Hood-Type Shrink Units

Compact 2-in-1 solution for efficient small batch packaging

Ideal entry-level model for economical packaging of smaller quantities

The hood-type shrink unit is the ideal entry-level model for small quantities. The hood shrink machines (HSM series) are characterised by their innovative sealing and shrinking technology. This allows your products to be packaged efficiently and quickly in a single step (2-in-1 effect: sealing + shrinking). The ergonomic advantages of the hood shrink machines compared to conventional machines are their excellent sealing properties during film separation (slip-stick effect) and a constant heat circulation process for an optimal shrink appearance.
