Eltex Static Control

Since 1953, Eltex has been developing solutions that utilize the benefits of electrostatics and eliminate the associated, unwanted side effects.

Static Discharging

In many industrial areas, there are charges that cannot be readily discharged using grounding. In this case, systems are used that combine active and passive discharge. Here's how this works: ionized air is used to generate a conductive air cushion made up of particles with positive and negative charges between the bars and the charged surface (such as a fast-running product web). Passive discharging causes high voltage fields to decay, active ion production compensates for residual charges.

Grounding

When handling highly inflammable materials, uncontrolled discharge is a danger that is not to be underestimated. It can cause explosions, deflagrations, fires and secondary accidents due to static. Controlled grounding is a safe and easy measure for protecting people, production facilities and transport machines.

Static Charging

Distinct advantages exist in the areas in which the phenomenon of electrostatic energy does not have to be neutralized but can be used in a beneficial way – with the correct technology. For example, if we charge paper or plastics unevenly, we can bond them to each other electrostatically. Electrostatic adhesion, blocking/ tacking or adhesion has multiple advantages: it leaves no trace whatsoever behind, remains stable during the entire work process and detaches afterwards, either by itself or by targeted discharge.
