VacuTEC 5050 product description

Tantec RotoTEC-X is used for in-line treatment of injection molded parts prior to coating, printing, gluing, painting, etc. Often the RotoTEC-X is also used simply for optimizing adhesion properties of a given substrate.

The RotoTEC-X ensures a very uniform treatment process and offers the user full process control of all parameters.

The RotoTEC-X corona treater offers a cost-effective method for optimizing the adhesion properties of printing inks, coatings, glue, and paint on any surface made of polymer material including the commonly used polypropylene and polyethylene. RotoTEC-X can thus be used for treating plastic materials and plastic products.

This universal system developed by Tantec operates with patented rotating electrode elements resulting in complete and uniform treatment of parts. These self-contained units can be installed within existing production lines or used as an off-line treating process.

The system includes a high- frequency generator, high-voltage transformer, rotary electrodes, ozone filter, and customized stand-alone or bench-top treating station. Both standard and customized RotoTEC-X stations are available for both single and dual-sided treatment.

FAQ

What is VacuTEC 5050 used for?

VacuTEC 5050 is used for vacuum plasma treatment of components before coating, gluing, painting or printing

What product size can VacuTEC 5050 handle?

VacuTEC 5050 has two shelves, each with a tray size of 500 x 500 mm. This provides increased batch capacity while keeping the system well suited for production environments. Many parts and components can be adapted to fit the process and production needs.

How does VacuTEC 5050 improve adhesion?

The system builds a vacuum before generating plasma through integrated electrodes. This increases surface energy and improves wettability so downstream processes can bond more reliably.

How long does treatment take in VacuTEC 5050?

Treatment cycle times are often short, between 5 – 600 seconds depending on the material and its formulation.

Which vacuum level is used in VacuTEC 5050?

The plasma discharge is active from 0.1-3 mbar depending on the application. The low-pressure environment helps create a controlled and uniform plasma process.

What power supply does VacuTEC 5050 use?

VacuTEC 5050 uses an HV-X10 generator with 5 kV / 800 W output in the standard brochure configuration. A specially designed plasma transformer provides voltage to the plasma electrodes.

Can VacuTEC 5050 treat both conductive and non-conductive parts?

Yes. Vacuum plasma can treat both conductive and non-conductive surfaces, depending on the material, fixture and process setup.

When should you choose VacuTEC 5050?

VacuTEC 5050 is a suitable option when your process requires more capacity than a smaller chamber can provide, while a larger treatment volume such as VacuTEC 8080 or VacuTEC 100100 is not required. Tantec offers several VacuTEC variants, allowing the system size to be selected according to your parts, process and production needs.

Is VacuTEC 5050 an environmentally friendly solution?

Yes. VacuTEC 5050 is a dry process with low power consumption and often no need for special treatment gases. It can help reduce reliance on primers or chemical pre-treatment in suitable applications.

Can VacuTEC 5050 be customized?

Yes. Tantec can deliver standard VacuTEC machines or customize the chamber, shelves, electrodes, pump placement and automation around your production line and component requirements.
