Plasmait moves to new facility

Plasmait, a supplier of plasma heat and surface treatment machinery for wire, tube, and strip products, has moved to a new facility in Lannach, Austria. It includes a large shop floor space with a crane and offices, as well as four heat and surface treatment lines used for client demonstrations and trials. The lines are used for heat treatment trials on various ferrous and nonferrous materials in a wide temperature range, as well as demonstrations of surface cleaning, surface activation, and coating on client materials.

Demonstrations of the PlasmaPreplate process are performed in line with a hot-dip tin bath for acid-free and flux-free hot-dip tinning of copper, steel, and aluminum alloys. The process can perform simultaneous heat treatment of the material before tinning.

Demonstration lines also are available for rent, which allows clients to test plasma treatment machinery at their own facilities integrated into their existing manufacturing process.

The company also offers demonstrations and testing on its batch plasma treatment machine, which can be used with various process gases, including hydrogen. The machine is equipped with a cooling system that allows adjustable cooling rates.
