Steam tunnel with generator

NEWS FROM PACK EXPO: PDC Europe (Austin, TX) offers what it claims is the first steam shrink tunnel with its own built-in steam generator.

System also includes a water softener, temperature indicator, steam extraction motor, and condensate collection tray.

The unit features steam nozzles that are easily adjustable to put the shrink where it is needed on even containers of complex geometries.

Rates at 130 sleeved bottles/min.
