All Over Flame Treatment for Cylindrical Products

Flame treatment systems provide valuable surface treatments to a wide variety of products, enhancing adhesion of secondary printing or coating applications.  Flame treatment systems alter the chemistry of the surface exterior without changing the appearance, to allow for better adhesion.  Plastics are typically non-porous with a smooth surface which is not conducive to adhesion with inks and coatings such as varnishes and lacquers.  Plastic cups and products are often run through a flame treatment machine prior to screen printing to ensure a successful printing job with ink that will adhere to the surface and not wipe off or smudge.  

Flame treatment machines are also useful when cleaning up or removing flash from products.  Flash is the term referred to when ‘strings’ of plastic are left over hanging off a product typically molded from plastic.  This flash, or leftover material, can be burned off without changing the product quality when quickly passed through the flame treatment machine.  This is much more cost efficient than having manual labor employees snipping or trimming parts to remove flash. An efficient flame treatment process effectively treats parts one after the other, improving part quality with reduced labor expense.   .
