High-Speed Automatic L-Bar Sealer with Shrink Tunnel

Product Overview

The Automatic L-Bar Sealer Shrink Wrapping Machine with Shrink Tunnel is a fully automatic packaging system designed for high-speed shrink wrapping applications. It combines an automatic L-bar sealing machine with a heat shrink tunnel to deliver continuous, efficient, and professional packaging. Products are automatically detected, sealed, cut, and transferred into the shrink tunnel, where heated air tightly shrinks the film around each item, creating a secure, attractive, and tamper-resistant package. This type of system is widely used for packaging boxes, bottles, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food products, electronics, stationery, and daily consumer goods.

Technical Specifications (Typical)

How It Works

• 1. Product Feeding

  Products are loaded onto the infeed conveyor. Photoelectric sensors detect product presence and automatically trigger the sealing cycle

• 2. Film Wrapping & L-Sealing

  Center-folded shrink film is drawn over the product. The L-shaped sealing bar—equipped with a DuPont Teflon-coated, high-temperature aluminum alloy blade—simultaneously seals the side and end seams in a single "L" motion, then cuts the film

• 3. Automatic Film Feeding & Waste Rewinding

  An induction motor automatically feeds film and rewinds scrap material, keeping the work area clean and reducing material waste

• 4. Shrink Tunnel

  The sealed package enters the shrink tunnel where circulating hot air evenly heats the film, causing it to shrink tightly around the product. The tunnel features a cyclic hot air circulation design for even heat distribution and energy efficiency

• 5. Cooling & Discharge

  A cooling section sets the film firmly. Finished packages are discharged via conveyor for downstream processing or packing.

FAQ

• Q1: What is an L-bar sealer with shrink tunnel?

  It is a fully integrated shrink packaging system that combines an automatic L-bar sealer (which wraps and seals products in shrink film) with a heat shrink tunnel (which tightens the film around the product). The result is a professional, tamper-evident, dust-proof package

• Q2: What packaging speed can I expect?

  Speed ranges from 35 to 40+ packages per minute depending on the model and product size. Standard models operate at 10–25 packs/min

• Q3: What types of products can it handle?

  Boxes, cartons, trays, books, electronics, toys, cosmetics, food products, and more—any rigid or semi-rigid item that fits within the machine's dimensional limits

• Q4: What film materials are compatible?

  The machine supports POF, PVC, and PE center-folded shrink films

• Q5: How do I change between different product sizes?

  The machine features adjustable film guiding and feeding conveyor platforms. Size changeover takes just minutes—no mold changes required

• Q6: Is the machine CE certified?

  Yes, all models comply with CE and international safety standards.

• Q7: Does the machine require an external air supply?

  Yes, most models require an external air source of 6–8 kg/cm². Some servo-driven models operate without air pressure
