FMCG- Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector is one of the highest demand industries. It majorly comprises food and beverages, hence has a short shelf life. Owing to its non-durability for a longer time, the importance of Shrink Machine in India  in the FMCG sector has increased drastically. 

A shrink-wrapping machine wraps a film around the item and then shrinks that film tightly on that product under the influence of a heat source.

Shrink-wrapping is a widely used packaging technique in small to large-scale businesses to increase the shelf life of their items at low costs. Here are 5 reasons why the importance of shrink-wrapping machines in the FMCG sector is a big hit.

 It Keeps Edible Items Fresh

Shrink-wrapping plays a very crucial role in bringing down food waste. This packaging technique prevents moisture, dust, and oxygen from reaching the edible item enclosed inside. This, in turn, reduces the chances of the product getting degraded and increases its shelf life. Once sealed, the items become less vulnerable to any damage that can be caused by the external environment.


DOG EAR

 

A dog ear has become the most common complaint in the shrink-wrapping industry, and it can be found on many shrink-wrapped products in retail stores. Dog ears are triangular swellings of shrink film at the product's edges that signify an absence of shrinkage. They frequently occur on corners or in areas where there is a large amount of excess film BEFORE shrinking is completed.

 

Causes:

 

  • Incorrect amount of heat.
  • The shrink film bag is far too big.
  • Too many perforations in the wrong place on a high or round product.
  • Too many perforations or weak seals permit too much air to escape.

 

Solutions:

 

  • Increase or reduce the tunnel temperature in 10-degree increments while surveilling package shrink.
  • Before shrinking, reduce the bag size of the package. (To make the bag tighter)
  • Reduce the tunnel conveyor's speed.
  • Increase the air velocity in the tunnel.
  • The appropriate amount of perforation.

 

FISH EYES

 

Fish eyes are either circular in shape, or oval patterns caused by poor shrinking on a package. Fish eyes make your package appear amateurish.

 

Causes:

 

  • Inadequate heat.
  • Inadequate air velocity.
  • Too many perforations or inadequate seals.

 

 

Solutions:

 

  • Heat up the tunnel to the appropriate temperature.
  • Allow for sufficient tunnel air velocity from your heat source.
  • Reduce the tunnel conveyor speed.
  • Reduce the size of the bag.
