Innovative surface treatment
Plasmatreat is an international leader in the development and production of atmospheric plasma systems for the pre-treatment of material surfaces. Whether plastics, metal, glass or paper - the surface properties are modified in favour of the process requirements by way of industrial use of plasma technology.

The Plasmatreat group has technology centres in Germany, USA, Canada, China and Japan and is present with their globe-spanning sales and service network of subsidiaries and sales partners in more than 30 countries. Read more...​​​​​​​

The Openair-Plasma® technology is used in almost every automated and continuous production process of most industries.

This is for example the automotive, electronics, transportation, packaging, consumer goods or textile industry, but also the medical equipment and the renewable energies sectors use technology-, cost- and environmental benefits of plasma technology.

The ESS31-T circuit breaker for DC 24 V applications used in Plasmatreat’s special machines not only complies with the UL 1077 as „Supplementary Protector“, but also meets the approval according to EN / IEC 60934, thus being accepted worldwide.

This ensures certified protection of equipment in a control cabinet and of components in the field around the world, without having to change the electrical design.

The 4 A circuit breakers ensure targeted protection in so-called “Low-voltage limited energy circuits” in “Industrial control panels” (control and switching cabinets) according to UL508A, while devices for up to 12 A are used for reliable protection of DC motors with high inrush currents.

The ESS31-T circuit breaker combines standard-compliant and effective protection of DC 24 V circuits. After a fault-related disconnection due to short circuit or overload, the electronic circuit breaker signals the status by means of a red LED. A green LED displays the “good-condition”.

The visualisation enables clear detection of faulty circuits. Via the push button, the device can easily be switched on or off or reset after an error. The thought-through handling facilitates troubleshooting and increases system availability.
