Pacmasta Hood Shrink Machine – 320 X 460 X 200H Mm 1 Phase

Description

The hood shrink machine 320x460x200 1 phase from Pacmasta is a single-phase shrink wrapping unit designed to seal and protect products by applying heat to shrink plastic film securely around them. With a hood opening of 320 x 460 x 200mm (height), it accommodates a practical range of product sizes and connects to a standard single-phase power supply, making it straightforward to integrate into most warehouse or production environments without the need for three-phase wiring.

How a Hood Shrink Machine Works

A hood shrink machine operates by lowering a heated hood over a product that has already been loosely wrapped or bagged in shrink film. The heat generated inside the hood causes the film to contract uniformly around the product, forming a tight, protective outer layer. This approach suits products that are difficult to pass through a conventional heat tunnel, or where a compact, semi-manual process is preferred. Because this unit runs on a single-phase supply, it can typically be connected to a standard workshop or warehouse outlet with minimal setup.

Key Features of the Hood Shrink Machine 320x460x200 1 Phase

• Hood opening dimensions: 320 x 460 x 200mm (H) – accommodates a practical range of product footprints and heights
• Single-phase power supply – compatible with standard electrical installations, no three-phase wiring required
• Applies heat evenly to shrink plastic film around products for a neat, consistent finish
• Semi-manual operation – the operator lowers the hood over the wrapped product, providing direct control over the shrink process
• Compact footprint – suited to facilities where bench or floor space is limited
• Part of the Pacmasta range of shrink wrap machines, designed for reliable performance in packaging applications

Typical Applications

The hood shrink machine 320x460x200 1 phase is used across a broad range of industries where products need to be sealed, bundled, or protected with shrink film. Common applications include packaging retail goods, hardware items, food products (where an appropriate film is used), promotional packs, and industrial components. It is particularly well suited to operations that handle varied product sizes within the machine’s hood dimensions, or where a heat tunnel is not practical due to space or throughput requirements. Small-to-medium manufacturers, distribution centres, and packaging contractors will find this unit a practical addition to a manual or semi-automatic packing line.

Why Choose a Single-Phase Hood Shrink Machine

Selecting a 1 phase machine removes the need for specialised electrical infrastructure. Most standard workshop and warehouse power outlets operate on a single-phase supply, so the hood shrink machine 320x460x200 1 phase can often be operational with minimal installation work. This makes it a cost-effective and accessible option for businesses setting up a new packing station or adding capacity to an existing line without electrical upgrades.

If your operation requires a wider hood opening or you have three-phase power readily available, the Pacmasta Hood Shrink Machine 320 x 550 x 200H mm 3 Phase offers a larger hood and is suited to more demanding applications.
