Hot Water Shrink Tunnels

AutoShrink 98‑600 / 98-800

High‑performance hot water shrink tunnels for superior pack quality, product integrity, and line efficiency

The CRYOVAC® AutoShrink 98 series hot water shrink tunnels are engineered to deliver consistent, quality shrink performance across a wide range of food packaging applications. Engineered for seamless integration into automated Cryovac® packaging lines, AutoShrink 98‑600 and AutoShrink 98‑800 enhance pack appearance, reduce drip loss and improve resistance to damage while supporting operational efficiency and hygiene.

Dependable shrink performance for demanding food packaging environments

AutoShrink 98 shrink tunnels use a controlled hot water curtain process to tightly shrink Cryovac® shrink bags around the product. The result is a smooth, high‑clarity pack that enhances shelf presentation and minimises product movement.With continuous, fully automatic operation, the AutoShrink 98 range reduces operator involvement while delivering consistent, repeatable results throughout every production shift.

Features and Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a steam or electric-powered shrink tunnel?
Expand

The selection of the right type of shrink tunnel depends on your operation. Product type, speed, floor space, connectivity, and automation options all figure into the decision. While the heat source is just one of the considerations, the production (and loss) of heat in hot water shrink tunnel can create humidity in the work environment and elevate utility costs, so it’s important to consider your operating environment carefully before deciding. Shrink tunnel technology has been around for a long time without a lot of significant changes in energy management. We understand the impact today’s energy costs have on packaging operations, so we designed the AutoShrink 98 tunnel with an energy-efficient electric heating unit and steam recovery system to help lessen operational utility loads.
