Shrink Sleeve Tunnel (SST) Series | SST-M3S, SST-M2S, SST-M1S

Sleeve Seal Steam Shrink Tunnels deliver efficient, controllable shrink labeling using steam and are available in multiple lengths—M1S, M2S, and M3S—to match your production speed. Each tunnel features a stainless steel interior to resist corrosion, along with removable service doors for easy maintenance.

Cam lock handles secure the nozzle arrays, enabling quick, tool-free adjustments, while location indicators ensure repeatable, accurate setups. External controls allow operators to manage nozzle array pressure safely without opening the tunnel doors.

With their user-friendly design, broad range of controls, and robust safety features, Sleeve Seal Steam Shrink Tunnels are the ideal choice for achieving high-quality shrink labeling, even on the most uniquely shaped containers.

Max Conveyor Width: 7.5” / 190mm

Conveyor Elevation: 37.5 – 54” / 952-1371mm (Customization Available)

Access Cabinet

Every Sleeve Seal machine is housed in a heavy gauge stainless steel cabinet and includes lockable service doors for ease of maintenance and safety. Access to the front of the cabinet is managed with Allen Bradley safety interlock switches to ensure safety. Operators are able to manage operation and changeovers using a customized HMI and synchronized adjusters.

Cutter Box

Our patented cutter box design utilizes four to eight synchronized cutting blade heads for fast, precise cuts that won’t leave jagged film ends. Sleeve Seal cutter boxes use common, affordable utility blades that can be found in a local hardware store with other blade types available for use in harsh environments. Sleeve Seal’s modular design allows for easy replacement of blades and fast changeovers between formats.

FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about shrink sleeve machinery, labeling technology, and product packaging solutions.

A steam shrink tunnel is often the ideal choice for uniquely shaped containers because it provides efficient, uniform heat distribution. Unlike electric tunnels, steam allows for precise control over the shrinking process, ensuring the sleeve label conforms perfectly to the container's contours without distorting graphics or leaving bubbles. Our SST-MS series is specifically designed for high-quality results, giving your products a professional, "painted-on" look.

Choosing the correct shrink tunnel depends on your line speed and the required "dwell time" for the labels to shrink correctly. Sleeve Seal offers the SST Series in multiple lengths: the M1S (76”), M2S (135”), and M3S (194”). For a high-speed shrink sleeve labeler or a multi-head shrink sleeve machine, a longer tunnel like the M3S is necessary to maintain quality at high volumes, ensuring every sleeve label is fully and accurately shrunk before exiting the line.

All SST Series shrink tunnels are built with a stainless steel interior to resist corrosion and feature removable service doors for easy maintenance. Safety is prioritized with Allen Bradley safety interlock switches and external controls that allow operators to adjust nozzle array pressure without opening the doors. This robust shrink sleeve equipment also includes cam lock handles and location indicators for quick, tool-free adjustments, ensuring your shrink sleeve labeler system remains efficient and operator-friendly.
