Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine For Nigerian Industries

The industrial packaging sector in Nigeria is rapidly evolving, with cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Ibadan, Onitsha, Aba, Kaduna, Warri, and Benin City emerging as major hubs for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and consumer goods production. To maintain premium packaging standards, manufacturers require machinery that is efficient, precise, and reliable.

The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine (Model TGSHT-100) from Technogen Enterprise meets these demands by providing accurate sleeve shrinking, consistent quality, and high-speed operation. Designed to handle PVC, PETG, OPS, and PLA labels, this machine ensures that every bottle or container receives a perfectly fitted sleeve.

Why Choose Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine?

In Nigeria’s competitive industrial landscape, packaging quality is critical for consumer trust and retail appeal. The TGSHT-100 Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine provides:

• Precision shrink wrapping through multiple independently controlled steam zones.

• Compatibility with various bottle sizes and shapes, including round, square, and irregular containers.

• High efficiency, processing up to 60 bottles per minute depending on container dimensions.

• Robust construction with SS 304 stainless steel for long-lasting performance.

• User-friendly operation, requiring minimal training for skilled or semi-skilled operators.

This machine is ideal for manufacturers in Lagos Free Trade Zone, Aba Industrial Market, Kano manufacturing hubs, Port Harcourt beverage units, and pharmaceutical plants in Abuja.

Working Principle

The Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine utilizes superheated steam and forced convection to shrink labels and neck bands accurately onto bottles:

1. Multiple Steam Zones:

   • Steam zones can be independently controlled to target specific areas on the bottle.

   • Adjustable steam manifolds allow precise steam flow for optimal sleeve finish.

2. Bottle Feeding:

   • Bottles with manually applied sleeves are loaded onto the variable speed Delrin slat chain conveyor.

3. Shrink Process:

   • Steam heats the sleeve uniformly, causing it to shrink tightly around the container.

   • Four-axis adjustments ensure perfect shrinkage regardless of bottle shape or size.

4. Moisture Management:

   • Integrated drip tray collects condensation.

   • Air blower with adjustable steam exhaust prevents excess moisture accumulation.

This process guarantees clean, professional, and tamper-proof packaging, essential for Nigerian FMCG, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors.
