Vacuum Plasma Treater | VacuTEC 2020
VacuTEC 2020
Tantec’s VacuTEC 2020 Plasma Treater is designed for the treatment of a large number of different injection molded parts. The VacuTEC offers very fast treatment times and optimum adhesion properties for downstream coating, gluing, painting, and printing applications.
In the treating chamber, a vacuum is built up to between 0,1 and 3 mbar before an electrical discharge is created through the integrated plasma electrode. Treatment cycle times are often short, between 20-120 seconds depending on the material and its formulation.
The VacuTEC is appreciated for its simplicity of operation, reliability in production, and fast process speed. Treating gasses such as argon and oxygen can be applied, but in most cases, this is not necessary due to the high power exposed by the plasma discharge.
VacuTEC uses the advanced Tantec power generator HV-X series as a power supply and specially designed plasma transformer to provide voltage to the plasma electrodes.
