FR221

Hot-Air Shrink Tunnel
Dual-zone hot-air shrink tunnel for uniform and precise film shrinkage, suitable for different product formats and types.
  • Uniform and precise shrinkage thanks to two independent heating zones
  • High flexibility with hoods suited to tray-packed or unsupported products
  • Optimised settings through independent temperature and airflow control
  • Robust, hygienic construction made entirely of stainless steel and designed for easy maintenance

The FR221 is a dual-zone hot-air shrink tunnel designed to ensure uniform shrinkage and an optimal presentation of packaged products. It is compatible with barrier and non-barrier shrink films and suitable for a wide variety of product formats.

The two heating zones feature independent temperature controls, while the airflow can be adjusted to suit the characteristics of each product. The conveyor, fitted with rotating silicone-coated rollers, ensures even heat distribution and consistent film shrinkage.

The FR221 can handle different types of products thanks to its interchangeable hoods: type F for unsupported products, such as portioned cheeses or multipacks, and type T for tray-packed products.

Operation is straightforward thanks to an easily accessible control panel and regulators that allow precise temperature adjustments. When connected to the JNJ ES101 packaging machine, the tunnel can be controlled directly from the packaging machine, with settings stored in product recipes to speed up production changeovers.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel and thermally insulated, the FR221 is designed to simplify maintenance and reduce maintenance costs. Air curtains at the infeed and outfeed also minimise heat loss into the production environment.

A wide range of options is available to adapt the tunnel to the specific requirements of each packaging line.
