High frequency spot system

SpotTEC product description

Tantec SpotTEC is Corona Treatment machine used for treatment of profiles, treatment of cables and injection moulded parts. The SpotTEC is easily adopted into any production line and offers the user a high level of flexibility in use.

The SpotTEC is based on the principle of high-voltage discharge in atmospheric air blown towards a substrate surface.

The SpotTEC offered by Tantec permits easy pre-treatment of surfaces of three-dimensional moulded or extruded plastic parts, profiles etc. with low investment and running costs.

The SpotTEC is based on the principle of high-voltage discharge in the high-frequency area. A blower presses the discharge which is established between the two electrodes integrated in the discharge head, against the substrate to be treated, thus eliminating the need for a counter electrode.

The SpotTEC can be integrated easily and quickly in new or existing production lines to promote adhesion of glue, inks or coating. The system is available with a single or double electrode head; other versions are available on request.

The SpotTEC system provides surface treatment solutions for a variety of plastic products and applications. The SpotTEC complies with the CE requirements and EMC regulation.

FAQ

What is SpotTEC used for?

SpotTEC is used for corona treatment of profiles, cables, injection moulded parts and other three-dimensional plastic components.

How does SpotTEC work?

SpotTEC uses localized high-frequency corona discharge. The process is controlled so the surface or component can be treated, checked or prepared with repeatable results.

Why is surface treatment needed before printing, gluing or coating?

Many plastic surfaces have low surface energy, which can make it difficult for inks, glues and coatings to bond properly.

Can SpotTEC be integrated into production?

Yes. SpotTEC can be used in manual, semi-automatic or automated production setups. This makes it suitable for both new production concepts and upgrades of existing processes.

How does SpotTEC improve adhesion?

SpotTEC uses high-voltage discharge in atmospheric air to activate the surface and create better conditions for reliable adhesion.

What makes SpotTEC flexible in production?

SpotTEC can be integrated into new or existing production lines and is suitable for spot treatment of selected surface areas.

Does SpotTEC need a counter electrode?

No. The discharge head is designed so the treatment is directed towards the substrate without the need for a counter electrode.

Is SpotTEC easy to install and use?

Yes. SpotTEC is designed as a simple plug-and-go system with no need for complex treatment parameter adjustments.

Is SpotTEC available with different treatment heads?

Yes. SpotTEC is available with single or dual treatment head configurations, depending on the application and treatment area.

Can SpotTEC be delivered as a standard or customized solution?

SpotTEC is available in standard single and dual head configurations, with other versions available on request depending on production needs.
