What is a horizontal heat shrink wrap machine? 

A horizontal heat shrink wrap machine is a regular pillow type of packaging equipment. It uses heat shrinkable film as packaging material. It shrinks the film tightly against the product’s surface by heating, thereby protecting and decorating it.

Application scope of pillow type heat shrink packaging machine:

Pillow heat shrink machines are suitable for single, collective, or combined packaging of food, beverages, medicines, daily chemicals, hardware, wood products, stationery, printed products, plastic products, glass products, electronic components, etc. The shrink-wrapped products are not only beautiful and elegant, saving packaging costs, but also suitable for promotional combination packaging, etc., and well-sealed, dust-proof, moisture-proof, and anti-theft.

The working principle of pillow type heat shrink packaging machine.

Pillow type heat shrinkable film wrapping machine usually consists of heating device, conveying device, control system and sealing device. Its working principle is: wrap the heat shrink film on the product, heat it to a certain temperature through a heating device to cause it to shrink, and finally fix it on the product’s surface through cooling.

During the working process of the pillow type heat shrink wrap machine, its core component is the heating system. The system consists of one or more thermocouples, heaters, and insulation. The thermocouple measures the temperature of the packaging object, the heater transfers heat energy to the packaging object, and the insulation layer keeps the temperature of the packaging object stable to ensure the stability and consistency of the shrinkage process.

In addition to the heating system, the pillow shrink packaging machine also has a conveying system for conveying the packaged objects into the heater. The conveyor belt is the system’s core component, which can transport packaging objects to designated locations and send them out after heating. We can adjust the speed of the conveyor belt to fit packaging objects of different sizes and shapes.

The operation process of the pillow type heat shrink tunnel machine is very simple. First, Place the objects on the conveyor belt. Then, we adjust the temperature of the heater and the speed of the conveyor belt; we get the best shrinkage effect. After shrinking is complete, the packaged objects are sent out and collected.

Features of pillow type heat shrink packaging machine.

1. Simple operation, HMI control system PLC intelligent control + full servo motor drives for stable operation. Packaging is fast.

2. With an anti-cut safety clutch device, it will not damage the packaging. High-sensitivity photoelectric eye color mark tracking and digital input of sealing and cutting position, making the sealing and cutting position more accurate.

3. Independent PID control of temperature, better suitable for various coating materials, with positioning stop function, no knife sticking, and no waste of film.

4. The transmission system is simple, the work is more reliable, and the maintenance and repair are more convenient. With automatic reversal protection when cutting the product. Turn the machine on directly after restarting.

5. Add a waste recycling device to make the packaging look more beautiful and save material compared with the traditional folding film packaging machine.

6. Can be equipped with a coding machine or inkjet printer. It can be used as a single machine or in a parallel assembly line. It can realize automatic feeding, storing, and packaging of materials.

7. It has motor brake control, and the equipment is responsive. We can customize the machine to fit the customers’ different products. The operating speed can reach 60-150 packages/minute.

8. The shrinking machine adopts automatic constant temperature, extended and high-efficiency dual temperature zones, hot air circulation with large air volume, uniform temperature in the furnace cavity, and good shrink packaging effect.
