Which means pore sizes from 0.050 up 80 microns diameter by up to 5 million per square meter. This is due to the water’s greater surface tension which hampers the permeation through the relatively small micro pores. These and other physical advantages of the relatively small pores necessarily demand the application of the cluster perforation method because alternative perforation or processes are NOT feasible, too expensive or simply uneconomical and would not lead to a successful application. |

Technology
ELECTROSTATIC NANO MICRO CLUSTER PERFORATION or material treatment, based at micro discharging and sparking, plasma tunnel effects with gas atomic ionization in nano second time windows. The pores are normally statistical irregularly distributed in controlled size ranges from 0.05-80 microns diameter and analogically, under LASER or MICRO or MACRO PERFORATION, arranged in diameter sizes from 60 up 200 microns, at best non-inclined holes und holes rows of diverse arrangement comprehension. For the naked human eye invisible electrostatic nano or micro perforations may be arranged in areas or zone bands with specific distances within its web. Controlled pore sizes in wide ranges from 0.050 up 80 micron diameters by holes sequences up to 16 million pores per second and 0.1 up 3 mill Joule discharge energy for each pore. Process and power electronics patent granted with DE10328937.
Performance
Arrangements of zones are usually carried out in width from 2 to 6mm and pores density of 15 up to 250 pores per square cm whereas the perforation of areas results in pore densities of up to 5 million pores per m2 in surface-all-over design. Electro static perforations allow porosity levels from 80 up 2500 Coresta Units (ml/min/2cm2, 1,000Pa), equality from 40 down to 3 Gurley material web widths from 100 up 2000 mm at web speeds of up to 500 m/min, depending on porosity and material consistency in relation to its ability to perforate.
Physical Properties
One of the foremost postulation which can be applied to many application purposes and products containing bonded fabrics, bag or packaging papers, non-woven, etc. with gas or steam permeability but water in-permeability will be found at the application stage of the electrostatic micro cluster perforation. Which means pore sizes from 0.050 up 80 microns diameter by up to 5 million per square meter. This is due to the water’s greater surface tension which hampers the permeation through the relatively small micro pores. These and other physical advantages of the relatively small pores necessarily demand the application of the cluster perforation method because alternative perforation or processes are NOT feasible, too expensive or simply uneconomical and would not lead to a successful application.

Low investment and finance budget of technical modifications because exchanges of certain elements, complete devices are adaptable on existent offline perforation machines or other laser treatment handling systems. Capability to adapt beam divert devices or units at online perforation system at cigarette making machines up 12000 cpm.
OESP-1 OLP-1 multiple ventilation of mass products
Electrostatic perforation has been used since 30 years for ventilation of non-filter cigarettes to create a directed and guided air bypass. For this purpose, cigarette paper for some MYO or RYO and almost every kind of filter cigarettes tipping papers are perforated electro statically offline in zones from 2 up 6 mm width or in rows width by uses of sealed-off laser to reduce the harmful substances such as nicotine and condensate down to countries restricted levels. Another effect is the possibility to control the degree of ventilation of cigarettes. IPM inline technology and former patents EP0460369, DE4018209 enables cigarette tipping paper perforation while cigarette making processes to reduce nicotine and condensate levels for non filter cigarettes.
The electrostatic inline multiple perforation process opening now new possibilities for cigarette tipping paper ventilation during cigarette manufacturing by full integration of perforation equipment or cassettes. This provides for uniform, intensive and very powerful perforation and the cigarette paper treated can be continuously supplied to the cigarette machine for further processing in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette. Advantages, direct mechanical integration of perforation units, functional interfacing and EMI level in according of international CE conformity, EG, EN, NEC, CCC standards archiving high production efficiencies and controllable ventilation grades on highly automated cigarette machines. Dual IGBT power electronics and multiple perforation performances cross the strips and circumference of each cigarette, allows problem less perforations on high speed cigarette making machines up to 12000 cpm at MAX-S, MK9, Protos 80, 90.
