Vetaphone has unveiled the C8 Corona treatment station, designed for substrates and applications where high corona power is required from a single unit. As its name suggests, the new unit is fitted with eight high-power and high-efficiency ceramic electrodes, allowing more power to be discharged from a compact modular system suitable for modern materials.
The C8 is intended to be corrosion proof and comes with what the Danish company has called ‘enhanced maintenance-friendly features to place it firmly in the next generation of surface treatment.’
‘Converters’ needs for simple corona treatment are well catered for,’ commented CEO Frank Eisby. ‘We have designed the new C8 for the increasing number of demanding applications. Many of the new substrates have a more complex chemistry and consequently require higher power corona treatment to achieve the necessary dyne level. The C8 applies more corona power per square metre on the modern presses that are adapted to run these challenging materials.’
Having eight electrodes in the unit means the C8 can apply high power corona at high running speeds. Available in web widths from 362 to 572mm and capable of treating at speeds in excess of 300m/min, the unit is both CE and UL approved.
