The MultiDyne system operates using the gliding arc discharge principle. The electrode arrangement is the key to this type of discharge. As shown in the diagram, the arc forms at the closest distance between the electrodes. The electrodes are curved to allow the arc to travel between them while increasing in size. The arc however […]
Read About the Advances and Advantages of 3DT’s New Plasma System 3DT’s hardworking, classic plasma treatment system for 3-D parts, PlasmaDyne, has been thoroughly updated as a part of the company’s effort toward continual technological improvement and meeting the needs of the industry. Updates include the newest in electrical engineering, components and design. Renamed PlasmaDyne […]
As you know, moisture is an enemy of electronic components. Consequently, with summer’s high heat and humidity, even the best corona treatment equipment will benefit from some simple maintenance. Ozone is a by-product of corona treatment and is easily handled with 3DT’s robust ozone exhaust and filtration equipment. However, in extremely hot and humid conditions […]
For Unparalleled Corona Treatment The PolyDyne PRO is the latest product from 3DT. This new, highly advanced corona generator takes queues from the original PolyDyne as well as our successful plasma generators to make the PolyDyne PRO our most powerful, sophisticated and robust system to date. The PolyDyne PRO can either be voltage controlled as […]
Pre-treating sensitive materials presents a significant challenge for many converters. In these applications, plasma treatment is often the preferred solution. Achieving improved adhesion through corona pre-treatment depends largely on selecting the correct corona dosage — the relationship between power, web speed, and working width. In most production environments, however, the process or material requirements dictate […]
Designing a printing or coating process is a tricky thing. Not only during specification of new lines, but even in existing production lines, the coatings and inks always need to be matched to the surface tension of the substrate. Typically, a substrate is treated with corona, increasing the surface tension of the substrate and, thereby, […]
