Polyethylene Shrink Tunnels
Shanklin Models: T-8PR and T-9PR


Superior Shrinks on Polyethylene Films

T-8PR Polyethylene Shrink Tunnel

Different types of shrink film require shrink tunnels designed to handle them with ease and efficiency. Our Poly Shrink Tunnels are engineered to produce superior shrinks with polyethylene films. We highly recommend them for use with our line of Shanklin Sleeve Wrappers.

  • Ingenious air flow system ensures that sleeve-wrapped packages are sealed securely on all corners.
  • Fully controllable air temperature and velocity maximizes heat transfer to the film while inimizing blowing and smearing of the soft polyethylene film during shrinking.
  • Features an annealing chamber following the shrinking chamber and a cooling fan to allow polyethylene film to set prior to handling.
