CORONA TREATING ... SUCCESS is in the BALANCE.
A successful corona treating system is balanced. This means that the output of the power supply must be matched to the capability of the station. A balanced system produces superior corona, offers good reliability and produces consistent, high, dyne levels. An unbalanced system produces low dyne levels, heat and excessive operating costs. At QC, we will work with you to ensure that you receive a corona treater that is precisely balanced for your process.
Before we get into balanced corona, lets discuss good corona.
How do you know that your treater is producing 'good' corona? Good corona does not display multiple 'spikes' and should not have erratic 'dancing' in the electrical field. The corona should be a light lavender color with an even, consistent, hue. If you see light strikes or a dark purple corona, you are looking at an aggressive etching process. This high etching corona is damaging your material. Your corona treater is not operating correctly.
What is a balanced corona treating system? A balanced system is a treater that produces a low plasma etch rate with a high power density. Many people believe that you put a power supply on a station and you have a corona treater. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are having problems getting the power you need from your treater, you probably have an unbalanced system. We can help you determine what equipment you need to get the power your application requires.
Is your current corona treating system balanced? How do you know? We see many installations that are improperly balanced. This typically results in treater down time, expensive replacement parts, and scrap material due to low dyne levels. We will work with you and identify what is causing the problem. Chances are it's the electrode design, lack of electrode area, incorrect roll size, improper roll coating, or the web width is too wide or too narrow. There are many variables that can create an unbalanced system. With just some basic information about your application, we will be able to identify what is causing the imbalance in your corona treating system.
You just installed a new power supply on your existing station and it isn't producing much power? You guessed it - you have an unbalanced system. Your new power supply is not properly matched to your station. We can help you determine what is wrong, and we will help you correct it.
If you have a balanced corona treater, you should not experience problems. Many people just accept the fact that they have to work on their treaters all the time. After all, the OEM of your treater is telling you its normal, right? Or are they telling you it's something you are doing? Treater problems are not normal. You should install a treater and forget it. If your treaters are breaking the budget, it's time to call us.
QC equipment is balanced and custom designed to treat any application. Whether your application is laminating, printing, extruding, textiles, blown film, or sheets, QC is sure to have a treater perfectly suited for you. We also offer value added services like electrodes, rolls and coating for any make or model corona treater.
Models are available to treat conductive, and non-conductive, webs. Treat the entire width of your material or segments, sometimes called lanes. Electrode configurations include many sizes in rectangular and round ceramic, or electrode segments in stainless steel or aluminum. QC Electronics' line of corona treaters includes the ever popular Advantage line of bare roll treaters, the patented TNT (Touch ‘n Treat) covered roll system, and the recently released DT+2 high power bare roll design. Whatever your needs, QC balances new technology, reliability, quality, and the ever important feature; price. We know that you must be competitive in a very competitive world market; trust QC to deliver exactly what you need at an excellent price.
