AFS Generators & surface testing

A corona station is only as good as the generator driving it, and treatment you cannot measure is treatment you cannot guarantee.

AFS build modular generators from 1000 W to 144 kW running at resonance frequency, and supply the verification side too — Quick-Test Pens for an instant pass/fail against the 38 mN/m solvent-ink threshold, and graduated test inks for precise dyne-level measurement.

AFS AFS generators

AFS generators

With over 40 years of experience, AFS generators are among the best-selling in the world. They guarantee reliable and efficient power supply for your Corona treatment stations and Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactors thanks to the highest quality and safety standards. Benefit from maximum availability, intuitive operation, and optimal process integration.

Quick-Test Pen

The adhesion of a surface is usually directly dependent on its surface energy. If the surface energy of a surface is significantly lower than that of the printing ink used, wetting is disrupted, resulting in poor adhesion.

Corona test inks

The adhesion of a surface is usually directly dependent on its surface energy. If the surface energy of a surface is significantly lower than that of the printing ink used, wetting is disrupted, resulting in poor adhesion. For this reason, plastic surfaces to be printed must have certain surface tensions, depending on the type of ink used:

AFS in Pakistan — through K Group

K Group is the authorized agent for AFS in Pakistan. Surface treatment is specified on substrate, working width, line speed and how many sides need treating — tell us those and the target surface energy, and we will size the station and the generator.
