♦ The containers with sleeves applied to them are fed through the steaming tunnel.

♦ The steam pressure adjustment facility and shut-off valve for the extraction system enable the required temperature in each segment of the tunnel to be set.

♦ The sleeve shrinks under the impact of the heat and adapts to the shape of the container.

♦ The finished, sleeved container leaves the steaming tunnel.
