Ferrarini & Benelli (Romanengo, Italy) specialises in designing and manufacturing surface treatment systems and boasts over 60 years of experience. At FAKUMA 2024, the company will exhibit in Hall A7, Booth 7404, and showcase its portfolio of plasma treatment solutions.
The company’s plasma treatment is used worldwide to activate plastic substrates, making them more receptive to inks, glues, and coatings. This ensures excellent printing, varnishing, and glueing. The plasma discharge is directed towards the substrate to treat through one or more discharge nozzles. The discharge nozzles differ in type and quantity depending on the application, type of substrate and area width to act upon. The surface tension achieved is very high owing to the targeted discharge.
