The demand for sleeve-wrapping and shrink-labeling solutions in the UAE continues to increase across industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, personal care, and household products. To support these high-growth sectors, Technogen Enterprise offers the Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine, a high-performance system designed to deliver exceptional shrink quality, operational stability, and precise temperature control.

As a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter, Technogen Enterprise fabricates its machines using SS 304 grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene, durability, and compliance with global GMP standards. The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine (Model: TGSHT-100) is engineered for consistent performance on PVC, PETG, OPS, and PLA sleeves, guaranteeing uniform shrink coverage across containers of various shapes and sizes.

The machine uses multiple steam zones, independently adjustable steam manifolds, and a modular conveyor system to produce perfectly shrunk sleeves with professional finish. This makes it ideal for manufacturing hubs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, RAKEZ, Fujairah Free Zone, and other UAE industrial regions.

Machine Overview

The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine is designed to provide precise and consistent sleeve shrinking using controlled steam distribution. Unlike conventional electric shrink tunnels, this system uses superheated steam to heat and contract shrink sleeve labels applied on bottles or containers. The presence of multiple controlled steam zones allows operators to fine-tune the steam flow based on bottle shape, sleeve material, and label profile.

The tunnel is built entirely from SS 304 stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance. Its modular construction, available in 3-zone to 6-zone configurations, makes it suitable for a wide range of production requirements. The variable-speed Delrin modular conveyor ensures stable movement of containers through the tunnel, minimizing vibration and maintaining alignment during the shrinking process.

This model caters to small, medium, and large packaging facilities that must achieve consistent shrink results while handling diverse container sizes. With adjustable steam manifolds, four-axis alignment flexibility, and simplified maintenance access, the machine is engineered for long-term industrial operation in demanding UAE environments.

Technical Specification

Working Principle

The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine operates through a streamlined, high-efficiency process tailored for sleeve shrinking:

• Containers with pre-applied sleeves enter the steam tunnel via a Delrin modular slat conveyor
• Independent steam zones emit superheated steam positioned according to bottle shape
• Adjustable manifolds direct the steam precisely onto targeted sleeve areas
• Uniform steam coverage ensures consistent shrinking and wrinkle-free results
• Steam is circulated, controlled, and exhausted through an adjustable blower system
• Excess moisture is collected through the integrated drip tray
• Containers exit the tunnel with fully shrunk sleeves ready for labeling, filling, or packing

This mechanism ensures superior shrink performance—especially important for premium packaging formats widely used by UAE beverage, beauty, and personal care brands.

Applications

The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine is suitable for diverse industrial sectors across the UAE:

• Food and Beverage – Bottled juices, flavored drinks, condiments, dairy beverages, sauces
