GENERAL
1. H-2034 Shrink Tunnel consists of a tunnel and a
conveyor. The conveyor is a teflon coated mesh belt.
The mesh belt allows the heated air to shrink the
bottom of the package from the tunnel.
2. There are two control panels for the operation of
the machine. The lower panel controls the conveyor
and the upper panel controls the tunnel.
MACHINE STARTUP
1. Turn on the conveyor using the ON/OFF rocker switch.
The ON/OFF switch will light up. Set the conveyor
speed to "2" on the operator panel. (See Figure 1)
2. If the power light is not on, plug in the tunnel.
3. Turn on the tunnel using the ON/OFF switch.
4. Set the tunnel temperature to a setting of 325º F
on the tunnel’s operator panel. It will take 20 - 30
minutes to reach temperature. The heat indicator
light will go off when it has reached temperature.
(See Figure 2)
5. After the initial package has been run through the heat
shrink tunnel, the following adjustments may be made:
a. Increase or decrease the thermostat setting.
b. Increase or decrease the conveyor speed.
c. Increase or decrease the temperature if
available.
6. Due to the various types of shrinkable films, room
temperatures and voltages, you may have to
experiment with various temperatures and conveyor
speeds, to get the desired shrink. Your film supplier
is familiar with this type of equipment and will be
helpful in determining the best settings for the film
you are using.

The machine should be inspected on a timely basis to
ensure all is functioning well and in good working order.
There is not much required to keep the machine running
trouble free. The most important area is the seal head.
The following are recommendations for preventative
maintenance on the machine to keep it performing well
over an extended period.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Inspect the conveyor belts for wear and
misalignment. If the belts are not tracking properly,
adjust the idler rollers to realign the belts. Replace
worn belts as needed.
2. Lubricate all chain drives every 160 hours of
operation with a bearing grease or chain lubricant.
3. To clean the machine, wipe down the conveyor
belts and other flat surfaces to remove any dirt. Do
not use any type of belt dressing on the conveyor
belts.
