Introduction
Tekna Plasma Systems Inc. is the world leader in induction plasma technology. With sales in Europe, Asia and North America, Tekna specializes in the design, development and construction of integrated plasma systems for a wide range of laboratory research and industrial-scale materials processing and surface treatment applications.
Tekna’s induction plasma technology is state of the art. It allows the generation of plasmas using a wide range of gases under different operating conditions. Its innovative technology offers the necessary means for the development of new materials and powder treatments, as it handles oxidizing and reducing atmospheres without contamination problems – something not possible with alternate conventional plasma sources.
The company offers turn-key plasma systems which can be tailored to specific customer needs. Its core technology in induction plasma is the result of more than three decades of research and combines the latest research advances with modern industrial technologies such as process simulation and control, automation, robotics, continuous data acquisition systems and environmentally-friendly economic plasma gas recycling.
Tekna offers its clients a modern 4000 m2 process demonstration facility for induction plasma powder treatment, powder spheroidization, nanopowder synthesis and thermal plasma spraying. Its installations are available to evaluate the viability of the technology for specific applications. Over the past few years Tekna has also started its own advanced powder manufacturing facilities. Tekna offers a complete line of spherical tungsten carbide powders of different particle sizes of polycrystalline and mono WC. Tekna also offers customer oriented tolling facilities for speciality powder synthesis and processing.
