Unpacking
Thoroughly inspect the equipment and packaging immediately on arrival.
Carefully remove the outer protective shipping wrapper. Inspect the machine for any
damage that may have occurred during transit. If goods are received short or in
damaged condition, it is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before they leave
your company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage across the bill of lading.
Otherwise no claim can be enforced against the transportation company. Please note
that a copy of this document is attached to the outside of every crate.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify your carrier at once and insist on an
inspection. This is absolutely necessary. A concealed damage report must be made
within ten (10) days of delivery of shipment.
Unless you do this, the carrier will not entertain any claim for loss or damage. The agent
will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you give the
transportation company a clear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or lost in
transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filled within five (5) months of the delivery date or the carrier will not
accept them.
We are willing to assist you in every reasonable manner to help you collect claims for
loss or damage. However, this willingness on Eastey’s part does not make Eastey or its
parent or related companies responsible for collections or claims or replacement of
equipment damaged or lost in transit.

16 Installation
Installation
Carefully unpack the outer carton and shipping material. Although the exterior of the
shrink tunnel is coated with a custom two part epoxy finish that resists scratching, avoid
denting, scratching, or otherwise damaging the oven exterior.
Lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet.
CAUTION! ET Performance Series Shrink Tunnels are heavy and may
require a forklift, floor crane, or several people to move the
machine safely. Use proper equipment when lifting the shrink
tunnel and ensure it is secure and will not shift while being
moved off the shipping pallet.
Place the shrink tunnel in the desired location with the required electrical power source
available. (See power requirements for the specific model in the Specifications table.)
Make sure the electrical wiring is adequate to provide the required voltage. If the voltage
provided is too low, the equipment will not operate correctly.
Selecting the proper location is one of the most important considerations for initial
setup. When selecting the location, take into consideration the following factors.
1. Adequate power supply nearby?
2. Where is the shrink tunnel in relation to the power source?
3. Where is the shrink tunnel in relation to the sealer and any conveyor(s)
necessary to move wrapped and bundled (finished) product? (Alignment with
packaging line.)
4. Convenience for the operator.
Note: Avoid locating the shrink tunnel in cold or drafty areas, as
heat may be unintentionally drawn from the tunnel and
reduce its efficiency.
If there is any doubt, get qualified assistance with your initial installation.

Installation 17
Location Requirements
When installing the shrink tunnel please be aware of the following considerations:
1. The surface on which it is located is flat and level.
2. Conveyor or packing table height.
3. Alignment with packaging line.
When the shrink tunnel is positioned in the operating location you will need access to
the control panel.
Provision should be made for finished exiting packages. For example, a table or bin
where packages that have been sealed will be placed until they can be picked up or
moved out.
Take into consideration the entrance conveyor height in relation adjacent machinery,
such as the sealer feeding into it, for example.
The machine should be placed on a flat, level floor so that it does not rock or move. We
recommend that the leveling feet be used to level the machine.
Set up the shrink tunnel and move it to its location. The casters allow easy movement
over smooth flat surfaces.
CAUTION! If the shrink tunnel must be lifted for moving, use proper
equipment when lifting and moving it to ensure it is secure
and will not shift.
When the shrink tunnel has been moved to its location, use the leveling legs to level the
conveyor and adjust it to its final height. A power cord to the main electrical disconnect
switch (with optional electrical plug) should be installed by a licensed electrician.
Refer to instructions in the following section for instructions to power up or shut down
the machine.

20 Operation
Sequence of Operation
1. Turn on power to the shrink tunnel by toggling the Power switch near the upper left
of the control panel to the On position. (The temperature in the tunnel will be
displayed on the temperature control.)
2. Turn the Heater Bank toggle switch at the right of the Power switch to the On
position to turn on the heater bank.
3. Set the conveyor speed control at about midrange for initial operation. This can be
fine-tuned later. (Exact desired conveyor speed can be determined later, based on
package size and sealer speed.)
4. Set the temperature controller to the temperature recommended for your shrink-wrap
material. This temperature may need to be adjusted higher or lower until you have
achieved satisfactory shrink sealing. Once the correct temperature for a product has
been set, you should not need to adjust the temperature again as long as you are
running the same product.
5. Adjust the blower speed or chamber ventilation for proper air flow.
For models manufactured in 2015 and forward, a second speed controller allows
for adjusting blower speed.
For earlier models manufactured before 2015, use the knob at the end of the end
of the unit, above the tunnel to adjust the louvers for desired ventilation.
CAUTION! When shutting down the tunnel, be sure to turn the Heater
Bank switch to Off and wait for the tunnel to cool down, then
turn off the Power toggle switch. (Refer to the procedure for
setting the cool-down temperature. Temperature will be
displayed on the temperature controls.) Once cool-down
temperature is reached and motors have shut down, then
shut off the Power switch.
