Plasma Tinning Line and PV Ribbon Line Plasma Tinning Line and PV Ribbon Line are used for continuous tin coating of copper and copper alloys. They are based on PlasmaPREPLATE process to anneal and clean copper ribbon prior to hot dip tinning and spooling. This is an acid-free, flux-free, environmentally friendly process for round wire and narrow strips. Product quality benefits: Smooth, consistent and shiny tin coat Small tin coat thickness tolerance Super soft PV ribbon with low yield strength Various solder compositions possible Finished coated wire drawable to small sizes Computer enabled surface quality control Precision layer winding of PV ribbon 2 Plasma Tinning Line for round copper wires 3 PV Ribbon Line Operational benefits: High production speeds and up to 95% up-time Acid-free, flux-free and operator-friendly production Quick material changeover and short string-in times Less product scrap through better product control Less solder scrap due to flux-free production Low power and gas consumption 2 3
PlasmaANNEALER PlasmaANNEALER is high-speed, single-line, and compact heat treatment machine for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Heat treatment: annealing, stress relieving, hardening, tempering Materials: stainless steels, alloy steel, nickel alloys, copper alloys, CCA, CCS, aluminium alloys, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, precious metals Product quality benefits: Accurate heat treatment for targeted mechanical properties Small, even grain size in the transversal and longitudinal direction Annealed materials with superior, bright surface finish Simultaneous oil degreasing and surface oxide removal Improved cold working properties of annealed materials Reduced die wear in subsequent drawing process Operational benefits: Up to 20 times greater process speed than comparable tube furnace 3 times higher output per square meter of workshop space In-line with drawing, rolling, stranding possible Low cost maintenance, low energy and purging gas consumptions PLC controls with touch-screen HMI No warm-up and cool-down times Compact and operator friendly machine 2 3 PlasmaANNEALER for copper alloy round, rectangular and flat wire up to 5mm 2 2 PlasmaANNEALER for stainless steel and nickel alloy wire dia. up to 0.5 to 5mm 3 PlasmaANNEALER for medical, jewellery, watch and automotive wire, tube and profiles 4 Plasma annealing line with double takeup and double payoff for stainless steel wire, tube, strand and rope
PlasmaPREPLATE PlasmaPREPLATE process features dry surface cleaning, oxide removal and heat treatment used prior to continuous plating. Plasma treatment leaves the surface dry and free from oxidizing agents, to allow for better adhesion. PlasmaPREPLATE can be installed in-line with hot dip, extrusion, electroplating or enamelling without the need for chemical surface preparation or fluxing. Materials: ferrous and non-ferrous Coating processes: hot dip, electroplating, extrusion, enamelling, taping, cladding, spray coating Coatings: Sn, Zn, Ni, Cr, Au, Ag, Pl, polymers, PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVC, ETFE, insulation tapes Product quality benefits: Surface cleaning, degreasing and surface oxide removal Surface activation for better adhesion in subsequent coating Heat treatment for accurate pre-heating or recrystallization Operational benefits: Dry, chemical-free surface preparation with simultaneous heat treatment Compact and user friendly machine design Low production and maintenance costs Vertical PlasmaPREPLATE - annealing and surface preparation for hot dip tinning 2 Horizontal PlasmaPREPLATE - annealing and surface preparation for electroplating 2
PlasmaCLEANER PlasmaCLEANER is a surface treatment machine for continuous cleaning and surface oxide removal. PlasmaCLEANER can be used for surface preparation and preheating in processes such as extrusion, cladding or taping process. Materials: ferrous and non-ferrous Coating processes: extrusion, taping, cladding, lubrication Process features: Dry, chemical-free surface cleaning and oxide removal in inert atmosphere Surface passivation for long-term corrosion protection Surface activation for better coating adhesion Alternative to pickling, chemical cleaning, shot blasting or electrochemical polishing Can be used as a preheater in extrusion, taping or cladding process Low process and maintenance costs 2 Compact design Computer enabled surface quality control Environment and operator friendly production PlasmaCLEANER - cleaning surface activation and preheating of wire or rod 2 Copper wire before and after plasma cleaning Oxidised copper wire Plasma treated copper wire PlasmaACT PlasmaACT is used for surface activation to improve adhesion of lubricant or lubricant carrier on stainless steel, alloyed steel or titanium rods prior to drawing. Materials: stainless steel, alloyed steel or titanium rods Process: rod breakdown Process features: Dry, chemical-free rod surface activation Superior lubricant or lubricant carrier adhesion In-line with wire rod drawing Alternative to pickling or shot blasting or electrochemical polishing Low process and maintenance costs Compact design Environment and operator friendly production PlasmaACT
