piezobrush® PZ3 - Effective plasma handheld device for manual use
Piezobrush® PZ3 has been designed as a compact plasma handheld device for use in laboratories, predevelopment and assembly of small series. With a maximum power consumption of 18 W, the Piezoelectric Direct Discharge (PDD®) technology is used to generate cold active plasma at a temperature of less than 50°C. The heart of this portable plasma device is the TDK piezo plasma generator CeraPlas™ – a high-voltage discharge device for generating cold atmospheric-pressure plasma. Plasma is used to increase the surface energy of many materials with high efficiency, as well as to reduce germs and odors.

Modules
Different surfaces have to be activated with the appropriate accessories to achieve an ideal result. Currently two different modules are available for the piezobrush® PZ3 plasma handheld device. The PDD technology used to generate the cold plasma in piezobrush® PZ3 is based on the discharge of high electric fields. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of the component to be treated is of decisive importance when choosing the modules.
Display
For process control of plasma treatment, the piezobrush® PZ3 is equipped with various features that can be selected and modified via the display.
Process control
◊ Stopwatch: For monitoring the treatment time
◊ Countdown: Time setting with automatic switch-off function
◊ Metronome: Acoustic feedback after defined treatment time
Power adjustment: Reduction of plasma power in several increments
