What we do at STANMECHAt STANMECH we are committed to building the right solution for your unique application. We've built solutions for countless problems over our more than 30 years in business. Our unique technical know-how in heat and air behaviour is our greatest asset. We use experiments, thermal calculations, and computational modelling to design a solution that we know will work. Let us build the solution to your problem. We are your application problem solvers.

How we do itWe start by talking with you to define the problem at hand. Then, we physically simulate your process or use thermal and fluid calculations to better understand how your products will react to heat and moving air. For more complex problems, we utilize computational modelling to help us test design concepts. We select equipment and create custom systems based on the needs of your individual problem.

Customer Highlight: The Perfect Wrap
A manufacturer came to STANMECH with a common problem: shrinking full body labels onto bottles. They had high requirements, including the ability to run multiple bottle sizes through the same system, a problematic shrink film material, and a line speed of 30 bottles per minute. STANMECH engineered a custom heat tunnel system including a full control package. This custom designed and built system resulted in perfect labels, a lower rejection rate, and improved productivity for the customer.

5 Biggest Mistakes Made When Designing a Hot Air System
The five biggest mistakes people make when designed a hot air system and how to avoid them.
The Effect of Bottle Shape on Shrink Quality
With the advent of full bottle shrink labels marketers have had a new world of packaging options open up to them. Never before has it been so easy for small producers to compete for attention on the shelf. Hand-in-hand with shrink labels’ popularity has been the increasing complexity of the shape and design of containers.
All-in-one Tools are not One-size-fits-all!
Here at STANMECH, one of our most common customer requests is for the HOTWIND hot air blower. The HOTWIND is a well-designed combination heater/blower and it works extremely well in the right application. The attraction is obvious: it's everything you need in a compact package, it is capable of reaching the target temperature you require, and it looks more affordable because it’s only one unit rather than two.
Common Shrink Label Problems and their Solutions
The hallmarks of a bad shrinking job are easy to spot. Wrinkling, rising, dimpling, tearing and uneven shrinking drive packagers nuts and can put off potential customers. Read on to discover possible causes and solutions to the most common problems with shrink labels facing packagers.
