Shrink Sleeve Applicator
The Shrink Sleeve Applicator by USA Pack Machines LLC provides unmatched versatility, accommodating glass, HDPE, and plastic bottles. It supports container diameters ranging from 30 mm to 120 mm, sleeve lengths between 30 mm and 100 mm, and sleeve widths of 40 mm to 170 mm. Delivering speeds of 60 to 200 bottles per minute (depending on sleeve cut length), this machine is ideal for high-volume production lines that demand accuracy and consistency.
Electrical Heater Operated Shrink Tunnel
The Electrical Heater Operated Shrink Tunnel ensures uniform sleeve shrinking through advanced heating elements that distribute heat evenly. This technology achieves smooth, wrinkle-free sleeves, enhancing both aesthetics and protection. Designed for integration with production lines, it maximizes efficiency while offering durability and easy operation.
Steam Operated Shrink Tunnel
The Steam Shrink Tunnel provides a powerful yet energy-efficient method of applying shrink sleeves. By using steam, it ensures flawless, wrinkle-free finishes on containers of all shapes and sizes. Its advanced design enables seamless integration and precise heat control, making it ideal for diverse applications.
Steam Generator
The Steam Generator delivers consistent and reliable steam output for shrink sleeve tunnels and other industrial applications. With a rugged build and advanced safety features, it guarantees dependable performance. Easy to monitor and adjust, it ensures smooth operation, boosting both productivity and packaging quality in demanding environments.

- Gaskets, seals and O-rings are constructed of food grade/ non-toxic polymeric materials only
- All welds are ground finished
- Provision of Photocell sensor to read the eye mark- eye mark distance on the sleeve roll which generates the length of the sleeve suitable as per the bottle size (If printed sleeves are used).
- Separate Stepper Motors for controlling the movement of rotary brushes to ensure that sleeve is properly settled on bottle
- Sensor to indicate the presence of bottle, immediately after which the sleeve should be dispensed on bottle. If there is NO BOTTLE NO SLEEVE will be dispensed
- Unique compact tunnel with minimal power consumption
- The tunnel comprised of pre and post heat shrink zone to shrink the sleeve on bottle
- The heaters are installed at the side of the tunnel to ensure that there is uniform distribution of heat on the sleeve
- Overhead convection fan for precise cooling at output
- Digital temperature controller to ensure that uniform temperature is maintained at the time of shrinking
- The change over time from one SKU to other will take approximately 30 to 45 min
