- Description
- A vacuum coating and metallizing machine. Aluminium wire is heated in ceramic boats in a vacuum chamber until it becomes molten and vaporises. The vaporised aluminium condenses onto the substrate (e.g. film or paper) forming a thin layer to be deposited uniformly onto the film or paper. This process does not alter the aluminium which remains aluminium once it re-condenses after the vaporisation process. The machine is also capable of performing plasma treatments. An electrical voltage is applied to gas ionising it to form plasma. The plasma is used to clean the surface prior to the metalizing process and improves the bonding capabilities. This is performed and does not alter the physical state of the substrate or the aluminium. Features include a large coating window, a 700 mm diameter coating drum, and an automatic sequential control (ASC) system for ease of operation. This machine is used for producing high barrier, flexible packaging and supports applications in various industries including food, beverages, personal care, home and office, industrial transit, and specialty areas like security printing.
