Enercon Industries has released a new removable cartridge with quick disconnect electrodes that minimise downtime when replacing corona treater electrodes and performing routine maintenance. The innovative design is available with new corona treaters and as a field upgrade for existing treaters.

“Enercon engineers have done a tremendous job of providing our customers with a new way to reduce downtime without sacrificing any of the features of our current design. Maintenance can be performed in place when desired. The assembly remains pneumatically controlled and pivots freely to protect the electrodes from unexpected splices,” says Enercon Sales Director Mike McConnell.
Several methods to reduce downtime
The design enables operators with several methods to reduce downtime. When replacing a ceramic electrode with the cartridge attached to the station, there is no high-voltage wiring to connect or disconnect. Operators can also remove the entire cartridge without tools and load a replacement cartridge in a matter of seconds. Maintenance on the cartridge can be performed offline or in-place depending on the operator’s preference.
Enercon Industries Corporation, headquartered in Germantown, WI, is a major equipment manufacturer for the plastics, converting and packaging industries. The company supplies custom-built corona and atmospheric plasma treating systems, as well as induction cap sealing systems.
