Ahlbrandt® - A Baldwin Technology Company is a world renowned manufacturer of corona treat-
ment systems for printing and industrial applications such as film and sheet extrusion, and tex-
tiles. Our systems offer key features and benefits that set them apart from the competition by
providing ease of service and reliability that is simply unmatched. A key differentiator: Ahlbrandt
systems use four electrodes instead of the common “2-up” design, which dramatically improves
treatment results.

How It Works:
Corona treatment systems work by increasing the surface energy of materials like plastic films, papers
EXECUTIVE P
and foils, so that they can be printed on or coated with perfectly uniform results and effective adhesion.
Ahlbrandt’s premium quality German-made systems are known around the world as the leading corona
treatment solution for the printing and film extrusion industries - they are also used in converting, narrow-
web flexography, parts manufacturing and a host of other applications.

For years Ahlbrandt’s Corona systems has been the proven standard solution for the surface-wide han-
dling of plastic films, metalized films, paper and textiles in Europe. Its unique “four-up” electrode design
requires only one housing, a superior design feature that differentiates it from other solutions on the
market.

Since Baldwin acquired Ahlbrandt in 2017, these products are now readily available and serviceable
internationally, with ample product-support resources now established in the North American market.

Noteworthy Benefits:
- Achieve the dyne levels needed for application of inks, coatings, etc. on nonporous substrates
- Quick electrode changes and “cuttable” electrodes provide a unique advantage with Ahlbrandt corona
systems
- The Corona Slim is available for narrow- and mid-web flexographic printing applications
New: Plasma Pure for Textiles: The Ahlbrandt Plasma
Pure is proven to enable enhanced and more efficient
dyeing, coating and lamination of textiles and
nonwovens. The system’s high-voltage ceramic elec-
trodes generate an air plasma used to efficiently treat
the fabric surface. The result: considerably improved
absorption and adhesion properties of the fabric.
Dyeing Quality Boosts Productivity: While enhancing
the absorption properties with an optimized and uniform
dyeing result, the Plasma technology also significantly accelerates the absorption process. These ben-
efits not only increase quality, they also boost productivity since Plasma treated fabric with faster absorp-
tion requires considerably shorter drying time.

Improved Coating and Lamination: Additionally, the system increases the adhesion properties of the
fabric, for more efficient coating and laminating processes.
Designed for Easy Handling:
The slim design enables easy integration and retrofit into existing production lines and allows for fast and
easy service.
Defined by high efficiency treatment, maximum uptime and easy maintenance, Plasma Pure facilitates
optimized productivity and continuous quality in your production process.
