Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicator with Shrink Tunnel Machine
The Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicator with Shrink Tunnel Machine is a highperformance labeling solution designed to apply PVC, PET-G, OPS, or PLA shrink sleeves on a variety of containers—round, square, oval, or uniquely shaped bottles and jars. This system is widely used across beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, dairy, nutraceutical, and FMCG industries for full-body shrink labeling or tamper-evident neck banding.

This machine provides precise sleeve placement, followed by a high-efficiency heat tunnel that shrinks the sleeve uniformly around the container, ensuring a wrinkle-free, tight fit that enhances shelf appeal and provides tamper evidence.

SALIENT FEATURES :

SS 304 body structure and MS base plate with SS cladding or hard chrome plating of all exposed parts to ensure long life and resistance against corrosion.
SS frame structure with acrylic doors.
Elegantly designed and constructed to meet the customer’s requirements.
The machine comes with either steam or electric shrink tunnel (optional), which shrinks the sleeves.
The sleeve cutting head is driven by a servo motor for more stable and precise cutting of sleeves.
Suitable for applying tamper-evident bands, partial or full-body sleeves, and bottle cap & neck sleeves.
PLC with HMI touch screen for all operational controls.
SS-304 slat bottom conveyor with VFD for speed control.

Working Principle

Bottle Feeding: Bottles are automatically fed through a synchronized conveyor.
Sleeve Dispensing: A roll of shrink sleeve film is unwound, cut to length, and applied over the bottle using a servo-controlled knife system.
Sleeve Placement: The sleeve is dropped over the bottle at the designated position (full or partial body).
Shrink Tunnel Operation: Bottles pass through a heat shrink tunnel (electric or steam), where the sleeve shrinks and tightly conforms to the bottle shape.
Discharge: Finished bottles exit the tunnel and are ready for packing or labeling.
