METHOD TO CONVERTING A SHRINK TUNNEL OF A PRODUCTION MODE AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING A SHRINK TUNNEL FROM A PRODUCTION MODE TO A STANDSTILL MODE

摘要

A method for converting a shrink tunnel to a production mode, the method comprising at least opening one shrink tunnel entrance section and/or opening one shrink tunnel exit section. Furthermore, the method comprises at least one of the following steps: a) raising the temperature inside the shrink tunnel to a predefined target value (Ti-PM); b) switching on the conveyance means or raising the speed of the conveyance means to a specified target value (V(F)-PM); c) switching on or increasing the chain cooling capacity to a specified target value (P(F)-PM); d) switching on or increasing the bundle cooling capacity to a specified target value (P(G)-PM). According to the invention, the opening of the shrink tunnel entrance section and/or the opening of the shrink tunnel exit section are performed at the earliest together with carrying out one of the steps a), b), c), and/or d).
