Whitepaper: All About Heat Shrink Tunnels

A heat tunnel, sometimes called a shrink tunnel, is an enclosed area that applies heat to an object. Heat tunnels are generally found above or enveloping a section of conveyor belt to allow for automated travel through the tunnel. The primary use for a heat tunnel is the activation of heat shrink labels and tamper bands on a container; however, they are also used to cure paints and heat parts.

We'll take you through: 

• Different types of heat tunnels available
• Their advantages and disadvantages
• Common complications encountered when shrinking
