With 50 years of experience, Arcotec GmbH is a successful manufacturer of all four methods of physical pre-treatment under atmospheric pressure (corona, plasma, flame and silica coating). The Arcotec treatment units in use world-wide are an attribute to our continued high quality and our unique know-how in the field of surface pre-treatment.
Introduction of the atmospheric plasma unit (Arcospot®), which emits a high-energy spark discharge. Through the introduction of atmospheric plasma units the market particularly for materials that are difficult to treat at high passing speeds was opened up.
A further physical treatment principle, the “flame treatment”, was introduced.
The company Arcotec GmbH is founded.
Development and application of the first Plasma unit world-wide with freely radiating electrodes (Arcojet) for the treatment of moulded plastic components; this unit operates by way of an electric plasma.
The manufacture of pre-treatment equipment based upon high-frequency Corona started in 1975.
