ROPLASS is a Czech manufacturer of DCSBD atmospheric-pressure plasma systems for industrial surface treatment, supplying roll-to-roll, inline and laboratory plasma units to the automotive, nonwovens, films, glass, printed-electronics and plasma-agriculture industries across Europe.
Founded in 2011 by Prof. Mirko Černák as a spin-off of Masaryk University, ROPLASS commercialises DCSBD plasma technology originally developed at the CEPLANT R&D Centre for Low-cost Plasma and Nanotechnology Surface Modifications — a technology base backed by more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and used by research and academic institutions across Europe.
ROPLASS designs and manufactures DCSBD atmospheric-pressure plasma sources and integrated systems that solve surface-adhesion, wettability, cleaning and functionalisation problems on industrial production lines. Customers include tier-1 automotive suppliers, nonwoven and film converters, glass processors and printed-electronics manufacturers across the EU, as well as research institutes and universities using ROPLASS units for applied surface-chemistry work.
The flagship among ROPLASS products is the RPS400, which is manufactured in four variations: small handheld device RPS40, full-featured plasma system RPS400, plasma system for roll-to-roll applications with curved DCSBD units and large area array with 25 RPS400 units.
