Heat shrink tunnels shrink pre-applied films to seal packages, trays and bottles. Containers pass through the tunnel on a conveyor. There are three types of heat shrink tunnels: recirculating, infrared, and stream. In the recirculating tunnel, heated air circulates through the tunnel and it shrinks the plastic film around the product protecting it from air and moisture. Often the heat... Read more

Supply Conveyors
The supply hopper is located above the bagging scale is about 14’ above the floor. Often a supply conveyor, sometimes called feed conveyor, is needed to get the processed product up and into the supply hopper. Feed conveyors can be supplied from a variety of upstream process equipment (i.e. mixers, blenders, dryers) or bulk bags (FIBC). Most supply conveyors require... Read more
Belt Supply Conveyors
Belt supply conveyors can be used if the product is a pellet or chunks. Often cleats and/or side rails are added to contain the product. Since the belt is flat, belt conveyors usually require most floor space. To reach 14’ high, a 45 degree incline conveyor is 20’ long and requires at least 14’ floor space. Video of a belt...
