Bottles go onto the infeed, the machine wraps each one in folded film, seals the side and cuts between bottles, then a compact heat tunnel shrinks the film tight. The footage was shared with us; our equivalent solution wraps bottles, jars and small items the same way, with the film and tunnel set to your product.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bw_vPpeasLQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

it can also wrap small groups.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How much film does a bottle use?\nA: About 260 mm by 240 mm for a 70 mm by 180 mm bottle in the worked example.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can you supply this configuration?\nA: Yes. We build equivalent side sealing shrink machines set to your container sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Which standards apply?\nA: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We match a side sealing shrink machine in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with product sizes, items per minute and film type, to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong> with the machine data and layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> so we confirm the infeed and space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-bottle-groupingshrinking-machine\/\">Bottle Shrink Bundling Machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-panel-sealing-and-shrinking-machine\/\">Automatic Panel Sealing and Shrinking Machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-panel-bubble-film-sealing-cutting-machine\/\">Panel Bubble Film Sealing and Cutting Machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-Packing-Line\/\">Automatic packing lines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine content: FHOPE engineering team, 2026-10-10<\/li>\n<li>Clip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bw_vPpeasLQ\">the video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Film per bottle: our worked example, illustrative values<\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: ISO 12100:2010; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proposal timing: approved house CTA (proposal within 48 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-10<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary This clip shows a side sealing shrink wrapping machine for single drink bottles.
