​
This Rapidflame flame treatment system uses high-precision controls to ensure consistent flame composition. Combustion air is controlled through a combination of mass flow meters and a variable frequency drive motor. The fuel gas flow rate is precisely regulated by high-accuracy mass flow controllers to maintain optimal flame composition.

Typical Applications
-
Cardboard Surface Treatment: Burn off protruding fibres and loose material to achieve a smooth and even surface.
-
Fabric Singeing: Remove loose fibres to enhance the fabric’s appearance.
-
Plastic Film Surface Modification: Utilise the chemical properties of flame plasma to improve the adhesion properties of plastic films for printing and bonding
-
Heating Plastic Films: Flame perforation. Heating of plastic films over water cooled rolls with selective ‘hotspots’ to form small holes.
-
Metal Sheet and Coil Pre-treatment: Flame treatment of surfaces to remove microscopic oil films, droplets and dust particles before coating to ensure optimal coating adhesion.
-
Aseptic Packaging lines: Producing multi-layered laminate typically comprised of paperboard, polyethylene, and aluminium foil.
-
Lithium Battery Diaphragm: High molecular functional materials characterised by nano-scale micropores. A crucial component, which directly impacts capacity, cycle life, and safety performance.
Objective
​
-
Enhance Surface Energy: Increases the surface energy of plastics, making them more receptive to adhesives and coatings.
-
Improve Bonding and Adhesion: Ensures that inks, labels, and coatings adhere more effectively to plastic surfaces.
-
Enable Printing, Coating, and Lamination: Facilitates high-quality printing and coating applications, crucial for packaging industries.
