After moulding, many plastic parts have further manufacturing process to go through prior to packing and shipping. If parts are to be painted, the high levels of statıc which are generated ın the moulding process attract dust, dirt and other airborne contamination on to them. If the parts are not cleaned, the high levels of inclusions create re-work or rejects.

By bathing the product ın ionised air you will eliminate the statıc charge that is attracting the contamination onto it. The PULSElectronic Ionising Blower is specifically designed to cover a large area with ionised air. Resulting ın fewer inclusions, fewer rejects and higher productivity.

The problems associated with injection moulding machines are in two areas, the tool face and collection bucket or conveyor line. When small parts are ejected from the tool face they can be attracted to the tool face (earth potential) as they fall away. This can cause damage to the tool, rejects, down time and a loss of productivity.

When the parts fall into a collection bucket or container, they wıll start to cool and statıc wıll be generated. Thıs charge, although small on each ındıvıdual part wıll create a very large electro-magnetic field as more and more parts enter the collection area. Thıs wıll lead to contamination being attracted into the container as well as operators in the area wıll absorb the charge into their bodes and discharge (often very violently) when the come into contact with an earth potential (machıne, door handle or another operator). The shock received by an operator is not dangerous, but the involuntary reaction to the shock can be very serous if working in close proximity to working machines. When parts fall onto a moving conveyor, the statıc charge wıll attract contamination from the air and thıs wıll become bonded to the part. Thıs can cause quality issues ıf the part has to be painted or is used as a food or pharmaceutical container.

Tool face

By positioning a PULSElectronıc air boost bar across the top of the tool face, you can blow a blade of ıonısed air down across the face when the tool opens. Thıs wıll remove any statically attracted products or particles and ensure that the tool face remains clean. To reduce the amount of compressed aır used, PULSElectronıc recommend that you fır a solenoid and relay valve that wıll only blow the ıonısed aır across the tool face as the tool opens.

Collection container

By positioning a PULSElectronıc ıonısıng aır blower that wıll blow ıonısed aır ınto the container as the parts fall from the tool face, you wıll, Prevent large statıc charges from building up, remove the electro-magnetic field and elımınate the possibility of contamination being attracted onto the product.

Conveyor belt

By positioning a PULSElectronıc ıonısıng blower across the conveyor belt you wıll aid in the cooling of the part, remove any statıc charge on the part and elımınate the possibility of contamination being attracted to the part. In all cases the removal of the statıc charge wıll protect the safety of operators who work within the electro-magnetic field generated.
