What causes static electricity? Static charges or static electricity primarily arise from the friction and separation of poorly conducting materials, also known as non-conductors or insulators. Static charges are invisible but can be measured using an electrostatic field meter (see the section on “Static measurement”). Modern industries today often use “active ionization” as a professional and controlled method to remove static electricity.
Active removal of static electricity is performed using our Simco ionization equipment / ionizing equipment, which produces positive and negative ions to neutralize static electricity 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.
Simco-Ion Europe has developed and produced this ionization equipment for more than 60 years. In Simco-Ion’s product range, one finds several products designed to eliminate static electricity such as:
ion bars (AC and DC), ion nozzles, ion guns, ion blowers, ion air knives, and ion tubes. Whether you aim to remove static electricity in a specific process or protect operators from static electricity, our team is ready to assist. Explore our product range below.
