Enercon Industries was presented the C2 Innovation Award at ICE Europe for its development of Plasma4 surface treatment technology.

An international jury chose the most innovative products, processes and technologies in the paper, film and foil converting developed in the past two years. The Plasma4 pretreatment technology was acknowledged for breaking ground in productivity, ecology and economy.

Plasma4 provides high and long lasting treatment, extremely low gas consumption, and the ability to switch from a plasma to corona mode. With Plasma4, electrode breakage is eliminated while alleviating previous line speed and web width limitations. Converters also benefit from automatic air gap adjustment and the ability to treat while virtually eliminating ozone.

The design is said to break through production and economical barriers with ecology in mind whilst the surface treating system adds value to engineered films, wovens and nonwovens by cleaning, etching and functionalizing surfaces.

Enercon’s Atmospheric Plasma Technology manager Rory Wolf said, ‘Early adopters of Plasma4 are impressed with the foresight put into the design which eliminates many of the industry’s previous performance barriers.’
