Enercon Wins Innovation Award at ICE Europe

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.—Enercon Industries was presented with the C2 Innovation Award at ICE Europe in recognition of the development of Plasma4™ surface treatment technology. This new pretreatment technology was acknowledged for breaking ground in productivity, ecology, and economy. Plasma4™ was chosen by an international jury charged with identifying most innovative products, processes, and technologies in the field of paper, film, and foil converting developed within the past two years.

Plasma4™ offers converters a new surface treating solution that 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. Automatic air gap adjustment and the ability to treat while virtually eliminating ozone are additional key benefits for converters.

The novel design breaks through production and economical barriers with ecology in mind. The system is a result of Enercon’s decade-long expertise in engineering and commissioning production-grade plasma systems. 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 says, “Early adopters of Plasma4™ are impressed with the foresight put into the design, which eliminates many of the industry’s previous performance barriers.”
