Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2347960A1] The tunnel (10) has a transportation path (8) for an article (22), where the article is supplied with shrinking medium i.e. warm air (30), via a folding-shaft wall (12). Outer shafts (40) and a shaft are arranged parallel to each other. The shaft is arranged at inner side (11) of the tunnel and swiveled out at an axis on the transport path. The shaft includes lower and upper portions, which are movable against each other such that height of the shaft is reduced. A folding mechanism is arranged between the portions of the shaft, where the lower portion is folded in an upward direction. An independent claim is also included for a method for converting a shrink tunnel.
