Static Electricity: You See It, You Feel It, You Pay For It
Do your products have lives of their own, clinging, repelling, attracting dirt and shocking employees? Static electricity is annoying and dangerous. It can ruin your productivity and quality, damage electronic equipment and—worst of all—cause fire and explosions.
What causes Static Electricity?
Most people associate static electricity with touching a door or water fountain in winter and receiving a shock. While the shock is certainly annoying, it is in itself not dangerous because there is very low amperage. With low humidity, these static voltages can exceed 20,000V.
In industrial applications, static is caused by insulator or non-conductive material rubbing together under some pressure. When the insulator materials are separated, pools of only positive or only negative ions form, and you have static. These pools of ions form not just on man-made materials (plastic, nylon, wax, paper, polyester, and PVC) but also on hair, wool, fur, aluminum, wood, and rubber to name a few.
Applications where AiRTX Static Eliminator Products Removed Static
- A web press operator had to greatly reduce the speed to lower static build-up in the paper. Of course, this is very costly in production rates.
- Stacking aluminum trays with static created by a conveyor belt was almost impossible until the static was minimized using our ionizing bars.
- Painting a car or plastic object was difficult until the static bond of dust was broken to get a clear finish.
- Static caused printing ink to web, resulting in an unacceptable or unreadable job.
- Labels folded or lapped when too much static was present.
- Plastic bottles would jump off a conveyor line until given a water bath to reduce static. Now the water is off and our static bars do the job which saves water and keeps the bottles dry.
- Pulling a sheet of 4' x 8' plastic off a stack was almost impossible because of the static bond between the sheets. Now the sheets slide right off after a spot treatment with our ionizing air gun.
- And what about the workers? Touching a static charged door knob once a day is not like having to get shocked every time you pick up something on a production line. We've eliminated static in many situations where workers were getting shocked regularly. With our Ionizing Air Knives, we create a safe zone up to 20 feet of conditioned, shock free air.
In short, Static and Production Do Not Mix.
