How to Adjust Temperature Settings on a Shrinker Machine
Correct temperature control is one of the most important factors in achieving consistent, professional shrink packaging results. If temperatures are too high, film can burn or distort. If too low, the wrap may appear loose or incomplete. In the middle of daily packaging operations, a shrinker machine must be carefully adjusted to match the film type, product size, and production speed. Understanding how to fine-tune temperature settings helps improve package quality, reduce waste, and protect equipment. Understanding How Heat Affects Shrink Film The Role of Heat in Shrinking Shrink film is designed to contract when exposed to heat. The amount of heat required depends on the film’s composition and thickness. Proper temperature allows the film to shrink evenly around the product without damaging it or weakening the seal. Consequences of Incorrect Temperature Excessive heat can cause holes, wrinkles, or uneven shrink patterns. Insufficient heat often results in loose film and poor presen...
