The STS 1509-2 is a compact shrink tunnel that delivers controlled heat, adjustable airflow, and consistent conveyor movement. With a maximum package capacity of 13 inches wide by 7 inches high, it suits smaller shrink-wrapped products that need an even, professional finish.
A PID temperature controller helps operators maintain the selected tunnel temperature. Meanwhile, the variable-speed live roller conveyor provides additional control over product dwell time. As a result, operators can balance heat exposure and conveyor speed for different products and shrink films.
The STS 1509-2 combines a compact footprint with the essential controls needed for reliable shrink packaging. Its heat-recirculating air system moves heated air throughout the chamber. Additionally, operators can adjust blower velocity to match different products and film characteristics.
High-efficiency stainless steel heating tubes provide durable heat generation. Likewise, Teflon-mesh conveyor rollers support smooth package movement through the chamber. Heat guards also help protect operators around hot machine surfaces.
Key operating features include:
The STS 1509-2 accommodates packages up to 13 inches wide and 7 inches high. Therefore, it works well for smaller boxed products, multipacks, components, printed materials, and other items enclosed in suitable shrink film.
Its heating chamber measures 27 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 9 inches high. However, users should size applications according to the manufacturer’s 13-inch-wide by 7-inch-high maximum package specification rather than the chamber dimensions alone.
Because this machine functions as a shrink tunnel, an appropriate sealer must form and seal the film before the package enters the heated chamber. Product dimensions, film type, seal location, and required production speed should all guide system selection.

This tunnel provides a practical choice when floor space and package size favor a compact machine. Moreover, its single-phase electrical configuration may suit facilities that do not have three-phase service near the packaging area. Facilities should still verify circuit capacity and local installation requirements before commissioning the equipment.
For larger products or greater heating capacity, compare the STS 1609-3 shrink tunnel. Alternatively, review Ameripak’s broader selection of shrink tunnels when package dimensions, line speed, or available utilities require another configuration.
Ameripak helps customers evaluate package dimensions, shrink film, electrical service, conveyor height, and desired line speed before equipment selection. Consequently, buyers receive a solution matched to the entire packaging process instead of selecting a tunnel from specifications alone.
Ameripak can also support equipment integration, replacement parts, preventive maintenance, and packaging materials. Therefore, customers gain one knowledgeable source for the shrink system and its ongoing operating requirements.
