Electrostatic discharge of paper during winding and rewinding
Application: winding machines, rewinder, foil production equipment, foil finishing equipment
Initial situation
Electrostatic charges arise when winding, unwinding or rewinding foils or other materials with high surface resistivity. The level of these charges depends on factors such as belt speed, humidity and the material of the roller surfaces. Undesirable consequences can be over-sparking, dust attraction on the surface or problems with further processing of the materials.
Solution
In order to remove electrostatic charges from thin material surfaces without compressed air support over longer distances or at high transport speeds free of streaks and as required, SMART ION ionization bars are used for working distances between 100 mm and 1500 mm or for transport speeds of up to 1300 m/min.
