Plasma surface treatment machine ProfileTEC

Two common applications for pre-treatment of automotive EPDM profiles with plasma are prior to the process of flocking and slip-coating. In the flocking process, plasma treatment is necessary to achieve a strong bond between the rubber and the adhesive used to attach the flock. For slip-coating, it is necessary to treat prior to the spray process to achieve good wettability and optimum adhesion properties of the coating. ProfileTEC eliminates the need for expensive primers, hazardous chemical treatments, or outdated abrasive brushing. The treatment achieved through plasma discharge remains cost-effective without creating a threat to our environment. ProfileTEC is manufactured to suit individual customer requirements and is designed for the treatment of conductive solid rubber, non-conductive sponge, or a combination of both types of material. The free-standing systems are self-contained and offer 360° treatment at line speeds up to 40m/min. The ProfileTEC is available with single or multiple treatment heads and includes individual adjustment of each head, for max. operator flexibility. Both standard and customized units are available with both single or multiple treatment heads. ProfileTEC conforms with CE regulations and carries the CE marking.
