Location Requirements

 

 
When installing the shrink tunnel please be aware of the following considerations: 
 

1.  The surface on which it is located is flat and level. 

 

2.  Conveyor or packing table height. 

 

3.  Alignment with packaging line. 

 
When the  shrink  tunnel  is  positioned  in  the  operating  location  you  will  need  access to 
the control panel. 
 
Provision  should  be  made  for  finished  exiting  packages.  For  example,  a  table  or  bin 
where  packages  that  have  been  sealed  will  be  placed  until  they  can  be  picked  up  or 
moved out. 
 
Take  into  consideration  the  entrance  conveyor  height  in  relation  adjacent  machinery, 
such as the sealer feeding into it, for example. 
 
The machine should be placed on a flat, level floor so that it does not rock or move. We 
recommend that the leveling feet be used to level the machine. 
 
Set up the shrink tunnel and move it to its location. The  casters allow easy movement 
over smooth flat surfaces. 
 

CAUTION! 

If  the  shrink  tunnel  must  be  lifted  for  moving,  use  proper 
equipment  when  lifting  and  moving  it  to  ensure  it  is  secure 
and will not shift. 

 
When the shrink tunnel has been moved to its location, use the leveling legs to level the 
conveyor and adjust it to its final height. A power cord to the main electrical disconnect 
switch (with optional electrical plug) should be installed by a licensed electrician. 
 
Refer  to  instructions  in  the  following  section  for  instructions  to  power  up  or  shut  down 
the machine.
