FR231

Hot-Air Shrink Tunnel
Wide, dual-zone hot-air shrink tunnel designed for larger products and compatible with different types of shrink film.
  • Wide design suitable for products requiring greater clearance
  • Uniform shrinkage thanks to two independent heating zones
  • High flexibility with different hoods for tray-packed or unsupported products
  • Precise adjustments of temperature, airflow and conveyor speed
  • Automated control and product recipes when connected to the JNJ ES101 packaging machine

The FR231 is a wide hot-air shrink tunnel equipped with two independent heating zones. It is designed to ensure uniform shrinkage and an optimal presentation of products packaged in barrier or non-barrier shrink films.

Its conveyor, featuring silicone-coated rollers, ensures even heat distribution across the products. The conveyor speed and airflow can be adjusted to suit different products and formats.

The two heating zones feature independent temperature settings up to 220°C. The FR231 accommodates different hood types, including type F for unsupported products and type T for tray-packed products.

Temperature settings and conveyor speed can be controlled directly from the packaging machine and stored in product recipes, making production changeovers easier.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel and thermally insulated, the FR231 is designed for easy cleaning and reduced maintenance. Its wide range of options also allows it to be adapted to the specific requirements of each packaging line.
