A metal enclosure or cabinet around the operational parts of the corona treating station helps protect workers from injury and adjacent equipment from damage.
High voltages, ozone, other corrosive gases and vapors are generated by corona treating. Although they are inherent in the process, they can be adequately controlled. Solo Systems corona treater cabinets are designed to reduce the hazards of these environmental conditions.
First, the enclosure helps protect operators from electrical shock and mechanical injury. Access doors to the enclosure have safety switches that are interlocked so that power is cut off whenever a door is opened for service. A zero speed switch cuts the power if the line stops. Viewing windows are located to permit observation of the corona without opening the cabinet.
Second, the enclosure is a plenum chamber which can be connected by ducting to an exhaust system. Air paths through the enclosure are carefully calculated to provide the necessary supply air for efficent vapor removal. An exhaust duct is strategically located on the enclosure to allow maximum effective purge of the station. The duct is easily attached to a blower and the plant exhaust system. When the enclosure is properly installed, ducted and vented the blower can remove the ozone and other gases from the work area.
All Solo Systems treater cabinets are made of corrosion resistant, alodined aluminum with stainless steel hardware. They are pre-wired and meet or exceed National Electrical Code specifications. These features help maintain a cleaner, safer workplace.
