Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine Details
Revolutionizing Shrink Label Packaging for South Africa's Industries
South Africa’s dynamic packaging industry — spanning from Cape Town’s FMCG exporters to Johannesburg’s pharmaceutical giants — demands equipment that is fast, efficient, and reliable. Technogen Enterprise proudly presents its Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine, Model TGEHT-100, a cutting-edge shrink sleeve solution for industrial-grade operations.

What Is an Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine?
An electric heat shrink tunnel machine is a packaging system that shrinks a sleeve label tightly around the body of a container — using controlled heat. The process ensures:
A seamless label finish
High visual appeal for branding
Secure tamper-evident packaging
Extended product protection
The TGEHT-100 model by Technogen Enterprise utilizes forced convection heating, powered by pin heaters and blowers, to shrink labels made of PVC, PP, PETG, or OPS films onto round plastic bottles.
Tailored for South African Markets & Applications
Whether you’re labeling bottles of fruit juice in Durban, pharmaceutical syrups in Pretoria, or detergents in Port Elizabeth, this shrink tunnel is built for you.
Key industries served:
Beverage & Bottled Water – PET bottle labeling
Pharmaceuticals – Tamper-evident shrink sleeves
Personal Care & Cosmetics – High-quality finish for shampoos, creams
FMCG Products – Labeling of retail plastic containers

Machine Design and How It Works
The TGEHT-100 Automatic Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel is designed for inline operations and follows this workflow:
Manual Sleeve Placement:
Operators manually place a PVC or PETG sleeve over the container.Automated Conveyor Feed:
Containers are loaded onto an AISI 304 stainless steel slat conveyor that moves them into the heating tunnel. Conveyor speed is adjustable via a panel control.Entry into Heat Tunnel:
The container enters the shrink tunnel, which is equipped with 12 internal custom heaters and 2 powerful blowers for forced convection heating.Uniform Heat Distribution:
The blowers circulate superheated air evenly, ensuring that the shrink label conforms tightly and uniformly to the bottle surface.Exit and Collection:
The perfectly shrink-labeled container exits the tunnel, ready for final packaging.
