For over 40 years, Pillar Technologies has provided technical innovations to the extrusion, coating, laminating and printing industries.

Converters can now have the best of both worlds with the Pillar “Universal” corona treating station. This advanced technology features a patented design of interchangeable magazines to allow operation as a bare roll (conductive substrates); covered roll (non-conductive substrates); or dual-dielectric (delicate substrates) system.

Patented Modular Interchangeable Electrode Magazine

Electrodes on the Universal station can be replaced or interchanged in a matter of seconds. Slide the segmented stainless steel magazine out and the ceramic tube magazine in, now you’re ready to run with a dual dielectric configuration. Take out the covered roll and replace with a bare roll, now you can run conductive substrates. This patented modular magazine approach makes cleaning and changeout effortless with minimal downtime.

Interchangeable Electrode Assemblies

Stainless Steel Segmented Electrodes (available in 1/2”, 1/4”, 1/8” sizes) now allow operators using dielectric covered rolls the flexibility to treat various web widths and “lane” treat while achieving higher treat levels.

Stainless Steel Finned Electrodes are used in conjuction with dielectric covered ground rolls for efficiently treating difficult to treat, non-conductive materials with a fixed or stripe treat width requirement.

Ceramic Round or Square Electrodes are designed for converters looking to treat metallized, thin or sensitive substrates.

Special Electrode Mounting of the Electrode Assemblies

The Universal magazine design enables each material to thermally expand at its own rate without causing electrode warping or changes in gap, ensuring even treatment across the web. Special electrode mounting prevents electrical shorts due to the carbonizing of build up, thus reducing excessive spare parts inventories, clean up time, and maintenance.

External Gap Adjust with Micrometer

Gap adjustments become as elementary as turning a dial, reducing set-up time.

Patented Pneumatic Electrode Thread Up Mechanism

This feature is designed to pivot electrodes out of the way for easy thread up. The unique design also enables knots and splices to move easily through the gap without breaking the web or damaging the electrode.

Easy Roll Removal

This unique system incorporates slotted end plates with access covers to make roll changeovers quick and simple.

Roll Coverings

The Universal is compatible with all commercially available treater roll coverings.

Dynamically Balanced Treater Rolls

Equipped with externally mounted ground brushes.
