Pillar launches VERSATreat corona treatment system

Features of the VERSATreat system include: the ability to universally treat both conductive and non-conductive materials; a new ceramic electrode with electrical and structural properties designed to maximize uptime, minimizing electrode failures and increase treatment level; a proprietary ceramic ground roll coating that provides nearly 100 percent greater dielectric strength than competitor ceramic coatings; an exclusively-applied ceramic ground roll coating, which significantly increases in-service life and MTBF; and an industry-exclusive three-year non-prorated ground roll warranty.

Brad Budde, sales manager at Pillar, a business unit of ITW, said: ‘This exclusive corona treatment technology directly responds to the industry’s request for longer ceramic electrode life and longer ceramic roll covering life. It also features a smaller, more compact design compared to competitive systems.

‘Pillar's VERSATreat system is designed with leading-edge component materials to create the most reliable performance and operational safety for our customers. Our customers, and the customers of our competitors, want a corona treater which handles longer continuous running periods and which minimizes maintenance downtime. Pillar’s VERSATreat system corona treatment system meets these criteria while also providing economical operation.’
