Automatic Shrink Sleeve Machine with Steam (Heat) Tunnel

Home|Automatic Shrink Sleeve Machine with Steam (Heat) Tunnel

Introduction

Barvaya Pvt. Ltd., based in Ahmedabad, India, is a renowned manufacturer of comprehensive packaging machinery, including filling, capping, and labeling solutions. Among their standout offerings is the Automatic Shrink Sleeve Applicator paired with a Steam or Heat Tunnel—a powerful tool for achieving sleek, tamper-evident packaging.


What It Does

This machine is engineered to apply full-body or neck-band shrink sleeves precisely around containers using PVC, PET G, OPS, or PLA materials. After the sleeves are placed, containers move through a steam or heat tunnel—ensuring the sleeve shrinks uniformly, resulting in a wrinkle-free, snug fit that enhances both appearance and tamper evidence.


Key Features & Specifications

  • High-Speed Performance: Operates between 100–300 bottles per minute, with adaptability depending on container size and shape.
  • Versatile Container Compatibility: Handles round, square, oval, and custom-designed bottles and jars.
  • Advanced Control Systems: Utilizes servo-driven mechanisms for accurate sleeve cutting and feed, combined with PLC control and HMI touchscreen for intuitive operation, recipe storage, and quick changeovers.
  • Hygienic Construction: Crafted from SS 304 / 316, ensures compatibility with GMP environments and cleanroom standards.
  • Smart Sensors: Features “no-bottle-no-sleeve” detection systems to reduce material waste.
  • Adjustable Tunnel Options: Offers choice between steam or electric hot air tunnels, tailored to operational preferences and product sensitivity. Tunnel lengths range from 1.5 to 3 meters, depending on production needs.
  • Customizable Configuration: Compatible with various sleeve materials (PVC, PET-G, OPS, PLA), sleeve thicknesses, power options, and more.

How It Works

  • Bottle Feeding: Containers are fed into the system via a conveyor.
  • Sleeve Dispensing: Sleeve film is unwound, precisely cut, and placed over bottles via a servo-driven knife system.
  • Placement & Shrinking: The sleeve is dropped at the correct position—full body or neck—and shrunk using hot steam or air in the tunnel.
  • Finished Product: Bottles exit the tunnel with tight, wrinkle-free sleeves, ready for packing or labeling.

Typical Use Cases

  • Full-body decorative wraps
  • Tamper-evident neck bands
  • Promotional sleeve wraps
  • Custom containers—like beverages, shampoos, medicines, syrups, dairy, and even agrochemicals—benefit from this solution.
