Vetaphone has integrated with Karlville for corona treatment on laminators, adding the VE1H-C(C4)920 corona treater units and iPM200 generator modules to the Karlville TL-800 laminator.

The TL-800 model requires two corona stations – one in each of the unwind sections – and both need extractor fans and exhaust ducting to work at maximum efficiency. 

The Vetaphone equipment treaters are single-sided and fitted with ceramic electrodes with roller faces of 920mm. 

The generator has a power output of 8kW and gives accurate watt density control by following the line speed automatically.  It has a zero-speed switch and automatic start relay that protects the RD62UR standard blower fan that Vetaphone also supplied, along with an optional ozone eliminator.

In the A/NZ region, Karlville is represented by Currie Group. Supplying technology to the label and flexible packaging sectors, the company’s machines produce a variety of shrink sleeves, pouches, tapes and multipacks.

Karlville said selects it supplying partners with great care and according to its company president John Price, “It’s important that every ancillary supplier matches the quality of our brand, and that includes prompt and responsive after-sales support. 

“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. They are innovative and their technology fits well with our policy of best TCO.

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