Application of Beer Can Shrink Sleeve applicator

Application Process of Beer Can Shrink Sleeve Applicator 

1. Core Components 

Conveyor belt, sleeve feeding mechanism, heat tunnel, cooling zone, sensors.  

2. Operational Process  

Sleeve Loading: Pre-formed sleeves are placed onto cans via pneumatic/mechanical arms.  

Heat Shrinking: High-temperature tunnel (90–150°C) shrinks sleeves to conform tightly to cans.  

Cooling & Stabilization: Ensures sleeves retain shape without deformation.  

3. Key Parameters  

Speed: Synchronized with production lines (up to 100,000 cans/hour).  

Compatibility: Adapts to various can sizes (diameter/height) and materials (PVC, PETG, biodegradable films).  

Quality Control: Sensors detect misalignment/defects; automatic rejection of defective cans.  

4. Advantages  

360° full-wrap branding, waterproof, damage-resistant, fits irregularly shaped cans.  

5. Common Issues & Solutions  

Sleeve misalignment: Calibrate feeding and positioning systems.  

Uneven shrinkage: Optimize temperature and airflow.  

Eco-friendly material adaptation: Reduce heating temperature for biodegradable sleeves.  

6. Maintenance & Safety 

Regular checks on heating elements and lubrication; emergency stops and ventilation systems.  

7. Sustainability  

Compatible with biodegradable sleeves, requiring minimal line modification.  

Summary: Ensures efficient, high-quality labeling while aligning with eco-friendly trends and diverse design needs, enabling continuous production output.
