Heat Shrink & Vacuum

Shrink Guns

Shrink Wrap gas gun ideal for heat shrink wrapping all types of pallets and boxes.

Shrink-wrapping is quite simple. The item to be wrapped is covered with low-density polythene film and then, on application of heat from the Shrink Gun, the film shrinks and tightens to protect the product. Shrink-wrapping guarantees that your products will reach your customers in the best possible condition.

Polyolefin Film Rolls

Polyolefin shrink film has a superior gloss, clarity and sheen which makes it a great choice for the retail market. Ideal for use with our shrink wrapping machines this heat shrink film is a centre folded multi-layer film, cross-linked for extra durability. Polyolefin shrink film is ideal for wrapping irregular shaped products or for those with sharp edges.

Polyolefin film is approved for food use and prevents the migration of unwanted odours.

PVC Shrink Film

PVC shrink wrap enhances sales appeal and so is ideal for the presentation of products. The PVC wrap heat shrinks down and around the items keeping any loose parts in place whilst on display or in transit. PVC shrink wrap also protects against dust and moisture. These PVC rolls are centre folded and can be used with the majority of shrink systems including shrink wrapping machines.

Vacuum Chambers

Vacuum chambers work by extracting excess air and sealing the pouch from which your produce is in. It is a very hygienic method of packing as it reduces the atmospheric oxygen from the pack which will in turn limit the chance of bacteria. The chambers can also be used to pack bulky items to reduce pack sizes, which can be a great benefit when transporting goods or collating small items such as screws, reducing the risks of them separating during transportation.

Vacuum chambers operate by placing the product into a pouch and placing it inside the chamber, Once the lid is closed the machine removes all excess air in the machine and the pouch and seals the bag, air is then returned to the chamber allowing you to open the lid and remove the pack

Vacuum Pouches

Using Vacuum pouches is a method of storing food which can extend its life by up to five times.

 It creates an airless environment to prevent food from deteriating.

Short term storage of fresh foods: Vegetables, meats, soups

Frozen foods: Vacuum pouches prevent freezer burn by shielding food from exposure to the cold, dry air. Freezer burn occurs when the surface of frozen food becomes dehydrated, leading to a leathery appearance and an impaired flavour.

Impulse Heat Sealers

Heat sealers are used for either sealing bags or creating bags from lay flat tubing. If you are only sealing premade polythene bags, a model without a cutter will be sufficient. Whereas if you are creating bags from lay flat tubing, a heat sealer with cutter is vital.

Impulse heat sealer is an easy to use hands on machine, built for everyday use. It is fully manual and comes in widths between 200mm and 500mm for sealing up to 800 gauges in PP/PE/PVC films. Available with or without cutter.

Industrial heat sealers have been built using the high-quality components throughout to ensure a robust, long lasting heat sealer. Available in widths between 420mm and 1020mm for sealing up to 500 gauges in PE films.
