The Max-Air T4822 is an industrial-grade shrink tunnel with a compact footprint, built for medium- to high-volume shrink wrapping in production and fulfillment settings. The tunnel chamber is 48" long with three heat zones and dual mechanical airflow controls, so heat stays even across the product. A variable-speed roller conveyor, digital temperature controls, and an automatic cool-down cycle are standard, and a stainless steel version is available for food, pharmaceutical, and corrosive environments.
Key features
- Three heat zones with dual airflow adjustments for consistent heating through the tunnel
- 48" tunnel chamber takes products up to 22" wide and 8" high
- Digital temperature controls with built-in overheat protection
- Automatic cool-down cycle extends the life of the heating elements
- Live/dead roller conveyor: high-temperature silicone-covered rollers on 2" spacing with a quick-change design
- Variable conveyor speed, 0-30 ft/min standard or 0-70 ft/min on the live/dead roller version
- Height-adjustable console on casters for flexible floor placement
- Optional stainless steel construction for food, pharma, or corrosive environments

Applications
The T4822 shrink wraps consumer goods, kits, and promo packs for retail, bundled books, documents, and mailers in print and publishing, food and beverage products on the stainless model, and inline or standalone work in contract packaging and fulfillment operations.
Available options
- Stainless steel construction (T4822S) for sanitary and corrosive environments
- Stainless or non-stick mesh belt conveyor to prevent sticking and support specialized films
- 1" roller spacing for smaller packages or tighter control
- 12" tunnel opening for taller product heights
- Reverse conveyor flow to adapt to varied facility layouts
Shrink coverage stays even across a wide range of product shapes, the auto cool-down and overheat protection reduce wear on the heating system, and the footprint fits mid-sized production lines.
