For several decades it has been possible to generate plasma, but this was only possible under low-pressure (in vacuum, at 10-3 – 10-9 bar), and in a vacuum chamber. Whilst this is very effective, the process is performed in batches and thus is a discontinuous process.
On the other hand, the Openair® process takes place at ambient atmospheric pressure. This means that costly low pressure chambers are not required, and that Openair® plasma treatment technology can be cost-effectively integrated directly into the manufacturing line, either statically or via robots .
Like no other form of energy, plasma energy has the following benefits :
This process can be used to effectively treat any material / surface which comes in contact with plasma, be it metal, plastic, rubber, composites, carton paper, glass, etc..
In Malta, Yield247 have several proven installation, some of which in continuous operation since 2010 !!
