Portable atmospheric plasma generator PiezoBrush PZ3

industrial

PiezoBrush PZ3 has been designed as a compact plasma handheld device for use in laboratories, predevelopment and assembly of small series. With a maximum power consumption of 18 W, the Piezoelectric Direct Discharge (PDD®) technology is used to generate cold active plasma at a low temperature. The heart of this portable plasma device is the TDK piezo plasma generator CeraPlas™ – a high-voltage discharge device for generating cold atmospheric-pressure plasma. Plasma is used to increase the surface energy of many materials with high efficiency, as well as to reduce germs and odors. Fields of application Joining technology Development and optimization of production processes Research facilities and laboratories Microbiology, microfluidics and food technology Medical and dental technology Prototype and architectural model making Small-scale production Activation and functionalization of surfaces of various materials Improvement of wettability Optimization of bonding, painting, printing and coating processes Surface treatment of plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, semiconductors, natural fibres and composite materials Ultra-fine cleaning and odour reduction Different surfaces have to be activated with the appropriate accessories to achieve an ideal result. Currently five different modules are available for the PiezoBrush PZ3 plasma handheld device. The PDD technology used to generate the cold plasma in PiezoBrush PZ3 is based on the discharge of high electric fields. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of the component to be treated is of decisive importance when choosing the modules.
