Description

IPM International Perforation Management is a relative small high-tech engineering company with a team of specialized, highly skilled technicians and engineers who, with competent partners in China and Europe, develop, design, tailor made, manufacture nano micro electrostatic or laser perforation or material treatment systems or machines. As well intelligent inline vision scanning sensor porosity, permeability etc. control technology for global sales and potential customers as ready-to-use projects. Qualification, training and technology transfer for technical and operation personnel are an essential part of our services as well as prosperous and long-term technology cooperation. The founder of IPM, Mr. Werner Grosse, has been working since 1979 as application engineer, project, operation manager, technical director in the international field of applied electrostatic and laser perforation as well in optical online porosity control for the tobacco, fine paper, refinement and other industries. During his professional career and collaboration in numbered research assignments he initiated more than 46 inventions, among more than 34 patents, also outside of EU and in China as well. Thanks to patented technologies and production processes, new generations of refinement procedures, products properties, characteristics, application fields, production machines and optical online porosity vision control systems have been developed. It’s including world-wide new optical dyn control process for fast moving plastic films and foils. After he became a self-employer in 1992, the GmbH was established in 1993.

This resulted in an expansion of the micro electrostatic perforation technology into application fields such as filter, cigarette, packaging, printing, bag, food and non-woven for the paper refinement and packaging industry. Since 1994 the GmbH belong to an international supplier group. After many years of prosperous cooperation as shareholder and managing director, Mr. Grosse left the GmbH company at the end of 2001 in order to enhance innovations with his new engineering company to design new production machines and products which among other qualities have specific and unprecedented product characteristics in tied cooperation with relatively large customers, especially in Asia and South America.

Apart from these business ventures, he has joined national, international organizations whose aim is to enhance innovative, creative, patent conforming and educational targets and which international exchanging of technical, economical knowledge. As a result of his membership in several organizations and due to his work in the field of electrostatic nano or laser micro, macro perforations, material treatment and optical online porosity, scanning and vision control technology, Mr. Werner Grosse has given many lectures and published a great number of technical papers, engineering reports etc. which are available in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Thai and Mandarin.

He received the Caiyun Award from the Chinese Yunnan government in 2004 and other countries as well, for his expertise as foreign expert on electro static, laser cluster perforation and optical online porosity scanning control and processes, systems and for the added value of the innovative production technology, achieved by its transfer of knowledge and the successful cooperation with a large industry and tobacco Group in China and their improved production.

Multiple online ventilation at cigarette making machines OESP-1 Perforation of tipping or cigarette paper at filter cigarettes as mass products.

Electrostatic perforation has been used since 30 years for ventilation of non-filter, RYO or filter cigarettes to create a directed and guided air bypass or Lindstroem principle. For this purpose, cigarette paper for some non filter or RYO cigarettes and almost every kind of filter cigarettes tipping papers are perforated electro statically OFFLINE in zones from 2.0–6.0 mm width or in rows with ONLINE or OFFLINE by use of slow, fast flow, sealed-off or SLAB carbon gas or diode laser in order to reduce the harmful substances such as nicotine and condensate down to allowed values. Another effect is the possibility to control the degree of ventilation of Cigarettes. IPM ONLINE micro perforation technology and former patents EP0460369 and DE4018209 enables cigarette tipping paper perforation while cigarette making processes to reduce nicotine and condensate levels for non-filter cigarettes.

The electrostatic online multiple perforation process OESP-1 open new possibilities for cigarette tipping paper ventilation during cigarette manufacturing by full integration of perforation equipment or cassettes http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0460369.html

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. To archive that immense perforation demands IPM developed, designed, patent grand new electronic perforation unit which working as upward converters with IGBT, MOSFET, FREDFET or HVFET for power pulses from 1 up to 15 micro seconds, high current peaks up to 300 Amps, base frequencies up to 200 KHz on ferrite transformers to generate high voltage peaks into the shielded sparking cassettes. 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 across the strips and circumference of each cigarette, allows problem less perforations on high-speed cigarette making machines up to 12.000 cpm as MAX-S, MK9, Protos 80, 90 etc.
