Anti-Adhesion Solution for Floating Nozzles｜Plasma Coating
Before Plasma Coating Implementation: When transporting webs with adhesive substances, the nozzles often accumulated these adhesives, requiring significant time and labor to clean. In severe cases, products were discarded as defective due to adhesive buildup. After Plasma Coating Implementation: By applying a non-stick, high-durability plasma coating to the nozzles, adhesive substances no longer adhered, resulting […]
Web Transport Roll Adhesion Prevention Solution | Plasma Coating
Before Plasma Coating Implementation: Frequent roll replacements caused unnecessary downtime. Adhesive residues were collecting on web transport rolls, requiring significant labor and time for cleaning. Emergency measures like painting and using special tapes were ineffective, as they could not fully prevent adhesion and did not offer a long-term solution. After Plasma Coating Implementation: After Plasma […]
