Introducing the Pillar P7000 Power Supply — a high-performance, intelligent power supply designed for Pillar’s surface treaters to support today’s demanding converting and extrusion environments. From packaging and labeling to extrusion and adhesives, the P7000 powers corona and plasma treaters across a wide range of film and web-based applications. Built with versatility in mind, the P7000 offers advanced PLC connectivity, robust operational monitoring, and multiple run mode

In this video, we will walk you through the proper process for simply checking to see if your IGBT has failed using a multimeter. An Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, or IGBT, is a three-terminal semiconductor device used as a high-efficiency electronic switch. It is commonly found in high-voltage, high-current applications with low power inputs. Some common uses include induction cooktops, AC and DC motor drives, and in Pillar’s own P6000 and P7000 Power Supplies. For safet

Proper maintenance and regular cleaning of your Corona Treater is critical for improving up-time, saving time and money, and helping your Corona Treater to last longer. In this video, we walk you through how to properly clean the ground rolls, insulators, and the electrodes and electrode magazine of your treater station. Click here to learn more.

NPE2024 is back after 6 years! In May of 2024 Pillar Technologies exhibited at the National Plastics Expo in Orlando, FL. Pillar showcased our innovative surface treatment technologies for the Plastics Industry including the new P7000 Power Supply along with our line of surface treaters and solutions for treating blown film. The booth also showcased a few products from our sister company, Vortec. This included the Vortex A/C Enclosure Cooler that keeps electrical cabinets coo

Surface treatment plays a crucial role in achieving optimal adhesion and performance for various materials. Here are ten strategies to enhance your surface treatment results: onsistent Surface Tension Measurement Understanding the "Wettability Gap" Controlling Power Density Regular Ground Roll Cleaning Optimal Wrap Angle and Web Tension Managing Additive Migration Consider a Higher Dielectric Ground Roll Covering Avoid Excessive Heat Exposure Introduce Atmospheric Plasma Tech

When it comes to Corona Treaters, there are three different types of electrode assemblies that are offered. Stainless Steel Segmented Electrodes Stainless Steel Finned Electrodes And Ceramic Round or Square Electrodes Stainless steel segmented electrodes (available in 3 mm, 6 mm, 12,5 mm) allow operators using dielectric covered rolls the flexibility to treat various web widths and “lane” treat while achieving higher treat levels. Users can select which sections of the materi

Introducing the Pillar Lab Jet portable corona sheet treater. With it’s compact and portable design, the Lab Jet is ideal for research and development labs to determine watt density for different dyne levels. The Lab Jet features: A compact design with a 42” x 22” footprint, making it portable and easy to use Able to treat conductive and non-conductive sheet materials up to 16”x16” and up to 2mm thick. Comes standard with a built in power supply, output transformer, and ozone

The Blown Film Surface Treater is an economical system primarily used in the cast and blown film extrusion industries. The corona treater design promotes ease of thread-up along with an industry first break away electrode design. With standard mounting brackets and lifting eyes, installation is quick and easy. The high voltage transformer is mounted directly to the station with all high voltage connections factory wired and tested. The easy-thread, “drop through” design enabl

The Universal Surface Treater from Pillar Technologies is the ideal solution to integrate into converting lines for the treating of film extrusion, adhesive coatings, and laminating and printing needs. The Universal Surface Treater combines the best of all surface treatment equipment configurations, allowing for maximum power and flexibility for all surface treatment applications. This advanced technology features a patented design of easily interchangeable magazines and grou

We are are excited to announce that Vortec, Pillar Tech, and Paxton Products, all ITW organizations, are uniting their sales teams to better serve customer needs in similar markets. Click here to learn more about this organizational change.

For printing, coating, or laminating needs, Pillar offers quality solutions through corona surface treatment. Corona treatment systems are designed to apply high-voltage and high-frequency electrical discharges to film in order to increase the surface energy of substrates.
