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 60-200 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 0.050-80 micron diameters by holes sequences up to 16 million pores per second and 0.1-3 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 80-2,500 Coresta Units (ml/min/2cm2, 1,000Pa), equality from 40 down to 3 Gurley material web widths from 100-2,000mm 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 nano micro cluster perforation. Which means pore sizes from 0.050-80 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 nano or 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.

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 2.0–6.0mm 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 12,000cpm at MAX-S, MK9, Protos80, Protos90.
Online perforation with patent granted high-speed laser multiplexer, 8 laser lines, 10.6 microns wavelength, Co2 sealed-off e.g. M2<0.9, Coherent ULR-300 Synrad, Hans laser, output 45 grad divert mirror, centre high-speed spin twin beam splitter up to 1,200rpm/sec., out coupled with flexible waveguide hollow fibers, HCW, HWG, each in lengths up to 3 meters.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0460369.html
The method and the device for electro erosive perforation of cigarette paper basically operates with at least two pairs of electrodes which are ignited at the same time in such a manner that each perforation section is treated twice in order to provide a corresponding intensity of perforation, taking into consideration the duration of ignition and the web speed. In particular, the invention operates with at least four pairs of electrodes (I to IV), between which the web (10) of cigarette paper to be perforated is moved through.
The cigarette paper is moved in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette to be produced later, the width corresponding to the circumference of the cigarette plus an overlap section for bonding. Perforating is carried out transversely to the direction of movement, that is to say an accurately defined zone section is produced around the circumference of the cigarette. The pairs of electrodes are arranged at a distance which corresponds to half the cigarette length (a, b, c) when four pairs of electrodes are used.
The first and the third pair of electrodes are ignited simultaneously. A distance-dependent control causes the second and fourth pair of electrodes also to be ignited simultaneously when the previously perforated sections have traveled the distance of half a cigarette length.
Each section is perforated four times, the speed at which the web (10) can be moved being determined not by the spacing (half a cigarette length) of the pairs of electrodes but by the spacing of the pairs of electrodes in each case simultaneously ignited (one cigarette length).
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.
That electrostatic micro perforation process enables cigarette or tipping paper while cigarette making processes to reduce nicotine and condensate levels for non-filter and filter cigarettes as well. The OESP-1 devices opens fully new possibilities for cigarette or tipping paper ventilation during cigarette manufacturing by entire perforation cassettes integration into cigarette making machines as MaxS, Protos 80, Protos 90, Mark9 etc.
Advantages during manufacturing
Compact all-over-dimensions, direct mechanical integration of perforation units, easy functional interfacing and full EMI acceptance in order of EN or NEC standards archiving high production efficiencies with controllable ventilation grades on highly automated cigarette making machines.
Liability and system investment
The ESP process OESP-1 has a high liability and is realizable with low investments and low running costs when compared with online macro or micro laser perforation processes. An online porosity control system OPSS-1 monitor continuously the air permeability, called optical online porovision or porosimeter, with a state-of-the-art technology to obtain a close-loop/feed-back to the perforation unit to keep ventilation grades constant.
Conclusion: Online micro perforation processes are possible to use for other mass products and application fields with full system integration in entire production lines as bag, sack, packaging manufacturing etc.

In-suit dyne surface tension wettability control
Method and device for optical inline tough less surface tension control ODSTM-1 in DE19543289 by which the fast moving substrate through the measuring gap. It’s transmitted with a chromatic beam and spectral selected light source were two optical channels are displaced and polarized by 90 degree to each other. Both optical axles are precise and motor driven shift able in certain angles from 25-65 degree. The spectral light photons, transmission, extinction, absorption grades are detectable by two optical CCD imagine vision devices, integrated into the sensor case on other side of the substrate.

By gauges 10-500 microns, fabric widths up to 10,000mm and web speeds up to 18 m/s.
Optical properties and quality control
Material specific wavelength selection 1,200-1,800 nm, material specific finger prints, molecular spectral properties, transmission, optical angle scanning, ultra low level stray scatter light detection, polarization, slot diaphragms, transverse displacements control the light beams along and far from the optical X and Y axes. The results are extreme scattering, diffraction, NIR, IR, stray light photons generation into the layer areas at both sides of the moving substrate. Their reflected and transmitted light intensities enables the determination by defined formulas and data matrixes the surface tension values in ranges from 28-62mN/m or dynes which are direct associate and bond to real static values for statistical quality control SQC. And this entirely independent of the material specific influences as like surface consistency, thickness, density, weight, opacity, coherence, filling, stretching, shrinkage, structure, co-extrusion, polar grouping, temperature, intrinsic motivation or viscosity, hydrophobia, hydrophilic molecules, hydrogen, moisture, water steam proof, bi-layer, polymer, patterning, nanostructure, irradiation, isotopic, catalyst, coherence, absorption, photo mask effect, radiation, resonance bands, Raman, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis ASTM or ATR method, property, acoustic photonic liquid effects, pre material treatment as corona, plasma jet, flam treatment.
The former patent application DE19542289 A1 concerns a method and device for optical dynamic, i.e. a non-contact, in-line surface-tension / surface-energy measurement for running substrates whereby the detection can be in the transverse-direction or in the running-direction of the web. In the context of this invention, running substrates or moved web material is to be especially understood as being plastic films like PE, PP, LDPE, HDPE, BOPP, LLDPE, EVOH, PTFE, PET, PS, PMMA, PBMA, PVC, PA and also laminated or coated film or paper webs which still show a measurable optical transmission in the wavelength range of 1,200 to 2,200 nm.
A higher material wetting capacity, respectively, a higher material adhesion capacity, which can be achieved by increasing the surface tension, is demanded in many application cases for better printability, coatability or adherence capacity during the manufacture, finishing, printing and processing of running substrate webs. Described is a method and device for optical dynamic in-line surface-tension measurement in ranges from 30 dyne up to 60 dyne in which a substrate web running vertically through a measuring gap is subjected to a chromatic light transmission from two optical channels displaced by 90° to each other. This light transmission is detectable by two optical detection systems located on the other side of the web.
Material specific wavelength selection, light transmission angle changes,
polarisation slot diaphragms and transverse displacements of the light beam
feeder along the optical X-axis result in extreme scattering and diffraction of
the IR light photons in the boundary layer area on both sides of the sub-nano
layer within the substrate web. Their transmitted light intensity enables, after
detection and evaluation, the determination of a direct relationship to the
absolute surface tension.
And this entirely independent of the material-specific influences like: material
and surface consistency, crystallinity, thickness, density, structure, polar
grouping, temperature and type of pre-treatment.
Outlook
Non-contact, realtime and in-line operation surface-tension
or surface-energy dyne, measuring systems for running webs as like plastic
films in general, coatings, laminates etc. does not exist world-wide.
Due to the broad application field of surface-treated
or surface-non-treated webs of plastic film, non-woven fabric, laminates or
coated paper, there is unimaginable market potential here in respect of the
in-line process measuring of the surface tension dyne and an inline control
of the dyne treatment level and moderate quality control.
Various companies from the abroad are serious interested in project cooperation, system development, prototyping and test, manufacturing and world wide sales, system purchasing and license in respect of the ODSTM-1 Process Measuring System.

CONCLUSION
Described is a
method and device for opto-dynamic in-line surface-tension measurement in which
a substrate web running vertically through a measuring gap is subjected to a
chromatic light transmission from two opto-channels displaced by 90° to each
other. This light transmission is detectable by two optical detection systems

Material-specific wavelength selection, light transmission angle
changes, polarisation slot diaphragms and transverse displacements of the light
beam feeder along the optical X-axis result in extreme scattering and
diffraction of the IR light photons in the boundary layer area on both sides of
the sub-nano layer within the substrate web. Their transmitted light intensity
enables, after detection and evaluation, the determination of a direct
relationship to the absolute surface tension.
And this entirely independent of the material-specific
influences like: material and surface consistency, crystallinity, thickness,
density, structure, polar grouping, temperature and type of
pre-treatment.
