Brief Description
Description : | The shrink wrapping process is simple and requires only a sealer and hot-air shrink tunnel. Individual pomegranate or capsicum fruit is loosely sealed in a flexible film using a film sealer and the packs are then passed through a heat-shrunk tunnel for a very short period (a few seconds). The loosely sealed film shrinks tightly over the surface of the commodity in the shrink tunnel and comes out individually tight-wrapped. |
