CSME
Compact, versatile, economical. The all-in-one solution
for printing, laminating and coating applications.

The CSME corona treatment station has been specially designed for small-scale
series production. It combines the advantages of economical standard systems and
SOFTAL custom-engineered premium solutions.
This station is our response to frequent customer requests for a compact, versatile,
and economical treatment station for refresh treatment of medium-width materials in
printing, laminating, coating, and other converting processes.
Each step of the CSME station‘s design was taken with special consideration for
optimum cost-benefit-ratio. It is marketed in standardized packages for cost-optimized
manufacturing.
Decades of design experience are reflected in the technical details:


With compact build and robust side frames, the CSME requires minimal space
and can be installed in a number of positions. It is ideally suited for integration
into new machines, or upgrading existing systems.
The high-voltage transformer is mounted directly on the station side frame, and
a high-voltage cable is not required.

The station can be specified for film widths between 800 and 2500 mm.

An optional nip roll can be added without affecting the compact dimensions.




Condensate forming in regions with high air humidity is channeled into a
condensate trap for draining or collection.
A range of coatings is available for the treater roll.
The station is factory-prepared for implementation of a speed-dependent power
control system.
The treater roll is fitted with a drive journal, and can be equipped with a drive
motor as part of an active web tension control system.
