Compare Corona Treating with LectroTreat

Unlike typical corona treating systems, the suppressed spark system doesn't use high frequency operating at 50/60HZ. It is far safer for employees in a plant operation, and close proximity to an electrode is not required.

LectroTreat	Evaluation Factors	Corona Treaters
Total uniform 360 degree treatment of the three dimensional parts.	Surface Coverage	Treatment only where properly adjusted corona discharge comes in contact with the part.
No heat damage to the part being treated. Little or no heat added to the part.	Parts Damage	High temperature corona can melt, burn, disfigure the part.
Parallel surface treatment of the part with the electrical discharge, no damage to the part surface.	Overtreatment Potential	Perpendicular surface treatment of the parts, with the electrical discharge, pin holes can occur.
No personnel safety hazards with high voltage. Less .001 amps in the electrical discharge.	Safety	High power and current.
No set-up when switching parts to be treated.	Set-Up	Extensive set-up required when changing parts to be treated as well as changing configured electrodes & conforming ground.
Simple installation, only electrical and 6” exhaust hook up needed, no fixturing.	Installation	Fixturing required to insure corona discharge is in contact with area needing treatment. Separate electrodes required for each individual treating area & Grounds.
Oriented or bulk feed, in line or off line operation.	Material Feed	Oriented parts treating only.
Low frequency, 50-60 HZ operation.	Frequency	High frequency electrical discharge, possible interference with electronic/PLC/Computer operation, possible personnel hazard with those personnel wearing pace makers.
No electrodes to frequently replace or burn out.	Electrodes	Electrodes have limited life span and must be replaced on a periodic basis.
Self contained humidity control, ambient humidity has no effect on treatment.	Humidity	Ambient humidity conditions can effect the quality of the treatment.
Efficient operation, low power consumption.	Power Consumption	High power consumption with multiple configured electrodes.
