Executive summary This clip shows our long-product sealing and shrinking machine. An operator feeds long wood strips along roller tables into the sealer, which closes a film sleeve around them, and the shrink tunnel then tightens the film. The same line packs decorative trims and aluminium profiles, which need a clean, tight film over their whole length.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Feeding | An operator feeds long wood strips onto roller tables |
| Sealing | The sealer closes a film sleeve around the strips |
| Shrinking | The shrink tunnel tightens the film |
| Outfeed | Packed strips leave on roller tables |
| Workshop | Other sealers and shrink tunnels on our assembly floor |
Why shrink film for long products
- Tight bundle. Strips stay together without tape or straps.
- Clean surface. Film keeps dust and scratches off trims and profiles.
- Visible product. Clear film shows the product and label.
- Any length. Roller tables carry long pieces in and out.
Tunnel speed
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Product length (illustrative) | 2,400 mm |
| Tunnel length (illustrative) | 1,600 mm |
| Time in heat needed (illustrative) | 8 s |
| Conveyor speed, 1,600 ÷ 8 | 200 mm/s, 12 m/min |
| Time to pass the tunnel, (2,400 + 1,600) ÷ 200 | 20 s |
What we set per product
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Sealer width | Bundle section |
| Film | POF or PE, thickness |
| Tunnel heat | Film and product |
| Roller tables | Product length |
Selection checklist
- Product length and section.
- Pieces per bundle.
- Film type.
- Bundles per hour.
- Infeed and outfeed length.
- Heat-sensitive surface or not.
Safety
- Keep hands clear of the sealing bar.
- Do not touch the tunnel or hot film.
- Stop the line before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What products suit it? A: Wood strips, decorative trims, aluminium profiles and other long items.
Q: Why shrink film? A: It holds the bundle tight and keeps the surface clean.
Q: How fast does it run? A: 200 mm/s through the tunnel in the worked example.
Q: Can it pack very long pieces? A: Yes. Length is limited by the floor layout and the infeed and outfeed roller tables.
Q: Which film does it use? A: POF or PE, set per product.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
