Karville integrates Vetaphone corona treatment on laminators

Karville, an equipment supplier to the label and flexible packaging sectors, has chosen Vetaphone corona treatment technology for its new Karville TL-800 laminator.

Since its foundation in 1996, Karlville has built a business headquartered in the US with facilities across Europe and Asia. More than 3,200 of its machines are installed worldwide. 

‘It’s important that every ancillary supplier matches the quality of our brand, and that includes prompt and responsive after-sales support,’ commented John Price, president of Karlville. ‘Vetaphone came with an excellent reputation from many leading manufacturers in the market. We needed a corona system that we could neatly integrate with our laminator, and Vetaphone responded quickly and within budget. This innovative technology fits well with our policy of best TCO.’

The TL-800 model requires two corona stations – one in each unwind section- and both need extractor fans and exhaust ducting to work at maximum efficiency. The Vetaphone equipment specified includes VE1H-C(C4)920 corona treater units and iPM200 generator modules. The treaters are single-sided and fitted with ceramic electrodes with roller faces of 920mm.

The generator has an 8kW power output and automatically controls watt density accurately by following the line speed. It has a zero-speed switch and automatic start relay that protect the RD62UR standard blower fan that Vetaphone also supplied, as well as an optional ozone eliminator.

‘The TL-800 is an environmentally friendly machine, with no VOCs, odor or any health issues, making it suitable for the food and personal care sector. It offers the best time to market with minimal waste. Most of all, it’s reliable, and that’s why we chose Vetaphone corona treaters,’ concluded Price.
