The Compak™ 2000 power supply for corona-treating applications is said to simplify installation and operation by integrating multiple functions into a single operator interface, which also includes data logs, remote communications for integrated line control and support for multiple languages. It features PLC control and customization of user-defined capabilities such as signal-system startup. The unit also supports Ethernet and other network protocols.

Co.'s new convertible corona-treatment system is available with both fixed-width bare roll and fixed-width conventional electrodes, which allow operators to change from one electrode to another by simply flipping a switch. High-voltage runs are pre-wired with co.'s flexible HV coaxial cables for simple installation. This corona system can work with any material, co. says.

The “Split Box” corona-treater station opens horizontally, allowing easier “drop through” thread-up in seconds, faster installation and simpler maintenance for blown-film lines, says co. Stainless steel electrodes reduce contamination. A zero-speed switch automatically shuts down the power supply when the web achieves low line speeds. An easy-viewing window allows clear, unobstructed view of the corona discharge. Options include manual high-voltage switching, proportional speed control, tendency and direct drive.

The new Aldyne™ Lite for Labels provides single- or double-sided treatment of conductive and non-conductive substrates via a cantilevered treater roll and housing including Aldyne gas seals and electrodes. Standard widths of 260, 360 and 460 mm are available along with special ceramic insulator assemblies to ensure optimum high-voltage isolation. Label makers can now replace expensive coated films for UV printing with lower-cost plain films via Aldyne treatment.

The Vetaphone Corona-Plus line of systems for coating, printing and laminating applications can provide the best solution to specific needs. The TOU8 and TOW8 stations, which feature compact, open designs for single- or double-sided treatment, allow easy thread-up and adjustment of air gap with digital adjuster, and can both be fitted with the co.'s Quick Change electrode cartridge. Due to the new station design, ozone is extracted evenly along the whole electrode, said to ensure efficient cooling of the backing rollers and extend the lifetime on roller coverings.
