Steam Head V1 – Non-Motorized – Light Products / Containers

Steam Head Attachment for the SST Shrink Sleeve Label Applicator

SST Steam Heads are made to go interchangeably with our shrink sleeve machine so users can quickly switch between container sizes with no inconvenience. The steam head itself serves as a small and quick steam tunnel for containers with shrink sleeves to pass through fully sleeved. This is an upgrade from the slow conveyor belt style “portable shrink sleeve tunnels and heat guns.” They are also engineered to capture and funnel excess moisture back into the water reservoir to eliminate most of the condensation from dripping out of the head.

How to Choose the Right Size Steam Head

To select the appropriate steam head size, begin by measuring the diameter of your container. Once you have obtained the diameter, opt for the next available steam head size larger than the measured diameter. This will ensure optimal performance, as it provides sufficient space for the container to be inserted while still allowing for thorough steam application.

Steam Heads for All Types of Packaging

Choose from 9 different stock sizes of steam heads for your shrink sleeve machine. Bottles, containers, and pre-roll tubes in the beauty, food and beverage, and personal care industries work great. Contact us if you would like to learn about the differences between steam heads to help you decide on the size that’s best for you.

Each steam head contains grooves that rotate containers evenly when applying steam and heat. Our Version 2 range starts with a diameter of one-half inch, increasing in quarter-inch increments up to two and one-half inches. The servo can catch most containers before they drop through, giving them another second to achieve an even application – even for heavier containers!

Made in USA – Factory Direct – Steam System

SST Steam Heads are designed for compatibility with our shrink sleeve machine, allowing users to easily switch between various container sizes without disruption. The steam head itself works as a compact and swift steam tunnel for containers with shrink sleeves, ensuring complete sleeve application. Inside the steam head are grooves that rotate containers to achieve even heat and steam distribution. This innovation surpasses the sluggish conveyor belt style “portable” shrink sleeve tunnels and heat guns.

The steam heads have also been engineered such that any excess moisture is captured and funneled back into the water reservoir, stopping it from dripping out of the head and helping you conserve more water while minimizing refills.
