Second-Generation Plasma Surface Treater
New units built with new materials for system components that have proven to be more resilient.
Enercon’s second-generation Blown-ion 500 plasma treater uses a MultiPort plasma head design that produces an intense blown ion plasma discharge up to 2 inches wide. The plasma treater cleans, etches and functionalizes surfaces to improve adhesion of adhesives, inks, paints and coatings.
As Enercon explains, maintaining a consistent plasma simultaneously over six separate plasma discharge ports requires precision control with the ability to accommodate for variations in customer-supplied input power, compressed air and operating environments, all of which can place stress on system components. Thanks to a rigorous development process, the company says it has identified new materials for system components that have proven to be more resilient in accommodating a wider variety of operating conditions.

Applications suited for the technology include automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, electronics, medical, and window/door that require improved adhesion for assembly, printing and decorating applications. The system is often used to replace expensive and hazardous primers as well as inefficient mechanical and manual surface preparation techniques, according to Enercon.
