Axon: Axon: New radiant heat shrink tunnel delivers performance and flexibility

The new ThermoRay™ radiant heat shrink tunnel can be mounted directly onto most conveyors, which eliminates the need to purchase a separate stand. Operators adjust the tunnel’s height with an integrated hydraulic lift. A blower helps to ensure even heat distribution for uniform film shrinkage. ThermoRay’s design gives customers the flexibility of using the tunnel for both tamper banding and shrink sleeve labeling. The new tunnel reduces overall energy cost by lowering electricity requirements by 20 percent over the model it replaces. Customers who do not require Axon application engineering prior to purchase can have units shipped next day via UPS Ground at a discounted price—ThermoRay Express Pricing.
