BOSS ATT 46 A
Designed for dip-shrinking packaging in shrink film.
The BOSS ATT 46 A is a shrink dip tank from the BOSS brand (Helmut Boss Verpackungsmaschinen KG, Germany), designed for dip-shrinking packaging in shrink film. It serves as an integral part of a shrink-film packaging line. Using this unit extends product shelf life through vacuum packaging combined with shrinking, and improves the aesthetics of the packaging.
How does the BOSS ATT 46 A shrink dip tank work?
A product that has already been vacuum-packed in shrink film is immersed in the tank’s chamber, which is filled with heated water. Under the effect of temperature, the film shrinks tightly around the surface of the product, creating an attractive, closely fitting package. The DIP 200 controller monitors the water level and temperature in the tank, and an immersion (dip) depth of approximately 250 mm allows packages weighing up to approximately 110 kg to be shrunk. A dip-chamber cover reduces heat loss during operation, improving the process’s energy efficiency.
Key advantages of the BOSS ATT 46 A shrink dip tank
Combining vacuum packaging with film shrinking extends the shelf life of packaged products and significantly improves the aesthetics of the packaging — the film adheres tightly to the product, eliminating air pockets and loose material. The water level and temperature monitoring system ensures repeatable shrinking results regardless of the production batch, resulting in consistently high-quality finished packaging.
The unit’s compact dimensions allow it to be integrated into a packaging line as the next processing step, directly after vacuum packaging, without the need to move the product between separate workstations. The tank’s construction, in line with standards used in the food industry, makes it easier to keep the unit clean.
