Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine For Kenya’s Packaging Industry
Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine Details
Technogen’s Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine – Advanced Sleeve Labeling for Kenya’s Growing Packaging Sector
As Kenya’s manufacturing, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries expand, the demand for precision shrink sleeve labeling is on the rise. To meet this need, Technogen Enterprise offers the Automatic Steam Heat Shrink Tunnel Machine (Model TGSHT-100)—a robust, high-efficiency system designed to deliver perfect sleeve shrinkage on a wide variety of bottles and containers.
Whether you're operating a beverage plant in Nairobi, a pharmaceutical packaging unit in Mombasa, or a cosmetics manufacturer in Thika, this machine ensures superior results with minimal operator intervention.
Why Steam Shrink Technology?
Steam-based shrink tunnels offer better temperature control, uniformity, and container compatibility than electric or infrared systems. Steam heat ensures:
Uniform shrinkage even on irregular container shapes
Smooth, wrinkle-free label appearance
Reduced risk of container deformation
Enhanced aesthetic appeal for PET, PVC, PLA, and OPS labels
This makes the TGSHT-100 a critical asset for companies prioritizing product presentation and quality assurance across Kenya’s diverse consumer markets.
Top Features of the TGSHT-100 Steam Shrink Tunnel Machine
Technogen’s TGSHT-100 is designed for maximum performance, versatility, and reliability. Here's a breakdown of the key features that make this machine ideal for Kenyan businesses:
✔ CGMP-Compliant Design
The machine is built according to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), making it suitable for use in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic sectors across Kenya.
✔ Stainless Steel Construction
The tunnel body is made entirely from SS 304, offering excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic processing in compliance with global food and pharmaceutical standards.
✔ Modular Steam Zone Design (3 to 6 Zones)
Customizable according to your product range—whether you handle short, wide jars or tall PET bottles, each steam zone can be independently controlled to fine-tune steam intensity.
✔ Four-Axis Steam Pipe Adjustment
Allows perfect alignment of steam output to suit any bottle shape or label location, ensuring high-quality finish regardless of container geometry.
✔ Delrin Slat Chain Conveyor
Durable, food-grade conveyor material ensures smooth movement of bottles through the tunnel. The variable-speed conveyor can match the rhythm of your upstream and downstream equipment.
✔ Dual-Sided Access Doors
Convenient maintenance and cleaning via easy-access doors on both sides of the tunnel.
✔ Adjustable Steam Manifold
The simple but highly effective steam manifold can be tailored to provide targeted steam for neck bands, body sleeves, or full-body shrink wraps.
✔ Integrated Air Blower and Steam Exhaust
Helps maintain a balanced environment inside the tunnel and removes excess moisture, ensuring the operating area remains dry and safe.
✔ Moisture Drip Tray
All excess condensate is collected in a built-in stainless steel drip tray, maintaining cleanliness and preventing floor hazards.
