Hot water dip tank for immersion shrinking

Enhance the appearance and seal integrity of vacuum-packaged products with a robust and efficient immersion shrinking solution designed to withstand the harsh conditions of food processing environments.

The Dip Tank TU 1080 from Starvac Systems is a robust immersion shrinking solution tailored for food production and packaging companies. This unit is engineered with a solid stainless steel structure, offering exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh environments such as meat, cheese, fish, and poultry packaging. It employs electric heating elements to maintain precise water temperatures, ensuring optimal shrinkage and sealing of vacuum-packed products. Operated by a sophisticated PLC system, the TU 1080 allows precise control over immersion times and can seamlessly switch to conveyor mode for products not requiring shrinkage. With an 800 mm inlet width and 250 mm immersion depth, it integrates effortlessly into both manual and automatic production lines, enhancing packaging aesthetics and integrity while optimizing throughput.

Benefits

  • Enhances product presentation and seal integrity, improving shelf appeal and ensuring freshness.
  • Offers versatile operation modes, accommodating both shrinking and non-shrinking packaging needs.
  • Minimizes maintenance with stainless steel construction, reducing long-term operational costs.
  • Increases operational efficiency with precise PLC control, optimizing processing time and water temperature.
  • Integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, enhancing workflow without extensive modifications.
