    ATP (CEO Lee Chang-hoon) will participate in ‘KOPLAS 3 (14th International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition)’ to be held at KINTEX in Ilsan for 18 days from Tuesday, March 5th to Saturday, March 2023th. revealed.

    AETP (hereinafter referred to as AETP), a company specializing in plasma surface treatment equipment, produces atmospheric pressure plasma, flame plasma, vacuum plasma, and remote plasma equipment. In Korea, we operate the 1st Donghae Camp, the 2nd Camp in Seoul, and the 3rd Camp in Daegu, and we also operate an AETP JAPAN branch in Osaka, Japan. We have export records to the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, Poland, China, Vietnam, and Japan, and are making efforts to expand the establishment of agents and branches.

    The company explains that it conducts everything from 3D design to PLC programming in-house, and completes automation equipment design, test run, delivery, and installation, including instrument assembly and quality testing, boasting quick delivery and high quality. It holds 7 registered patents and ISO 9001/14001, and has numerous patent applications pending at home and abroad. It was also selected as a next-generation first-class product by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

    This exhibition will showcase ‘atmospheric pressure plasma, flame plasma, and vacuum plasma’, which are plasma surface treatment equipment required for printing, coating, adhesion, and painting pre-treatment processes in the plastics industry.

    The AP (Air Plasma) series is an atmospheric pressure plasma equipment that can treat product surfaces simply and quickly. It is mainly used for surface activation and cleaning purposes and mainly increases adhesion to chemical products used in post-processing. The official explains that a faster and more eco-friendly process can achieve a higher adhesion effect by chemically forming hydrophilic functional groups on the surface of the product rather than physically damaging the surface and roughening it.

    Essential and effective control systems such as temperature sensing plasma control system, automatic pneumatic pressure reduction system, and pneumatic double limit control can be set up through the touch screen. In addition to the standard products AP-5000 and AP-5000R, there are AP-multi with multi-heads, AP-wide for processing wide surfaces (film, etc.), and AP-profile for processing extrusion profiles.

    An AETP official explained the background to participating in the exhibition, saying, “We hope that this exhibition will inform related companies and potential customers of our excellent products and serve as an opportunity to generate interest in plasma.”

    In addition, “The AP series demonstrates how it can be used in an actual field with a 6-axis robot, so you can understand at a glance how a plasma process can be added. Additionally, the precisely moving robot is different from the AP series. “It will provide different attractions,” he said.

    On the other hand, KOPLAS, which celebrates its 2023th anniversary in 27, provides a variety of attractions from raw materials for plastics to molds, processing machines, related auxiliary devices, automation solutions, printing, packaging, semi-finished products, and finished products, and presents the present and future of related industries. It provides a ‘place for the plastic rubber-related industry’. As it is held at the same time as the Korea Material·Composite Material and Equipment Exhibition (K-Mtech) and the International Mold and Related Equipment Exhibition (INTERMOLD KOREA), you can meet various products in one place.
