Solo Systems treater stations are designed for easy installation. Mounting angles and plates, high voltage connections and exhaust duct connections are predetermined and included so that installation is often as simple as bolting the station in line, connecting the high voltage wire and attaching the ducting.
Electrical Connections: We recommend that the high voltage lead from the transformer to the treater station be as short as possible to avoid losing power in the line. The lead should be well insulated.
Generator Setting: A variety of instrumentation is available from the major manufacturers of industrial grade electrical generators. Follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions to ensure optimum performance from the system.
Before each start-up:
1. Check generator settings according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Check mechanical operation of the treater station, i.e., roll
coating, bearings, gap adjustment, electrodes, etc.
3. Bring the treater rolls and electrodes up to power and
temperature gradually to avoid thermal shock to the coating.
Note: It is normal for the generator to run at lower power when the treater station components are proportioned correctly. Often, adequate treat is obtained using 50% less power with Solo Systems treater stations. Operating the treater at the lowest possible power settings saves energy, increases roll coating life, increases generator life, decreases noise pollution, and excess ozone.
