Antistatic equipment is used to neutralize static electricity in industrial processes where static charges can disrupt production, attract dust, or damage sensitive materials. By implementing the right antistatic equipment, companies can achieve more stable and efficient operations, reduce downtime, and improve product quality. Simco-Ion’s solutions are designed to eliminate or control static in a wide range of applications, including plastics, packaging, printing, and other manufacturing environments.
Static electricity occurs when non-conductive materials such as plastic or paper are rubbed against each other, especially in dry environments. This can lead to sparks, electric shocks, and dust attraction. Static electricity can cause serious issues in many manufacturing processes involving materials such as plastic, paper, wood, and textiles. These problems are particularly prevalent in the winter months when the outside humidity is low, and the indoor air is dry. In industries where printing or coating/laminating is involved, static electricity must be removed for safety and quality reasons. Therefore, static control is crucial for production processes dealing with insulated (non-conductive) materials.
There are many well-known issues caused by static electricity in manufacturing, such as sparks in machinery, shocks to operators, difficulties in processing materials, disrupted material flow, attraction of dust, and the potential for fire in machines. To address these challenges, modern industries turn to active ionization as the preferred solution for removing static electricity in a professional and controlled manner. Explore our product range from Simco-Ion and learn more about our solutions below.
The active removal of static electricity is conducted with antistatic equipment that produces positive and negative ions to neutralize static charges on a given product. If the product is negatively charged, it will attract positive ions, and if it is positively charged, it will attract negative ions. With over 60 years of experience in the development and production of ionization equipment, Simco-Ion Europe offers a wide range of antistatic products including: ionizing bars (AC and DC), optimize cleaning and remove static electricity with ion nozzles, and our efficient ion guns. We also offer other antistatic solutions to improve product quality and employee safety with ion blowers. Additionally, we provide products like ion air knives and our efficient in-line ionizers. Whether you aim to eliminate static electricity in a specific process or protect operators from static electricity, our team is ready to assist.
