Shrink Tunnel Machines
High-throughput heat tunnels that deliver tight, professional shrink wrapping on bottles, cartons and multipacks.
About the Shrink Tunnel Machines
Model: PK-STM-600
Choose a standard model running 400–1,200 packs per hour or a heavy-duty configuration sized to your line — single-pack, multipack or bundled shrink wrapping with POF, PE or PVC film. Tunnels pair directly with our L-sealers and auto web sealers, so you get a complete shrink packing line from one manufacturer.
We deliver, install and commission across India — Gujarat, Maharashtra and every major industrial hub — with operator training, spares support and a 12-month warranty backed by our Surat works.

How the Shrink Tunnel Machines works
Load & film
Products enter the tunnel loosely wrapped in shrink film from an upstream sealer or hand-wrap station.
Controlled heating
Calibrated heaters flood the stainless chamber with even hot air so the film shrinks uniformly on every face.
Conveyor transit
A variable-speed conveyor carries packs through the heat zone at a dwell time tuned to your film and pack size.
Cool & set
Packs exit onto a cooling section where the film sets into a tight, glossy, tamper-evident wrap.
Key benefits of the Shrink Tunnel Machines
Retail-ready finish
Tight, wrinkle-free wraps that protect the product and lift shelf appeal.
Consistent output
Repeatable results shift after shift with adjustable temperature and conveyor speed.
Lower running cost
An insulated chamber and efficient heaters cut power draw per pack.
What is a shrink tunnel machine and how does it work?
A shrink tunnel machine is a heated chamber with a conveyor running through it. A product wrapped loosely in shrink film enters one end; controlled hot air shrinks the film tightly around it before it exits the other end, sealed and retail-ready. Temperature, air flow and conveyor speed are adjustable, so one tunnel handles many pack formats — the operator dials in a recipe per product and the tunnel repeats it shift after shift.
Which products can you shrink wrap with a shrink tunnel?
- Bottles and jars — water, juice, pharma and cosmetic bottles, singly or as multipacks
- Cartons and boxes — mono-cartons bundled into transport packs
- Trays and multipacks — cans, pouches or tubs collated on trays
- Irregular items — toys, stationery, hardware and household goods
Film choice matters as much as the machine — our POF vs PE vs PVC shrink film guide explains which film suits which product.
How do you choose the right shrink tunnel specification?
Three numbers decide most of the selection: the tunnel opening (our standard chambers customise up to 600 × 400 mm — your largest pack plus clearance), the throughput you need (standard Packten tunnels run 400–1,200 packs per hour depending on product), and the power supply available on your floor (3-phase, 380–415 V for industrial tunnels). Add the film type you plan to run, and whether the tunnel must sync with an upstream sealer. Our guide on choosing a shrink tunnel machine walks through the full checklist.
What does a shrink tunnel machine cost in India?
Price depends on chamber size, throughput, build material (our chambers are stainless steel 304), heating capacity and the level of automation around the tunnel — not on a fixed rate card. A compact tunnel for an MSME line and a heavy-duty industrial shrink tunnel for continuous three-shift production sit at very different points. The honest way to budget is to understand the nine factors that decide a shrink wrapping machine quote in India, then request an exact quote for your pack sizes — we respond with a specification, not just a number.
Why buy from a shrink tunnel machine manufacturer in India?
Imported tunnels carry long lead times, customs cost and slow spare-part support. Buying from an Indian shrink tunnel machine manufacturer means faster delivery (Packten's standard lead time is 4–6 weeks), engineers who can reach your plant for installation and service, spares stocked in-country, and a machine specified for Indian power and ambient conditions. It also means you can visit the works and see your tunnel running before dispatch. See how we compare in our round-up of shrink tunnel machine manufacturers in India.
Why Packten?
Packten builds shrink tunnels at our Surat, Gujarat factory and installs them across India, with operator training, a 12-month warranty and AMC support after handover. Because we also manufacture L-sealing machines, auto web sealers and conveyors, we can supply the tunnel alone or the complete shrink packing line — one manufacturer, one point of support. Keep the tunnel running with our shrink tunnel maintenance checklist.
Common questions
Our shrink tunnels run standard POF, PE and PVC shrink films. We help you select the right film grade and thickness for your product, pack size and target throughput.
Most models run on a 3-phase 380–415 V, 50 Hz supply. The exact power rating depends on the tunnel size and heating configuration — we confirm the requirement for your chosen model before dispatch.
There is no fixed rate card — the quote depends on chamber size, throughput, build material and the automation around the tunnel. Packten prices against your pack sizes and film and typically responds within one working day. Standard tunnels ship in 4–6 weeks from our Surat factory.
Yes. Beyond standard models running 400–1,200 packs per hour, we build heavy-duty tunnels for continuous multi-shift operation, with chamber openings customisable up to 600 × 400 mm and heating capacity engineered per application.
Yes — Packten delivers, installs and commissions shrink tunnels across India, with operator training at handover and a 12-month warranty backed by spares support from our Surat works.
Yes. Every tunnel is factory-tested at our Surat works before dispatch, and you are welcome to witness the trial with your own product and film.
