Fakuma 2024
At the world's leading plastics exhibition (injection moulding, extrusion, thermoforming, raw materials, machinery, surface treatment, automation), we showcased the latest in atmospheric plasma treatment.
We mounted the In Air Plasma XL nozzle on our collaborative robot used in the laboratory. This nozzle can treat a surface of up to 70 mm.
The service of testing customer samples in the laboratory, with measurement of results and preparation of reports for each specific requirement, was particularly appreciated by visitors to the booth.
Drupa
In the field of corona treatment, we exhibited Polimetal - designed for every converting application (coating, laminating, flexo and gravure printing, extrusion coating) - and the new Format system for individual sheets has been designed for Laboratories and for companies which print on small batches and need to reinstate treatment on already manufactured substrates.
We also exhibited In Air Plasma, perfect for treating areas on which the glue is applied, as it activates the surface optimising the hold of boxes, plastic packaging and plastic-coated paper.

K 2022
We presented the Evo Smart generator, Bikappa Rotary and Polimetal corona treaters at the Dusseldorf plastics and rubber exhibition.
As plasma treatment, we exhibited solutions for printing, laminating, and cleaning and for coding, marking, and labeling. The two characters representing Corona and Plasma treatments were animating the booth.
MECSPE
From June 9th to 11th we participated in Mecspe, an event dedicated to the manufacturing industry. We presented In Air Plasma, the plasma treatment system under atmospheric pressure, which improves adhesion on small plastic surfaces and performs cleaning of metal surfaces. The system consists of a high-performance generator connected to one or two nozzoles via shielded cable. The single nozzle allows 10 mm to be treated. In Air Plasma requires limited maintenance and integrates seamlessly into customers' production lines, without requiring complex maintenance operations.
PRINT4ALL
From May 3rd to the 6th, Ferrarini & Benelli presented its main printing and converting solutions at the Print4All exhibition in Milan. Visitors particularly appreciated the Polimetal universal treatment system, suitable for all converting applications. Available in four models, all with a two-sided version, the Polimetal system allows easy film threading, accessibility to all internal components and simple air-gap adjustment. Moreover, the ET 98 narrow-web label treatment system was exhibited, with a compact design compatible with a wide range of technologies: UV flexographic, water- or solvent-based, gravure and offset printing.
2021
Virtual Drupa
Due to live events being cancelled, the Drupa team set up a virtual version of this relevant event. 212 exhibitors from 35 countries exhibited their products digitally, taking advantage of a virtual showroom and a matchmaking function, which allowed Ferrarini & Benelli to interact with users from all over the world through videos, chats and virtual meetings.
Polimetal stood out among the solutions displayed: this universal treatment system, suitable for all converting applications, can treat plastic and metallised films, aluminium foil and paper and it is marked by great production flexibility. The hood of the system allows for easy film threading, also facilitating routine maintenance and cleaning operations, as well as air-gap adjustment and electrode removal.
Equiplast
Ferrarini & Benelli participated in Equiplast, the event dedicated to the field of rubber and plastics taking place in Barcelona. We presented the technical features and main advantages of our range of multi-discharge electrodes, which ensure excellent thermal stability and a consistent air-gap along the entire treatment width. The aluminium and stainless steel electrodes are available in sectors of variable lenghts to allow zone corona treatment and adapt to the width of the film. We also exhibited our range of discharge rollers: in addition to rollers coated with calibrated silicone sleeve or vulcanised rollers, we presented our rollers coated with a special conductive ceramic material.
Interplas
Our solutions for blown extrusion and flexo printing were displayed to the 12.400 visitors who attended the 2021 edition of Interplas, the leading plastics industry event in the UK.
