Introduction General System Description The AFM ES-200A heat shrink tunnel is designed for the shrinking of heat shrink film (labels, tamper bands, multi-pack), on containers over which they have been applied. AFM shrink tunnels are intended for industrial use only.
Film Thickness: 0.035 mm to 0.07 mm Temperature: 400 °F Optional Equipment Conveyor: The conveyor is customer-supplied. For conveyor options, consider an Eastey conveyor system. Call AFM Customer Service for more information. External Controls: Call AFM Customer Service for more information. 4510003 Rev B...
AC power. Work Area The ES-200A may require occasional cleaning due to environmental contaminants. Maintenance Access When planning the installation, allow for easy access to the tunnel for convenient cleanup, maintenance, and repair.

Installation and Setup 13 Tunnel Placement A conveyor must be used with the tunnel to move the product while it is being sleeved. 1. Position the tunnel next to the conveyor, considering product size and location on conveyor. 2. Ensure that all controls on both control panels are easily accessible. 3.
14 Installation and Setup Connecting Power CAUTION: Before connecting power, verify that the power switches are in the OFF position. Connect an appropriate electrical plug to the end of the cord. Plug the power cords from the conveyor and tunnel into properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
Operation 15 Operation Startup 1. Before starting the ES-200A Heat Tunnel, double-check the installation. 2. Verity that all power cables are properly connected. 3. Turn the Heat Tunnel Power Switch located on the front of the Control Cabinet to the ON position.

Operation 19 The VFD-M fan control modules control each large fan motor speed. The smaller fans on the top outer edges of the tunnel begin running automatically when the Tunnel power Switch is turned to the ON position. The tunnel is shipped with the fan controls set at F60.0, which equals 60 Hz or full power of the fans.
20 Operation Temperature Control Module The SDC15 (Temperature Control) controls the chamber temperature in the heat zone. Heating elements are inside the top of the tunnel and run the length of the tunnel. Heating Elements Temperature Control After a temperature setpoint has been selected, run some product and observe the results.
Operation 21 The control has an alarm output which is factory set to process high and process low temperatures. The heat turns off if the chamber temperature exceeds 425 °F or falls below the low process temperature setting. TEMPERATURE CONTROL SDC15 Upper Display Lower Display...
22 Maintenance Interior Vents Inside the heat tunnel, rows of adjustable louvers can be moved using the provided adjustment tool to facilitate variable airflow at different sections throughout the tunnel. Increasing the speed creates more heat pressure in the tunnel. Use the airflow pressure and vent adjustments to achieve the desired shrink for each product.
Maintenance 23 Maintenance The AFM ES-200A tunnel requires very little maintenance during normal operation. Mounting Hardware and Connections Occasionally check the mounting hardware. Retighten any mounting brackets or screws that may have vibrated loose during operation. Occasionally verify that the data cable connections between components are secure and properly seated.
Troubleshooting 29 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Suggested Solution Power is off Circuit breaker switch is off at Turn circuit breaker off, then the machine or the plant main back on. panel. If circuit breaker keeps tripping, check the fuse. Check the circuit breaker switch. Heater is not running Heating coils are open.
