Shrink Film and Equipment: Heating Solutions

Shrink Film and Equipment

The TRACO Hotshot Heat Gun from Bahrns’ inventory of shrink film and equipment has two temperature settings for precise heating.

Shrink film requires heat for it to shrink and seal packages. There are two main ways to introduce this heat. One is by using a heat gun. The other is by using a heat tunnel.

The heat gun is the simplest heating solution when it comes to shrink film and equipment. It is manually applied and can run on electricity or powered by gas.

Heat tunnels are a component of shrink wrap systems. They are ideal for large-scale packaging operations.

When applying heat to shrink film, it is important to do it evenly to prevent disfigurements. This is no problem for heat tunnels but can be tricky for inexperienced heat gun users.
