Xerium Technologies Inc., Youngstown, N.C., USA, has launched Aurora, a new advanced cover technology for corona treater positions on flexible packaging machines. Aurora Technology was specially engineered for high performance corona treater applications. Aurora operates well at highest dyne levels, while producing extremely uniform corona treatment, and is extremely resistant to roll cover burn-through. Aurora is built with superior dielectric strength, improved thermal conductivity, and superior volume resistivity, which in total provide flexible packaging producers improved machine performance, longer roll cover life, and reduced energy consumption.
