Karville, which manufactures converting systems for shrink sleeves, pouches, tapes and multipacks, has chosen Vetaphone’s corona treatment for its TL-800 model laminator.
The laminator requires two corona stations – one in each of the unwind sections, with both needing extractor fans and exhaust ducting to work at maximum efficiency. Vetaphone’s technology best suited with Karville’s total cost of ownership policy, said Karlville president John Price.
The Vetaphone equipment includes VE1H-C(C4)920 corona treater units and iPM200 generator modules. The treaters are single-sided and fitted with ceramic electrodes with roller faces of 920mm. The generator has a power output of 8kW and gives accurate watt density control by following the line speed automatically. It has a zero-speed switch and automatic start relay that protects the RD62UR standard blower fan that Vetaphone also supplies, along with an optional ozone eliminator.
‘The TL-800 is an environmentally friendly machine, with no VOCs, odour or any health issues, making it suitable for the food and personal care sector. It offers best time to market with minimal waste. Most of all, it’s reliable, and that’s why we chose Vetaphone corona treaters,’ Mr Price concluded.
