Evaporation devices

Our achievements in the area of thermal evaporation can be represented by the evaporation boats for the deposition of copper, silver and gold at high rates. Electric arc evaporators are mainly applied on batch coaters. We have the capability of producing electric arc evaporators of both planar configuration devices with target length up to 1.150 mm and tubular form with target length up to 4.0 m (U-shaped) and up to 1.6 m (linear).

We deliver the electric arc evaporators together with power supplies, ignition devices and control systems for cathode spot travel along the target.

To maximize evaporation material yield we developed a special purpose vapor generator for evaporating Zn and Mg for anticorrosion coating of steel strips.

Having created our own design criteria, we can also equip and modify existing vacuum deposition systems.
