    FAQ

    What is static electricity?

    It is an accumulation of electrical charges on a surface, often caused by friction between two different materials.

    Why does static electricity build up?

    Why does static electricity build up?
    It builds up when electrons are transferred from one object to another, creating an imbalance between positive and negative charges.

    What are the common effects of static electricity?

    Electric shocks to operators, dust attraction, damage to electronic components, and jamming.

    Is static electricity dangerous?

    Generally no for humans (it may only cause discomfort), but it can be dangerous in flammable environments or for sensitive electronic equipment.

    Where does it occur most frequently?

    In dry environments, during winter, or in places with synthetic materials (e.g., carpeting, plastic, etc.).

    How does an antistatic bar work?

    The antistatic bar is equipped with high-voltage emitters that ionize the surrounding air, producing positive and negative ions. When an object has an electrostatic charge (positive or negative), it attracts ions of the opposite polarity generated by the bar.

    Where should an antistatic bar be installed?

    The antistatic bar, like all devices for eliminating electrostatic charges, must be installed just before the problem occurs. This is because if it is installed too far upstream, the material will have time to recharge, thus making the installation ineffective.

    In which applications can electrostatic charges be eliminated?

    Electrostatic charges can be found in many industrial environments, including plastic production and processing (extrusion, injection, flexible packaging, converting), the textile sector, the printing industry, electronic assembly, labeling, and the wood industry.

    What are the advantages of installing an antistatic bar?

    Eliminating electrostatic charges brings a series of advantages, including reduced dust attraction, prevention of electric shocks to operators (thus increasing safety), improved final product quality (fewer defects), and increased productivity (fewer machine downtimes due to static-induced jams).

    For what purpose should I install an electrostatic charging bar?

    Electrostatic charges can be generated in a controlled manner to create temporary adhesion between two materials. In this way, the use of adhesive materials (glues, tapes) can be avoided and certain processes can be automated.
