Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine Manufacturer & Supplier In Ghana

Advanced Shrink Sleeve Finishing for Ghanaian Manufacturers

Shrink sleeve labeling has become a preferred packaging method for modern brands due to its 360-degree product coverage, tamper evidence, and premium shelf appeal. To achieve a flawless sleeve finish, a reliable heat shrink tunnel is essential. The Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine manufactured by Technogen Enterprise is engineered to deliver uniform, consistent, and high-speed shrink sleeve application for round plastic containers across Ghana’s growing packaging sector.

This machine is widely adopted by beverage, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and FMCG manufacturers operating in industrial regions such as Accra, Tema, Kumasi, and Takoradi. Its electric heating technology, hygienic construction, and controlled airflow system make it suitable for continuous production environments where quality and consistency are non-negotiable.

Purpose of an Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel

An electric heat shrink tunnel is used after manual or automatic sleeve placement on containers. Once the sleeve label is positioned over the bottle or container, it must be uniformly heated so that it shrinks tightly around the container’s body, conforming perfectly to its shape.

The Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine performs this function by circulating controlled, superheated air around the container as it passes through the tunnel. This process ensures wrinkle-free, bubble-free, and visually appealing shrink sleeve labeling, which is essential for brand presentation and tamper-evidence in Ghana’s competitive retail market.

Designed for Shrink Sleeve Labeling Applications

The TGEHT-100 model is specifically designed for shrinking sleeve labels applied on the body of round plastic containers. It supports a wide range of commonly used sleeve materials including PVC, PP, PETG, and OPS films.

With achievable speeds of up to 100 containers per minute, depending on bottle dimensions, this shrink tunnel integrates seamlessly with upstream sleeve applicators or manual sleeve loading stations. This makes it suitable for medium to high-volume production lines where efficiency and finish quality are equally important.

Forced Convection Heating for Uniform Shrinking

One of the key strengths of this electric heat shrink tunnel is its forced convection heating method. The tunnel is equipped with superior pin heaters that elevate the internal air temperature to the required level. Two powerful blower assemblies then circulate this heated air uniformly throughout the tunnel chamber.

This forced convection system ensures even heat distribution around each container, eliminating uneven shrinking, burn marks, or incomplete sleeve adhesion. Uniform airflow is particularly important when working with different sleeve film materials and varying bottle diameters commonly used by Ghanaian manufacturers.

Controlled Temperature for Process Stability

Temperature stability is critical in shrink sleeve applications. Excessive heat can distort containers or damage labels, while insufficient heat leads to poor shrink quality. The Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine includes a precise temperature controller that allows operators to adjust tunnel temperature up to 250°C.

This level of control enables fine-tuning of the shrinking process based on container size, sleeve material, and production speed. Operators can maintain consistent quality across batches, reducing rejection rates and material wastage.

Hygienic Conveyor Design with Speed Control

Containers are fed into the tunnel using an AISI 304 stainless steel slat conveyor, ensuring hygienic handling and long service life. Stainless steel construction makes the conveyor resistant to corrosion and easy to clean, which is especially important for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging operations in Ghana.

The conveyor speed can be adjusted via a speed control port on the operating panel, allowing synchronization with upstream sleeve applicators or manual feeding rates. This flexibility helps maintain smooth container flow and prevents congestion at the tunnel entrance.

Simple Operation with High Reliability

The operating principle of the machine is straightforward. Sleeve labels are manually placed on containers, which are then loaded onto the conveyor. As containers move through the tunnel, heated air circulates uniformly, shrinking the sleeve onto the container body.

This simplicity makes the machine easy to operate and maintain, while still delivering industrial-grade performance. Its robust construction and proven heating technology ensure reliable operation even during extended production shifts common in Ghana’s manufacturing plants.
