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.
