Steam Shrinking Working Mechanism
1) Entry into the Steam Chamber
The product, after the sleeve label is placed, enters a steam shrink chamber divided into precise thermal zones.
2) Steam Release in Distributed Pulses
Multiple nozzles direct steam uniformly around the container to achieve a consistent 360° shrink.
3) Shrinking & Full Sleeve Conformation
The sleeve reacts to the steam, shrinking tightly around the container and conforming to every curve and detail.
4) Product Exit with Ready-to-Sell Quality
A glossy, uniform, wrinkle-free finish with no temperature variation marks.
Key Advantages
✔ Superior shrink quality thanks to steam technology
✔ Perfect sleeve appearance on all container shapes
