Hood-Type Shrink Units

Compact hood shrink wrappers for reliable shrinking and sealing

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.

Suitable packaging material for hood-type shrink units

Polyolefin Fine Shrink Film

Polyolefin fine shrink films are among the most popular materials in film packaging. They are extremely thin, highly transparent, and recyclable. Unlike PE films, POF shrink films shrink without wrinkles and fit around your product like a second skin.

PE Shrink Film

Our PE shrink film provides your products with optimum protection against external influences such as dirt and even acids and alkalis. It is food-safe, highly transparent and has high tear resistance.

A hood-type shrink unit combines sealing and shrinking in a single operation. The product is placed in film, the hood is closed, and the film is shrunk by applying heat – resulting in a tight-fitting, transparent package.

Hood-type shrink units are particularly suitable for small to medium-sized products such as:

Books, software & media
Cosmetics, confectionery
Food packaging
Gift sets or promotional items

They offer a high-quality appearance at the point of sale.

Compact design – ideal for small production or sales areas
Combined sealing and shrinking process saves time
Suitable for PE, POF or PVC films
Easy to operate by just one person
Good entry-level solution for smaller production volumes

Depending on the model, polyolefin (POF), PVC or thin PE shrink films can be processed in hood-type shrink units. The choice depends on the product, appearance and protection requirements.
Do you need suitable films? We also supply POF fine shrink films directly from the manufacturer.

Yes – for higher throughput or series packaging, we recommend fully automatic side sealing machines or L-angle sealers with integrated shrink tunnels.
