HZ-100 Horizontal Shrink Sleeve Integrated Systems
HZ-100 horizontal shrink sleeve systems are designed to apply shrink sleeve labels to small diameter, cylindrical products such as lipsticks, eye liner pencils, mascaras and lip balms that are not easily handled in a vertical position.
The HZ-100 features an integrated sleeve applicator and shrink tunnel built on a single, stainless steel monobloc frame.
It includes a horizontal applicator with static reduction system, an innovative after-tamp sleeve centering station, an integrated compact heat tunnel, a roller conveyor that rotates product inside the heat tunnel and a discharge ramp for gentle discharge of products from the system.
HZ-100 horizontal shrink sleeve systems are a proven solution for leading beauty and personal care product companies around the world.

Features & Benefits
- Stainless steel monobloc construction - HZ-100 systems are mounted on sturdy monobloc stainless steel frames to assure precise sleeving performance
- 15-Minute size changeovers - HZ-100 systems offer simple, fast container changeovers which increase uptime and improve productivity
- Guillotine style cutters - Simple, durable and dependable two-blade cutting system delivers consistent, clean cuts
- Long blade life - Under normal operating conditions HZ-100 cutting blades can be used for up to one year before replacement is required
- After-tamp & sleeve centering system - Enhances product quality by assuring applied sleeves are accurately positioned prior to shrink process
- Roller conveyor with digital heat control - Containers are rotated as they move through the shrink tunnel
- Auto-lift heat tunnel system - HZ-100 heat tunnel is automatically raised during conveyor stoppages to avoid damaging sleeved product
- Intuitive, industry standard PackML programming & HMI user interfaces - Consistent terminology, consistent screen displays and standardized program structures enhance ease of operation and maintenance
-
Options
- Dual Applicator Heads - Second head increases production speeds up to 120 cpm
- Print Registration System - Fiber optic sensor reads film registration marks so the PLC can calculate cut lengths to assure sleeve length accuracy
- Inspection & Rejection - Detects presence or absence of a sleeve (typically prior to shrink tunnel). No sleeve = container rejection
- Vertical, Horizontal & T Perforators - Add perforations to enhance ease of opening
- Non-round product handling - Rotates non-round containers to enhance shrink quality
- Date Code Printers – Integrated thermal transfer printing of UPC codes and date codes
- Infeed Hopper - Allows operators to load product into an automated container feed system that meters and discharges single containers onto the infeed conveyor
- Spare Parts Kit - Recommended start-up parts inventory
