Converter Replaces 30-Year-Old Enercon Corona Treater with New Enercon Treater

Quality Edge Converting just bought their first corona treater directly from Enercon. It’s equipped with the latest Compak™ Pro power supply and produces powerful corona to enable ink and adhesive bonding with polyester and polypropylene films. This treater replaces a 30-year-old Enercon corona treater the company inherited when they acquired another company 15 years ago.

“The decision to go with Enercon for the new treater was an easy one,” says Operations Manager Derek Riel. “We chose Enercon because our staff had experience dealing with them in the past and had very good experiences with their products and customer service. We knew that by choosing Enercon we would continue to get a machine that would work well with our application; and customer service would help with any questions or concerns we had along the way.”

Enercon specified an ASO treater with ceramic electrodes, a special roll covering and a 2 kW power supply for the application. The treater offers several advantages including a clean-in-place design, a counter weighted electrode assembly to protect the ceramic electrodes, and an exhaust system that acts as both a cooling system and ozone removal system.

The smooth transition of implementing the new surface treater enabled Quality Edge Converting to keep pace with customer orders and ensure optimal adhesion of inks and adhesives on their materials.
