Static Eliminator
Static electricity is generated when an electrical imbalance on a material surface comes into contact with another material. A common result is static “cling” from the build up of electrical charge from the materials’ interaction. Paper, film, plastic, and synthetic materials are prone to static electricity which may cause plugging in pneumatic conveying lines.
Grounding wires will direct a static charge safely away from the outside of a duct line but have little impact on the continual build up of static on the inside of the duct. Coating the inside of the duct with a non-stick polymer may reduce the amount of friction but does not eliminate it. Over time the coating may wear off exposing the line to static “cling” once more.
By contrast, a static eliminator produces an energy field that neutralizes the static charge and allows the material to flow freely through the conveying lines.
In addition, by reducing or eliminating static, you reduce the potential for a fire. The spark created from static can ignite material and dust resulting catastrophic damage.
Static eliminators aid in reducing hazards in and to your pneumatic conveying systems. Available to fit all duct diameters as a new installation or retrofit to existing systems, it’s your solution to “de-clinging” your pneumatic conveying duct line.
Take the static out of your pneumatic conveying system!
