ST3 Shrink Tank

The ST3 is a fully automatic hot water shrink tank, designed for the production of ideal shrink packages from the hot water bath.
As a general rule, the ST3 is a component of the VC999 shrink line system, but it can also be integrated into packaging lines with external systems.

The ST3 shrink tank offers various variants for line integration in the inlet and outlet areas of the machine, as well as for control integration. The electrical version of the ST3 requires no compressed air and has an intuitive operator guidance on the touch screen display.
