In bag production for forming handle part of bags, handle part is generated with a cutting knife system before cutting process. During this process air can enter in plastic which will cause incorrect cutting. This will lead to lossy and incorrect production.

For preventing this production problem, charging bar should be placed before cutting knife which has opposite charges.Thus, entrance of air and sticking of plastic that will be cut is avoided and a reliable production is provided.

When reinforcing the handles on plastic bags, a further sleeve is added for strength. This sleeve can repel from it set position due to static charges on ether the bag or the sleeve itself. This causes misalignment, wastage, down time and rejects.

After the sleeve has been positioned, you can induce a charge into the material using a PULSElectronic charging system. This will hold the sleeve while the thermo weld is completed and prevent wastage thus increasing productivity.

On any un-wind operation, as the web is pulled from the roll, you have material separation. As the surfaces separate, electrons from each surface will migrate from one surface to another. As the surface of the material is non-conductive, it cannot flow back and a static charge is now on the web. This charge will create an electro-magnetic field which in turn attracts airborne contamination onto the web causing rejects and wastage.

Another area of concern is the electro-magnetic field can be absorbed into the bodies of operators who work in close proximity. The operator will then discharge when coming into contact with an earth potential such as. Machine casing. Door handle or another operator. Although painful, the charge is in most cases not dangerous. The resulting involuntary reaction of the shock however, is dangerous when working close to moving machinery.

During the wind-up operation, any static charges on the web will cause the material to repel and not roll correctly and leave a record edge finish. This again can cause loss of product, waste and down time. The problem of operators absorbıng charges ınto theır bodıes ıs also prevalent here.

On both un-wind and re-wind the application is the same. By neutralising the charge on the roll you will remove all the possibility of material misbehaviour, dust contamination and operator shocks.

PULSElectronic pulse DC bars can be mounted to ionise the nıp of the roll. This will eliminate the charge on both sides of the web.

If you are unable to position a bar in that configuration, an ıonısıng blower can be mounted to bathe the reel in ıonısed air, which will neutralise the charge.

After the manufacturing cycle of a flat bag making machine, the bag will have built up large static charges from the un-wind. Friction of rollers and the heat from the thermo welding. Although highly charged, the bags are under tension and do not cause the manufacturer problems. When the bags are cut, the static charge then will cause the material to attract to an earth potential such as rollers. Machine casing etc. This is also a problem when trying to stack the bags. As the bags are manufactured from the same material and have been through the identical manufacturing process, they will hold the same charge. This will cause the bags to repel from one another and not stack correctly.

By positioning two PULSElectronic ionısıng bars (one ether side of the web) across the material prior to cutting, you will neutralise the charge and the bags will then stack correctly, reducing wastage. Down time and increasing productivity.

When magazines are printed they are conveyed and stacked on top of each other. This can cause major down time when rotating the stack as the magazines fall off.

By positioning a PULSElectronic charge system either side of the stack (positive one side, negative the other) you can induce a charge in to the stack and hold the stack in place for packing, rotating and binding.

In packaging machines while rolled film is unwrapped, static charge occurs because of decomposition. This static charge causes film to stick to the metal parts or itself so leads to incorrect and lossy production.

For preventing this situation, anti-static bar should be placed on sections in which roll is opened and packaging begins for neutralizing static charge. Machine will execute more reliable and efficient packaging in these conditions.

Labels can be misaligned or repelled from charged bottles due to large static charges which are generated as the bottles move through conveyor systems. The bottles encounter high levels of friction which charge them. When the bottles are posıtıoned to have the label fitted, the static charge on the bottle, as well as the charge on the label (generated as the backing tape is removed) can cause the labels to repel from the bottles. This causes waste, rejects and down time.

By positioning either a PULSElectronic blower or bar to the conveyor prior to the label application, you can bathe the bottles in ionised air and eliminate the possibility of rejects, improving quality, productivity and profits.

As the parısons are extruded from the machıne they wıll start to cool. As they cool, the molecules inside the polymer wıll rub against each other and a static charge wıll be generated. As the charge ıncrease, the parısons wıll start to repel from each other as they wıll all have the same charge due to identical manufacturing process and material make up. This wıll cause damage to the part.

By positioning a PULSElectronıc ionısıng bar across the parısons, you wıll neutralise the charge as the parts cool. This wıll prevent damage to the parısons, reduce waste and down time while increasing productivity and profits.

During ın-mold labelling applications, the label can be attracted or repelled from the surface of the mould dependant on what charge is on either surface. The robot arm wıll pick the label and position the label.

If the label is the same polarity as the surface of the mould, the label wıll be repelled from the mould and rejected. If the label is of the same polarity, the label can be attracted from the robot arm and misaligned.

By neutralising the mould prıor to the label being applied you wıll have a neutral surface to position your label onto. Then using a PULSElectronıc generator and charging head (fitted to the robot arm) you can use the static charge to stick the label into position.

On automated sleevıng machines, the problems arise as the sleeve is opened for fitting to the bottle. As the sleeve ıs opened, the two surfaces are separated and electrons migrate from one surface to another. As the material is Non conductive, it cannot re-address the imbalance and retains the static charge.

The charged labels will now become attracted to an earth potential or a charge of the opposite polarity. If the bottle the label is being fitted to is of the same polarity, the label will repel and jam causing waste and rejects. If the bottle is of the opposite polarity, the label will be attracted to bottle too quickly and the syncronısatıon will be out, causing jams, down time and waste.

By neutralising the bottles prıor to the label being fitted, you wıll elımınate the chance of material mısbehavıor and miss aligning. This wıll reduce waste and rejects and ıncrease volume, productivity and profits.
