The new Thermodash steam tunnel slashes energy and water costs on packaging lines running up to 100 cpm.

Axon, powered by Pro Mach, has introduced the new Thermodash steam tunnel. Thermodash is the first in a series of steam tunnels from Axon designed to conserve energy and water while enabling high-quality shrink-sleeve labeling on lines running at up to 100 cpm.

Thermodash can operate on as little as 4 kW of electricity and 3 gal of water/hr. It is sized for containers up to 4-in.-wide and 10-in.-tall. Customers can work with Axon on a custom Thermodash should their container size exceed these parameters.

Thermodash features stainless-steel double-wall construction for years of reliable and safe operation. A cantilevered cover provides easy access to tunnel components. Thermodash is designed for quick changeover and is available in one- and two-zone configurations. A compact steam-generating system rated at 15 psi (1.05 kg/cm²) is integrated on the back of the unit.
