Bale Handling > more
Coating Weight Measurement > more
Residual Humidity Measurement > more
Surface Inspection > more

Corona Pre-Treatment

In special cases a corona pre-treatment is used to increase the surface tension and to achieve optimum adhesion between coating materials and surfaces of film and metal foils, but also paper. This is achieved by guiding the web between electrodes which ionize the ambient air due to their high alternating voltages, thus generating a plasma. The moving ions produce a "rough" surface, thereby increasing the surface tension.

Bale Handling

In order to realize optimum logistics there are several concepts and versions available, depending on the existing unwinders and rewinders, the local circumstances, the degree of automation, and the desired convenience in handling. It is up to you to decide whether or not the bale conveying and lifiting system and the interface management are to be integrated to come from one source, or if you just want to use individual components to support your production.

Coating Weight Measurement

Continuous registration of the coating weight is realized by means of traversing measurement systems.Depending on the requirements, there are different measuring sources available. The measured values can be used for automatic control of the coating system. Use your potential to

• optimize your processes
• save material
• assure quality

Residual Humidity Measurement

In order to achieve an optimum substrate humidity, the residual humidity of the web is continuously registered. This is realized by means of infrared measuring systems mounted on traversing frames. The measured values can be used for automatic control of the humidifier. In this way, you control the horizontal position of the web and optimize the processing quality.

Surface Inspection

The integration of an image-processing inspection system makes it possible to detect surface defects, such as air trappings or holes, or to measure the gloss level while processing is in progress without deterioration of the processing speed. These methods are used for quality inspection and assurance.
