Protection against electrostatic charge
The brushes have a large number of highly conductive fibres. The fine tips of the fibres concentrate the electric field of the static charge and ionize the air. This ionized air provides ions of the opposite polarity to neutralize the static charge and allow it to flow to earth through the brush body. The tips of the fibres do not need to touch the material to be neutralized, normally they are positioned 2–3 mm from it. If they are allowed to touch the material, there could be an improvement in per- formance because. The Static Discharger body must be connected to an earth/ ground. Passiv electrostatic can be used as a pre-ionization only.
Applications:
KIST + ESCHERICH antistatic brushes are used on wrapping machines, gravure and flexo printing machines, coaters, laminators, labelling and coding machines, ink-jet printers, print finishing, digital printing, sleeving machines, charge application systems and countless other processes.
