Shrinkfast 998, Operatin

D. How to Shrink

1. Palletizing
Your SHRINKFAST gun consumes oxygen
and must be used only in well ventilated
areas. 
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE GUN IN
AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES OR
WHERE SMOKING IS 
PROHIBITED.

a. Elevate the pallet load approximately 6 
inches from the floor, leaving the under 
sides of the four corners unobstructed.
b. Fit the pallet bag over the load, taking 
care that the film is not punctured as it is 
pulled into place. The bag should fit snugly
over the goods and overhand the base of 
the pallet almost to the floor.
c. To bottom shrink, ignite the gun and 
hold it approximately 12” from the film sur
face. Move once around the pallet apply
-ing heat to the bottom edge of the bag 
and using the air velocity to blow it under 

the pallet. Shrink it so that it grasps the 
underside of the pallet firmly. In so doing, 
the bag is locked to the pallet, thereby uni-
tizing the load.
d. To side shrink, do one side after anoth-
er. Hold the gun approximately 12” from 
the film surface; shrink the side by sweep
-ing the gun smoothly across the bottom. 
Move up a foot and sweep back and con
-tinue sweeping across the face moving up
with every sweep until the side is finished. 
You will see the film wrinkling ahead of the
gun as the film behind commences to 
shrink. It is important that the gun be kept
in motion at all times. The action is very 
similar to spray painting.
As one side is completed, move to the 
next, each time commencing at the bot
tom and working your way up as you 
sweep from side to side.
e. The top of the pallet is shrunk last and 
requires less heat than the sides. This is
