Axon HZ-100 Horizontal Shrink Sleeve System

Apply Tamper Bands and Shrink Sleeves to Small, Cylindrical Products

Axon HZ-100 horizontal shrink systems are designed to apply tamper evident bands and shrink sleeve labels to small diameter, cylindrical products such as lipsticks, eyeliner pencils, mascaras, and lip balms that are not easily handled in a vertical position.

The HZ-100 features an integrated tamper band or sleeve applicator with a shrink tunnel built on a single, stainless steel monobloc frame.

This complete shrink system includes a horizontal applicator with a static reduction system, an innovative after-tamp sleeve centering station, an integrated compact heat tunnel, a roller conveyor that rotates product inside the heat tunnel, and a discharge ramp for gentle discharge of products from the system.

Axon HZ-100 horizontal tamper band and shrink sleeve systems are a proven solution for leading beauty and personal care product companies around the world.
