The SRT-2500 Electric Heat Tunnel
- Ideal for users who prefer the lower maintenance and
easier startup/shutdown of an electric tunnel - Ideal for sleeving powdered products where steam or
moisture is an issue - Ideal for sleeving empty containers where steam and
moisture isn’t an option - Ideal for blow molders and the changing needs of
contract packagers
The SRT-2500 Electric Steam Replacement Tunnel for shrink
sleeve labeling applications from American Film &
Machinery is designed for middle, full body, and full body
and cap shrink applications. SRT-2500 doesn’t require steam
and is a perfect addition to shrink labeling lines in
manufactured goods industries including food and
beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, health and beauty,
consumer goods, and chemical products.
AFM’s SRT-2500 is the perfect answer for shrink sleeve labeling applications where steam tunnels are not an option. SRT-2500 utilizes electric heat to provide steam results without using steam. The system comes equipped with three independent shrink zones that allow airflow in each zone to be regulated separately. Zone One is for mild heat and general softening, Zone Two is for more intense overall heat, and Zone Three is for very intense, abrupt heat from all sides for fast and even shrinking. As a result, the SRT-2500 provides optimal shrink control and a high-quality finish on several films including PVC, PET, and OPS.
Easy to use control panel allows users to adjust for their specific application
Air flow can be regulated separately in each zone to produce a high quality finish
High quality electric heating elements provide uniform heat distribution
Positive shrinking on most PVC, PET, and OPS films
- Designed to shrink most PVC, polyethylene, and OPS
shrink films - No requirement for an external steam boiler or expensive
infrastructure to utilize in plant steam - No maintenance associated with steam boiler like daily
blowdown procedure or boiler clean out - Fast response time – simply let tunnel heat up and be
ready to operate - 18.9kW heater with adjustable temperature control for a
variety of films - Tunnel temperature range between room temperature
and 446°F (230°C) - High velocity blower motors circulate air volume inside
tunnel - Variable air flow and air velocity can be adjusted in each
zone for a variety of products and applications - Conveyor speed up to 100 feet per minute (30.5 m/min)
- Heavy duty casters and leveling pads for transportation
within plant - Easy to use design requires minimal training,
maintenance, and trouble-free operation
