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.
In printing machines, when rolled plastic film is started to be unwrapped, machine begins to be charged with static and with the fractions of film on the rollers are added, occurance of high static charges on the film can be seen.
It should be considered that static charge on the surface can cause film to slide left or right on line, static electric attracted dust particles to stick on surface, decrease the quality of printing,operator to be electrically shocked,machine?s electronic hardware to be harmed and most importantly paint to catch fire and explode in which static charge shocks are near the printing zone.
PULSElectronic Anti static bars will ensure film to reach printing cylinders clean and purified from static electric, if they are applied on the untying unit?s output bidirectionally as seen in the picture.Two anti static bars which is placed on wrapping unit?s input will prevent problems that occurs in input region because of static charge.
As the sheet exits the extruder head, it will start to generate a static charge as it cools. This is caused as the molecules rub against each other. As the charge increases, the electro-magnetic field will increase attracting airborne contamination onto the product.
The electro-magnetic field can also be absorbed into the bodies of operators working in close proximity to the extruder. The operator will then discharge (sometimes quite violently) when coming into contact with an earth potential such as a door handle, machine casing and another operator. Although the shock is painful but not life threatening, the involuntary reaction of the shock can be serious when the operator is working in close contact with working or moving machinery.
If you are using a chill roller to aid in the cooling of the product, a generator and charging head can be used to pin the edge of the sheet to the chill roller to prevent web wander.
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.
