Critical Technology Advantages
Condensation Shrinking vs. Heat Tunnels:
✅ Moisture-Sensitive Product Safety:
• Uniform steam distribution prevents hot spots
• No thermal degradation of APIs/creams
• Ideal for probiotics, enzymes, vaccines
✅ Perfect Adhesion:
- Eliminates label bubbling/wrinkling
- Conforms to irregular container shapes
- Tamper-evident neck seals
✅ Energy Efficiency:
• 45% less energy than hot-air tunnels
• Water recovery system (optional)
• Instant on/off (no preheating)
