Barrier coating system hits new output mark.Throughput rate Throughput rate is an obsolete term[1] in the terminology of automated chemical analysis. It may mean either:
1. ^ International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. "throughput rate". for the Actis (programming) Actis - An approach to integrated CASE by Apollo. barrier-coating system for PET bottles has been significantly increased to 40.000 bottles/hr. The new Actis 48 plasma coating system boasts 40% higher output than the previous Actis 20 model and is the industry's fastest barrier-coating system, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. supplier Sidel Inc., Norcross, Ga. With 48 processing stations, Actis 48 provides two levels of barrier treatment. With a coating time of 2.5 sec and treatment thickness of 0.15 micron micron: see micrometer. One micrometer, which is one millionth of a meter or approximately 1/25,000 of an inch. The tiny elements that make up a transistor on a chip are measured in micrometers and nanometers. See process technology. , output of 30,000 bottles/hr can be reached. However, the Actis late treatment applies a coating thickness of 0.06 micron in 1.2 sec on 40,000 bottles/hr. The Actis system deposits a thin layer of hydrogen-rich amorphous carbon Amorphous carbon is an allotrope of carbon that does not have any crystalline structure. As with all glassy materials, some short-range order can be observed, but there is no long-range pattern of atomic positions. on the inside wall of a PET bottle. For bottles up to 600 cc, the coating is said to provide 30 times the oxygen barrier and seven times the C[O.sub.2] barrier of untreated PET. The first Actis 48 machine will be delivered in the second half of 2006. It will used in a beer-bottling application in Germany. Tel: (678) 221-3000 * PTDirect: 911MP [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
