Any converter or film manufacturer that requires film treatment can realize cost savings using Glassed Steel Treater Rolls.


infrequent resurfacing
Glassed steel treater rolls rarely require resurfacing. Other roll coatings typically require resurfacing after 12-18 months. Glassed Steel Treater Rolls outlast all other roll coverings.

High dielectric strength
Glassed steel rolls have a dielectric strength of 800 v/mil. The higher dielectric strength means fewer pinholes, longer roll life and treatment reliability.

Less downtime
 Since Glassed Steel Treater Rolls last longer than all dielectric coatings, there is less downtime to change out rolls. More line time means more output!

Treatmtment quality
Because of its superiour capacitance, a corona discharge forms quickly and uniformly with a Glassed Steel Treater Roll. This results in less product waste and better product quality.

Cut resistance
Corona treaters operate in environments that lead to dielectric failure. Knife cuts, friction from the web, and ozone degredation have adverse effects on the covering. Glassed steel has the best cut strength of any roll coating. It is is immune to ozone and resistant to knife cuts, scratches and normal wear and tear.

Less Cleaning
With a non-pourous, hard and non-sticky surface, little or no residue builds up on a Glassed Steel Treater Roll. This means less cleaning, fewer cleaning supplies and a savings to you.

Power Savings
Glassed steel uses up to 50% less energy while achieving uniform and consistently higher treatment levels due to lower power consumption.

Heat dissipation
If your dielectric roll does not dissipate heat normally, or if there is insufficient cooling, pinholing is a possibility. A material that dissipates heat evenly, reduces energy cost as well. Glassed Steel Treater Rolls dissipate more heat than any other treater roll covering.

Cost savings plus the industry’s only 5 year warranty add up to the quickest payback of any treater roll.

1. Scheduled Downtime Savings
Since GSTR's last 5-10 times as long as other dielectric coatings there is less scheduled downtime required to change out rolls

3. Unscheduled downtime
When an operator accidentally cuts a roll, or a pinhole occurs because the roll coating fails prematurely you experience costly unscheduled downtime. The GSTR cannot be cut, and because the coating is inorganic it does not degrade. This means many fewer roll failures.

4. Maintenance/Cleaning Savings
Because of its non-porous, hard and non-sticky surface, less residue builds up on a GSTR than other roll coatings. This means less cleaning and fewer cleaning supplies		 $
5. Energy Savings
GSTR's are a superior capacitor. This allows the same treatment levels to be achieved using up to 50% less power

6. Quality Savings
Damaged and inferior roll coatings can cause backside treatment and/or unacceptable treatment levels - most often just prior to a roll failure. GSTR's produce uniform, consistent treatment and can reduce or eliminate backside treatment.

Also, since a corona forms sooner with GSTR's you are in start-up for less time which results in less wasted film
