Corona treater - Import export

The effect achieved by the corona treatment is an increase in surface tension to values between 38 to 60 mN/m. Since the surface tension is caused by dispersive and polar interaction components the introduction of polar functional groups in particular increased the polar component of the surface tension.

AFS corona generators are THE standard for foil extrusion and the packaging industry. It is not without reason that the largest machine manufacturers opt for AFS as their standard equipment. The initial investment cost of any system is only part of the total running costs over the life time of a machine. Reliability and high efficiency results in minimum downtime and loss of production. The failure of a corona treater system can result in a total plant shutdown costing far more than the difference in price between a low quality and higher quality treatment system.
