Plasma treatment by Ferrarini & Benelli

Plasma treatment by Ferrarini…

Ferrarini & Benelli is an Italian company based in Romanengo, province of Cremona, specialised in designing and manufacturing surface treatment systems with 60 years of experience. The company’s plasma treatment is used worldwide to activate plastic substrates, making them more receptive to inks, glues and coatings to ensure excellent printing, varnishing and gluing.

The plasma discharge is directed towards the substrate to treat through one or more discharge nozzles. The discharge nozzles differ in type and quantity depending on the application, type of substrate and area width to act upon. The surface tension achieved is very high owing to the targeted discharge.

Main applications

  • Folder-gluer lines, to improve adhesion when manufacturing plastics boxes
  • Pipes and pex pipes to improve the quality of ink-jet marking
  • Electrical and special cables to optimise coding
  • Metal substrates, to rid them of the oil residues from lamination
  • Components used in electrical boards and printed circuits
