Vacuum Plasma Treater

VacuTEC8080 product description

Standard VacuTEC system with customized chamber sizes. There are so many possibilities. Tantec has both standard VacuTEC machines, but also custom-designed machines. The VacuTEC customized machines are specially developed and adapted 100% to customer wishes and requirements in relation to the production line.

Tantecs VacuTEC Series Plasma Treater is designed for treatment of a large number of different injection moulded 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 5 – 60 seconds depending on the material and its formulation. VacuTEC uses the advanced Tantec power generator HV-X series as power supply and specially designed plasma transformer to provide voltage to the plasma electrodes.

FAQ

What is VacuTEC 8080 used for?

VacuTEC 8080 is used for vacuum plasma treatment of larger components or higher batch volumes before coating, gluing, painting or printing.

What is the tray size in VacuTEC 8080?

VacuTEC 8080 has two shelves, each with a tray size of 800 x 800 mm.

How does VacuTEC 8080 differ from VacuTEC 5050?

VacuTEC 8080 offers a larger chamber and tray area, making it better suited for larger parts or more components per batch.

What vacuum and treatment times are typical for VacuTEC 8080?

The vacuum level is typically 0.1-3 mbar. Evacuation time starts from around 40 seconds depending on the pump, and treatment time starts from around 20 seconds depending on the material.

Which generator is used with VacuTEC 8080?

VacuTEC 8080 uses an HV-X20 generator with 5 kV / 1200 W output.

Can VacuTEC 8080 be used for complex 3D parts?

Yes. The chamber process is well suited for 3D parts because the plasma can treat exposed surfaces inside the vacuum environment without mechanical contact.

How does VacuTEC 8080 support production reliability?

The system combines controlled vacuum level, defined treatment time and HMI-based process control. This helps operators repeat the same process settings from batch to batch.

When should a company choose VacuTEC 8080?

Choose VacuTEC 8080 when part size, batch volume or fixture requirements exceed the capacity of smaller chambers.

Is VacuTEC 8080 an environmentally friendly solution?

Yes. VacuTEC 8080 is a dry plasma process and standard air can be used in many applications. It can reduce the need for wet chemical surface preparation where plasma treatment delivers the required adhesion.

Can VacuTEC 8080 be customized?

Yes. VacuTEC 8080 can be supplied as a standard system or adapted with customized chamber design, trays, pump placement and automation to fit your production line.
