ThermoRay Radiant System - Heat Shrink Sleeving on Glass Bottles

This video demonstrates the ThermoRay radiant heat shrink tunnel performing heat shrink sleeving on glass bottles. The system is shown delivering consistent, even heat exposure as sleeved containers pass through the radiant heating zone.

The ThermoRay tunnel uses infrared radiant heat technology designed to support controlled shrink performance without the use of steam or recirculating forced-air utilities. In the video, glass bottles move smoothly through the tunnel, illustrating how radiant heat is applied evenly around the container for reliable sleeve conformance.

ThermoRay tunnels are commonly used for applications requiring compact equipment footprints and precise heat control. The video highlights a glass bottle application where consistent shrink quality and stable container handling are critical.

FAQs

Why is a radiant heat shrink tunnel a good choice for glass bottle applications?
Radiant heat shrink tunnels apply infrared heat evenly around the container, making them well suited for glass bottles where controlled, consistent heat exposure is important for uniform sleeve conformance.

What types of shrink sleeve applications can ThermoRay tunnels support?
ThermoRay radiant heat tunnels are used for shrink sleeve and tamper-evident band applications, including partial-body, full-body, and neck band sleeves, depending on system configuration.

How does radiant heat differ from steam or convective heat for shrink sleeving?
Radiant heat systems use infrared heating elements to deliver direct heat to the sleeve material without steam or recirculating forced air. This approach is often selected for applications that require compact equipment and precise heat control.

When is a ThermoRay tunnel typically selected over other heat tunnel technologies?
ThermoRay tunnels are commonly chosen for applications where space is limited, utilities such as steam are not available, or where an economical, compact heat tunnel solution is preferred.

Can ThermoRay tunnels be integrated into existing production lines?
Yes. ThermoRay radiant heat shrink tunnels are designed for integration into production lines and can be mounted over existing conveyors or configured with optional floor stands based on line requirements.
