Hi

Does anyone use a large automatic heat shrink tunnel to wrap pallet size loads?

I'm looking for user feedback on safety aspects from anyone who does.

TIA

I don't have one, but I've done CE & PUWER assessments on a couple.

What are you looking for?

Hi

Looking at temperature levels, safety systems, auto cut off's, specifications, user guides, best practice anything really that would help quell any concerns about the thing catching fire or creating enough heat to ignite.

OK, that’s pretty fundamental stuff that should be covered by the manufacturer. How old is the tunnel. Is it CE marked? Have you got the manuals, drawings etc. for it? If it is CE marked, do you have the DoC? If so is the DoC correct?

Sorry i wasn't clear with my question.

I haven't got one, but am thinking about the safety pro's and con's before i start investigating.

If the machine is available on the market in the EU then it must be safe, and thus nothing for you to think about! :) That’s what the law says.
