Cable & Wire Insulation

Pre-treating outer insulation layers before ink marking or jacketing.

 

System Configuration

High-Frequency Generator Unit

Solid-state inverter producing stable output frequencies between 20 kHz and 30 kHz.

Treatment Station Assembly

Fully enclosed stainless-steel chamber housing the high-voltage electrodes and dielectric rolls.

Exhaust Blower & Ozone Decomposer

Optional neutralizing unit to convert ozone back into oxygen before releasing air into the plant.

Isolation Transformer

Protects internal circuitry from plant grid voltage fluctuations and electrical noise.

 

How it Works

 

Non-conductive Webs Corona Treatment Station

Electrical Ionization

The solid-state generator applies a high-frequency, high-voltage potential across an air gap between the powered electrode and the grounded support roll.

 
For Plastic Film Corona Treater

Corona Discharge Generation

Air molecules in the gap ionize, creating a controlled electrical discharge plasma curtain.

 
Conductive Corona Treatment Station

Substrate Passage

The extruded tube passes through the plasma field. Free electrons and ionized gas molecules bombard the polymer surface.

 
Non-conductive Webs Corona Treatment Station

Surface Energy Modification

Molecular bonds on the polymer chain break, allowing polar functional groups to graft onto the surface, raising surface energy measured in dynes per centimeter.

 

 

Material Compatibility
 
 
 

Polyethylene

High-Density Polyethylene, Low-Density Polyethylene, and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene.

 
 

Polypropylene

Extruded profile and homopolymer or copolymer grades.

 
 

Polyvinyl Chloride

Rigid and flexible pipe grades.

 
 

Engineering Plastics

Polycarbonate, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and Polyamide or Nylon.

FAQ

 

Q: What dyne level can be achieved on PE pipe?

A: Typically increases untreated polyethylene from 30 dynes per centimeter to over 42 to 46 dynes per centimeter, depending on line speed and power density applied.

Q: How is the air gap adjusted for different tube diameters?

A: Operators use external micrometer adjustment knobs to move the electrode assembly closer to or further from the substrate without opening the main chamber.

Q: Can this system treat multi-lumen or irregular profiles?

A: Yes, specialized contour-matched electrode shoes are engineered specifically to follow non-round cross-sections.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the dielectric material?

A: Ceramic electrodes last several years under normal operating conditions if kept clean of dust, moisture, and polymer buildup.

Q: Is external exhaust mandatory?

A: Yes, ozone is generated as a byproduct of corona discharge and must be vented outside the building or passed through an ozone destructor.
