Air Plasma Surface Treaters for Folder Gluer Applications

Converters are taking advantage of Enercon's atmospheric plasma surface treating technologies to improve the performance of their gluer folder operations.  Adding Enercon's Dyne-A-Mite™ IT atmospheric plasma treater increases adhesive bond strength for both hot-melt and cold-glue adhesives. Click here to watch a video of Dyne-A-Mite™ IT integrated into a folding carton line or continue reading for more information.

In addition, these economical plasma treatment systems increase folding carton production speeds and generate cost savings by allowing the use of less expensive adhesives, and eliminating the need for mechanical surface preparations such as glue flap roughening and perforating. To calculate your glue cost savings or your productivity payback, check out our Glue Savings & Productivity Payback Calculators.

Converters find that Enercon's plasma treatment provides a benefit to any carton adhesive application including glue flap strength and window adhesion. Most impressive is the technologies ability to effectively treat a wide variety of materials including, polyboard, specially coated surfaces, and UV lacquered surfaces.

Enercon's atmospheric plasma produces these results by cleaning the surface of contaminants, micro-roughening the surface to create more bonding sites and functionalizing for adhesion. Key to the success is a blown-ion discharge that bombards the surface with a high speed discharge of ions. Positive ion bombardment facilitates a micro-etching or scrubbing (ablation) effect to remove (desorb) organic and inorganic contaminants from the surface.

Atmospheric plasma systems are safe to operate and easy to integrate into existing or new production lines. Single head and multiple treatment head systems are available. Watch a video of the Dyne-A-Mite™ IT in action.

Enercon Industries Corporation, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI, is a major manufacturer of equipment for the plastics and packaging industries. The company supplies custom built atmospheric plasma treating systems for rolls, webs, sheets, and three dimensional objects.

 

 

Dyne-A-Mite IT Air Plasma Surface Treater

The Dyne-A-Mite IT 3D surface treating system effectively cleans surfaces and promotes adhesion on both conductive and non-conductive surfaces.

 


Dyne-A-Mite IT Elite

The IT Elite's modular system is available with up to four surface treatment heads.

 

The new Dyne-A-Mite IT™ delivers highly effective treatment for both conductive and non-conductive applications. Its ability to treat flat surfaces as well as difficult to reach recesses makes this simple to use system a safe treatment solution for a wide variety of applications.

It generates a concentrated blown-ion discharge that bombards a material surface with a high-speed discharge of ions. Positive ion bombardment facilitates a micro-etching or scrubbing (ablation) effect which can remove (desorb) organic and inorganic contaminants from the surface of an object.

Without changing the substrate morphology, the system successfully changes the mechanical and chemical properties of a surface. It cleans surfaces and initiates cross-linking effects.

Blown-ion treatment allows for easier application and improved adhesion of coatings, adhesives, inks, labels and markings of all types. In-line treatment eliminates the need for costly chemical priming, etching and vacuum processes.

Dyne-A-Mite IT™ is highly effective at treating and cleaning all types of polymers, elastomers, glass and even conductive surfaces. It treats extruded, pultruded, molded and formed materials. Treatment is ideal for PE, PP, PET, nylon, vinyl, polystyrene, polycarbonate, PVC and all other types of thermoformed and thermoset plastics.

Typical applications include removing grease, oil, oxides or silicone; pre-treatment and preparation for bonding, soldering or gluing and pre-treatment for finishing metals.

How blown-ion air plasma works

Blown-ion air plasma systems push 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 forces the air particles to accelerate of the tip of the head as a high velocity stream of charged ions directed toward the substrate surface. Through direct contact, these particles positively charge the object's surface increasing its surface energy and making it more receptive to inks and coatings.

Air plasma is a popular surface treatment technology because it is effective, easy to use and inexpensive to operate.

System Features

Enercon's Dyne-A-Mite™ IT Elite capitalizes on the well proven design of the Dyne-A-Mite™ IT and adds additional functionality and control with a touch screen PLC interface.

Improve Adhesion

The Dyne-A-Mite™ IT Elite etches, cleans, activates, sterilizes and functionalizes a wide variety of difficult to treat conductive and non conductive material surfaces.

Treat a variety of surfaces

The system is highly effective at treating and cleaning all types of polymers, elastomers, glass and even conductive surfaces. It treats extruded, pultruded, molded and formed materials. Treatment is ideal for PE, PP, PET, nylon, vinyl, polystyrene, polycarbonate, PVC and all other types of thermoformed and thermoset plastics.

Typical Applications

Removes grease, oil, oxides or silicone; pre-treatment and preparation for bonding, soldering or gluing and pre-treatment for finishing metals. painting, bonding, casting, flocking, labeling, coating, marking, extruding and overmolding applications.

Plasma Integrity Monitor

Quality control is self regulated by a real time Plasma Integrity Monitoring system for all process variables. Signature Analysis feedback ensures consistent treatment. Complete diagnostic information and fault logs for each head are displayed.

Connect up to four treatment heads

The modular system is available with up to four surface treatment heads featuring quick connect/disconnect. A touch screen interface provides local control with optional connectivity for network control. The ability to treat flat surfaces as well as difficult to reach recesses makes it particularly versatile.

Technically Speaking

The air plasma treater bombards surfaces with a high-speed discharge of ions. Positive ion bombardment facilitates a micro-etching or scrubbing (ablation) effect which can remove organic and inorganic contaminants from the surface of an object.

Without changing the substrate morphology, the system successfully changes the mechanical and chemical properties of a surface. It cleans surfaces and initiates cross-linking effects. Blown-ion treatment allows for easier application and improved adhesion of coatings, adhesives, inks, labels and markings of all types.
