Read MoreWhat Plasma Treating Does to a Surface Video Animation
Plasma Treatment cleaning, etching and functionalizing Atmospheric plasma treatment is used by manufacturers, converters and packagers to improve surface energy and adhesion. The animations below show how the process effectively functionalizes surfaces. These treatment systems diffuse reactive gases toward the surface under the influence of electrical fields. Low molecular weight materials such as water, absorbed…

Read MoreSauder Manufacturing Ensures Adhesion Consistency with Corona, Plasma & Flame Surface Treating
As Sr Research Scientist at Sauder Manufacturing in Archbold, OH John Beck has seen his share of production challenges. His first experience with surface treating took place in the 1980s when he was part of a team that needed to improve lamination adhesion. They invested in a 66” wide Enercon corona treater to increase the…
Read MoreClean & Remove Surface Contaminates with Atmospheric Plasma (Video Demonstration)
Atmospheric plasma surface treaters promote adhesion by removing organic and inorganic surface contaminants. This example demonstrates atmospheric plasma’s ability to micro-etch or clean without damaging the integrity of the surface. Enercon’s Blown-ion plasma treater treats both conductive and non-conductive surfaces. It can be mounted over the production line or integrated with a robot for more complex…
Read MoreDemonstration of Robotic Integration of Blown-ion Plasma Surface Treating
Enercon engineers integrated this multi axis robot for a plasma treating displayed at the KSHOW in Germany. The system treated plastic terminal connectors for ink jet printing, an automotive head lamp for bonding, and a gasket for adhesive assembly. Precise treatment paths and the ability to turn the treatment head on and off are all…
Read MoreBlown-arc Plasma Surface Treating Animation
Blown-arc air plasma is formed when atmospheric air is blown past two high voltage power electrodes. The electrical discharge positively charges the ion particles. Enercon’s Blown-arc plasma treaters clean surfaces by removing organic surface contaminates. This process increases surface energy and promotes adhesion for a wide variety inks, coatings and adhesives.
Read MoreBlown-ion Surface Treating Video Animation
Blown-ion air plasma pushes pressurized air past a single electrode which discharges inside the treater head. The electrode creates positively charged ions in the surrounding air particles. The air pressure then forces the air particles to accelerate of the tip of the head as a high velocity stream of charged ions directed toward the object’s…
