Heat Seal T3417 Shrink Tunnel

The Heat Seal T3417 is a compact shrink tunnel for professional packaging operations. It has a 34" long tunnel, dual heat zones, and a variable-speed conveyor, and it shrinks consistently across a range of products. Typical work is retail items, bundles, and promotional kits. The T3417 includes digital temperature control, high-velocity airflow, and an automatic cool-down cycle that extends heater life.

Other Heat Seal tunnels and sealers

A shrink tunnel only shrinks film that is already sealed around the product. Pair the T3417 with one of our shrink wrap sealers.

For a wider and taller chamber, step up to the Heat Seal T3422 at $11,730. Its chamber is 34 in. long, 22 in. wide and 10 in. high, and it needs 50 to 60 amps.

Heat Seal T3417 questions

What size product fits the T3417?

The tunnel chamber is 34 in. long, 17 in. wide and 8 in. high as standard. Product must pass through that opening on the conveyor.

What is the difference between the T3417 and the T3422?

Chamber width and power. The T3422 is the wider machine, at 60 in. x 31 in. x 57 in. overall against the T3417 at 59 in. x 26.25 in. x 58 in., and it draws 50 to 60 amps against the T3417 at 43.

What power does it need?

208 to 240V single phase at 43 amps, drawing 8,000 watts.

How fast is the conveyor?

0 to 30 ft per minute standard, up to 70 ft per minute with the live and dead roller configuration. Rollers are silicone covered at 2 in. spacing, with 1 in. spacing optional.

Do I need a sealer as well as the tunnel?

Yes. A shrink tunnel shrinks film that has already been sealed around the product. The sealer and the tunnel are separate machines, and Mid-State Litho carries both.
