Troubleshooting Corona Treatment Equipment in the Film Extrusion Industry, 2000 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
Mario Leonardelli--Preventive Maintenance is the key to insuring high reliability and minimum downtime with Corona Treating Equipment operating in film extrusion applications. “Troubleshooting," the process of malfunction isolation and repair, as well as preventive maintenance, will be covered. However, the highest percentage of time, money and frustration will be saved by conscientious maintenance of the equipment on the regular cycle as recommended by the manufacturer. Troubleshooting techniques will be covered within a complete exposition of the preventive maintenance activities. Also demonstrated will be the purpose, operating conditions, potential problems and symptoms of each element in the Corona Treating System. Cleanliness and other issues that impact on operational results such as "backside treatment" and "over-treatment" will also be covered.
