Any converter or film manufacturer that requires
film treatment should take immediate advantage of the unique
characteristics of Glassed Steel Corona Treater Rolls. In comparison to
others, glassed steel delivers the following advantages:
• Glassed steel’s low watt density requirement achieves higher dyne levels with a more uniform, consistent and stronger corona or plasma discharge.
• Lower power levels reduce the occurrence of backside treatment.
• Superior heat dissipation allows for cooler operation.
• The low watt density requirements ensure better film treatment with increased line speed – up to 20% faster!
•
Glassed steel’s amorphous structure and non-porous surface will last
years longer than traditional porous, dielectric coatings.
• Glassed steel has the highest dielectric strength of any roll
coating. It is immune to ozone, resistant to knife cuts, scratches
and normal wear and tear, resulting in significantly fewer failures.
• Glassed steel uses up to 40% less energy while achieving uniform and consistently higher treatment levels due to lower power consumption.
• The amorphous structure of glass makes the roll coating non-porous, requiring less cleaning.
• The fused glassed steel roll is resistant to breakages or punctures.
• Easy to replace!
-
Many backside treatment problems are caused by bad treater rolls.
Changing your treater roll to one that requires less energy to achieve
the same treatment level, and changing to a dielectric surface that
does not degrade or accumulate dirt or other impurities, can eliminate
backside treatment.
- The
most significant influence on treatment level is the type of roll
covering used on the treater roll. Treater roll coverings that have a
high dielectric strength will permit a thinner coating to be applied.
Thinner coatings increase the voltage drop in the corona discharge and
therefore, allow you to achieve higher treatment levels.
- Glassed
Steel Treater Rolls have the highest dielectric strength among all
dielectric coverings including ceramic, hypalon, epoxy and silicone.
Higher dielectric strength means fewer roll failures which can reduce
downtime substantially.
- Due
to its dense, non-porous and smooth surface, glassed steel is similar
to using a non-stick surface, making cleaning and maintenance quick and
easy. The surface characteristics of other dielectric materials can
cause build-up of web material and/or attract dirt or other impurities.
- Glassed
Steel Treater Rolls can last 10 years or longer. Some Glassed Steel
Treater Rolls have been installed and have run for over 20 years
without a failure.
- Now you can too, with Glassed Steel Treater Rolls.
