tunnel, giving the ability of perfectly collapse the sleeve along the contour of the container.
