FAQ

It accumulates when electrons transfer from one object to another, creating an imbalance between positive and negative charges.

Electric shocks to operators, dust attraction, damage to electronic components, jams.

Generally not for humans (it may only cause discomfort), but it can be dangerous in flammable environments or for sensitive electronic equipment.

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

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 opposite polarity generated by the bar.

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

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

Eliminating electrostatic charges provides a number of advantages, including reduction of dust attraction, prevention of electric shocks to operators (thus increasing their safety), improvement of final product quality (fewer defects), increased productivity (fewer machine stops due to jams caused by static charges).

Electrostatic charges can be generated in a controlled manner to create temporary adhesion between two materials. This makes it possible to avoid using adhesive materials (glues, tapes) and to automate certain processes.
