Automatic Shrinking Packing Machine

Not every product is suitable for rigid folding or fixed-size film wrapping.

A group of medicine boxes, several beverage containers, a cosmetic care set or an irregular-shaped product may need to be held together as one package. In these cases, shrink film can follow the outside profile and tighten around the products after heating.

The result is a compact outer package that is easier to handle, stack and transport.

This makes the Automatic shrinking packing machine particularly useful when the packaging requirement is not simply “wrap one box”, but rather:

wrap + bundle + protect + prepare for transportation.

Technical parameters and configuration

Film Selection Depends on the Job

The Automatic shrinking packing machine supports PE, POF and PVC shrink films, but these materials are not intended for exactly the same packaging purpose.

POF is a practical option when transparency and appearance are important, making it suitable for many consumer, food and pharmaceutical-related packages.

PE provides a tougher outer wrap and can be considered for heavier products or packages that need stronger bundling during handling and transportation.

PVC can be used for suitable general consumer products and small-item packaging.

Film thickness and heating conditions should be selected according to the product, package size and production speed rather than using one fixed setting for every application.

Temperature adjustment of shrink machine

PE shrink machine power is generally relatively large in 20-40KW or so, the set temperature is also relatively high, generally around 180°-220°, according to the thickness of the material, the speed of the delivery of the product, the size of the air volume, the temperature setting is also different, the product is not high temperature can use low temperature, using thin shrink film. If the shrink film is thick, the temperature needs to be increased, and the power of the shrink machine needs to be selected. The temperature increases correspondingly with the speed of the conveying product, and conversely, the temperature decreases correspondingly with the increase of the air volume, and conversely, the temperature increases. POF, PVC shrink machine power is generally 5-20KW, the temperature is generally set at about 140-160 ° adjustment and PE shrink machine is basically the same.

Technical parameter

What Does the Finished Package Offer?

A properly selected shrink film can form a close outer layer around the product, helping to:

● Keep dust away from the packaged surface

● Reduce scratches and handling marks

● Hold grouped products together

● Improve stability during transportation

● Provide a cleaner overall appearance

● Add moisture protection where the selected film is suitable

For grouped products, the bundling effect is particularly useful. Instead of moving several individual units through logistics separately, they can be prepared as one handling unit.

Typical Packaging Applications

The  Automatic shrinking packing machine can be considered for a wide range of products rather than only one box format.

Pharmaceutical & Healthcare

Food & Beverage

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Hardware & General Goods

The final film and machine settings should always be selected according to the actual product and packaging requirements.

Main Technical Considerations

When selecting an automatic shrink packaging machine, KEDE recommends confirming four points first:

Product size  — determines the suitable sealing and conveying range.

Packaging arrangement  — single item, multipack or grouped products will affect feeding configuration.

Film material  — PE, POF and PVC have different shrink characteristics.

Required output  — production speed determines the suitable machine configuration and heating conditions.

Providing these details before quotation helps avoid choosing equipment based only on product name.

FAQ

What is an Automatic Shrinking Packing Machine used for?

It is used to seal products with shrink film and then heat the film so it contracts tightly around the product. It can handle both individual products and grouped packages.

Can it wrap irregular-shaped products?

Yes. Heat shrink film can conform to curved and irregular product surfaces after heating, giving the machine a wider packaging range than equipment designed only for regular cartons.

Which shrink films are supported?

The machine can use PE, POF and PVC shrink film. The appropriate material depends on the product, package type and required packaging performance.

Can several products be packaged together?

Yes. Multiple products can be arranged as a group and shrink wrapped into one package for easier handling and transportation.

Does it require automatic feeding?

No. Both manual feeding and automatic online feeding can be used.

How should the shrink temperature be set?

The suitable temperature depends on film material, film thickness, conveyor speed, air volume and product characteristics. These parameters need to be adjusted together rather than using one fixed temperature.

Can KEDE customize the machine?

Yes. KEDE can evaluate the required configuration according to the product dimensions, film, packaging arrangement and production process.
