Durable
Our split box blown film station is designed with a number of features to maximize durability, including:
- Electrodes are made of stainless steel to reduce contamination and makes them easy to clean
- Sturdy Electrode supports enhance rigidity and eliminate sagging
- Roll bearings are kept outside of the ozone environment, prolonging their life span
- Roll bearings are enclosed to extend bearing life
- A zero speed switch is included to automatically shut down the power supply in the event of low line speeds
Versatile
The treat width can be easily altered to enable lane treating using our stainless steel segmented electrode design in a removable electrode style, allowing you to customize the station to the needs of your application.
Safe
The split box blown film station includes a number of safety features such as:
- Safety interlocks which automatically prevent operation if access covers are removed or the station is in the thread up position
- The electrode area is completely covered by aluminum panels
- The built-in exhaust flanges easily connect to ozone exhaust blowers and destruct systems to protect from ozone emissions
Additional Features
The split box blown film station has a number of other additional features such as:
- Easy drop through web thread up design
- Standard segmented electrode
- Easy electrode air gap adjustment via external adjustment screws at each end of electrode
- Easy electrode pitch adjust at each support
- Interlocked hinged access doors for customer safety and quick access for electrode gap, pitch, and treat width adjustment
- Zero speed switches to protect ground roll covering
- Carbon ground brushes are used to provide direct electrical ground protecting bearings and ensuring proper corona treatment
- Mounted high voltage transformer simplifying customer installation
