As industry leader in the field of vacuum metallizing, BOBST has applied this experience to a project intended to give people a unique insight into what happens inside of a vacuum metallizer. The result of this is the animated video “BOBST General K5000: Two processes, one machine,” which provides something a simple video cannot - a glimpse into the heart of the machine.
The animation provides a 360-degree view of the machine and demonstrates how easily the General K5000 metallizer can be used for two processes without compromise; for coating both aluminum and aluminum oxide (AlOx) on to a wide range of substrates with high productivity. In addition to the robust BOBST Aluminum evaporation source, production can be switched simply at the touch of a button to AlOx deposition for high barrier transparent films.
The General K5000 is specifically designed for the high output film manufacturers end market. It metallizes at speeds up to 1’000 meters/min utilizing diameter rolls up to 1,200mm and widths of up to 4,850mm.
