Europlasma Machines
Europlasma, a Belgian manufacturer of plasma treatment
machines has several production machines in the market. Also different
laboratory setups are available for testing applications directly in the field.
The different types will be presented and described together with their
possibilities.
Europlasma is building standard and custom designed
machines. Under standard machines is understood 4 types of machines with
different chamber volumes, thus different production rates. Both a NON-PC and
a PC controlled version are available.
Standard this equipment is delivered with a shelve system.
But also barrel and roll-to-roll systems can be placed in this equipment.
The second group of machines are custom designed towards the
client needs and products. This can vary from very small to very big systems
with additional load/unload or other specifications.
For roll-to-roll systems there is a collaboration with a
contractant which has several years of experience in the field of vacuum based
roll systems.
Small roll-to-roll system
For laboratory purposes or specific applications of low
amount and small scaled roll material our standard equipment can be dedicated
to such purposes by using a small roll-to-roll cassette. The advantage of this
system is the flexibility of the equipment because both shelves and roll system
can be placed in the same equipment.
This system is also very useful for laboratory set-up and
testing of the plasma treatment for your application.
Typical properties of CD600 type are:
Volume: 216 liter
roll diameter: 20 cm max roll
roll width: 30 cm
speed: 0.1-10 cm/sec
And CD1000 machine:
Volume: 490 liter
roll diameter: 30cm
roll width: 45cm
speed: 0.1-10 cm/sec
These systems can be used were no high demands on tension
and production rates are posed.
Large roll-to-roll system (1m width)
More sophisticated batch systems for roll-to-roll treatment
of roll material with a dimension of 1 m width, 0.6 m diameter are yet used in production environment in the field of medical filter materials. The speed for these materials
is typically 0 to 5m/min. The final speed is dependant on the application and
the grade of treatment.
The tension of the material is controlled, which makes it
possible to treat sensitive materials.
