Common questions

FAQ's

What does a Lance shrink tank do in a commercial packaging line?

Lance shrink tanks quickly shrink vacuum pouch film around products after sealing by moving items through heated water via immersion or conveying. This creates a tight, consistent finish that helps presentation and package integrity. They’re commonly used after vacuum chambers for meats, poultry, cheeses, and prepared foods, helping processors standardize end‑of‑line results across varied production layouts.

Can a Lance shrink tank integrate with my existing vacuum chamber or dip tunnel setup?

Yes—processors can integrate Lance shrink tanks alongside vacuum chambers and dip tunnels in diverse production layouts. By positioning the tank after sealing, you can achieve consistent shrink results that support presentation and package integrity. If you’d like help assessing fit, contact us to discuss your workflow and request a quote tailored to your application needs.

What products are Lance shrink tanks suitable for?

Lance shrink tanks are suitable for meats, poultry, cheeses, and prepared foods that are vacuum packed prior to shrinking. After sealing, products are immersed in or conveyed through heated water to tighten the pouch film. This process delivers a uniform appearance and helps maintain package integrity for commercial processors seeking repeatable, end‑of‑line results.
