ICE 2019 – Contactless roller cleaner

Cleaning roller surfaces is a challenge for many companies. Often executed by hand, it forces production stops and causes high downtime costs. Furthermore, for reasons of safety, many companies are always looking for better solutions. The ED-TL-clean is the innovative solution for the inline-cleaning of different roller surfaces. Based on the development of dielectrically barrier discharges by Plasma Green GmbH, our partner Derichs and we have developed a touchless cleaning device.

A newly developed dielectrically impeded plasma (DBD – dielectric barrier discharge) is used to clean the roller. This plasma is pulsed, low in energy (cold) and homogeneous, in contrast to corona plasmas. It develops little to no dangerous species. Nonetheless, the species in the DBD are just as highly reactive and simply build up their debris and pollutants in sustainable compounds such as CO2 and H2O.

With a specially designed device mounted at the non-film wrapped part of the roller, this system can be used continuously. Equipped with appropriate sensors, contamination can be monitored, and plasma action and working time can be controlled. The ED-TL-clean minimises downtime costs and optimises workplace safety.
