Special Treatment

The nitty-gritty

Problem solving is part of a production line operator's job. But manufacturers of surface treating systems can make that job easier by helping troubleshoot issues like insufficient dyne level and blocking.

Problem: Insufficient dyne level

Solution: If a printer is treating a material to no avail, the problem may lie in the equipment or power supply sizing being used more than the actual process of surface treatment itself, said Rob Hablewitz, sales manager, Pillar Technologies. "The only way to remedy this problem of insufficient dyne level or dyne level degradation may be to have appropriately sized or specified equipment. This needs to be done in the first place, not after the fact."
