Our shrink tunnels are a reliable solution for professional shrink packaging. The products are gently and evenly wrapped in shrink film, creating a stable, protective cover. This means that goods are ideally protected from moisture, dust and damage. BVS shrink tunnels can be used flexibly, as they can be optimally adapted to different types of film and product sizes thanks to variable settings for temperature and conveyor speed. Whether for the food industry, the beverage, printing or non-food sector - our systems will noticeably increase your packaging efficiency.
Shrink tunnels are specialized packaging systems that transport packaged products through a heated channel. Under controlled heat, the shrink film is drawn tightly around the goods and forms a firm, snug-fitting wrap. This process is established in many sectors, for example in the food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. It is used both to protect products and to enhance their appearance.
Inside the tunnel, heat - usually from hot air, more rarely from infrared radiation or steam - is evenly distributed. As the products pass through on a conveyor belt, the film reacts to the heat, contracts and adheres closely to each contour. In some systems, additional air nozzles or rollers at the outlet ensure that the film sleeve is perfectly smoothed and fixed. The temperature, air flow and conveyor speed can be precisely adjusted to accommodate different film thicknesses and product properties.
Shrink tunnels are available in various designs: compact tabletop units for small quantities, high-performance systems for industrial mass production or hybrid solutions in combination with Welding systems. Some models have zones with different temperature ranges in order to package even complex product shapes evenly. In many cases, the conveyor speed, cooling zone and air circulation can be individually programmed to achieve perfect packaging results.

Packaging - As much as necessary,
as little as possible
BVS uses the NaturePak label for products that enable ecologically sound use, reduce CO2 emissions and generate less waste, regardless of the packaging material used.
Our strategy
Packaging made from recycled paper
Paper pays off for people and the environment in the long term. It is even better to use paper with a high recycled content. Recycled paper optimizes water and energy consumption and thus protects the environment and climate by reducing waste. Recycled paper offers a wide range of added value for all users.
Plastic packaging with recycled content
Polyethylene films are increasingly being produced with a proportion of recycled material, which - as far as technically possible - is being continuously increased. They are the most modern and safest quality packaging for all branches of industry. Due to their low density and excellent physical and mechanical properties, PE films have major advantages over paper, cardboard, metal and glass.
