Electrostatic discharge - smooth production

Electrostatics disturb almost all production processes. Eltex systems prevent uncontrolled discharges and integrate electrostatics precisely into your processes. In our electrostatic discharge product portfolio, you will discover systems and products for many industrial sectors.

Ionization achieves range

Get to know, for example, our discharge electrodes flexION air with free-standing, air-assisted spring tip: They provide the best possible ionization for more efficient electrostatic discharge in all industries and ESD areas.

Products for electrostatic cleaning

Eltex ion blowers can be used flexibly as pistols, nozzles or nozzle bars. Thanks to the ion blower technology and highly sensitive components, you can achieve higher ionization performance and the greatest possible range in electrostatic cleaning.

Discharging

Do I need a bar or a blowing head?
Discharging bars are used whenever wide objects or webs – no matter if they are static or moving – need to be discharged.
Ion blower heads are used to discharge smaller surfaces with ionized air and clean off particles sticking to the surface by static. Another application of the Ion blower heads is to blow ionized air into stacks of film or paper to ensure that the sheets are fanned and lifted separately (i.e. sheetfed offset).
When do I need an air-supported discharging bar?
Air-supported discharging bars should always be used when the surface is to be cleaned with ionized air.
Air-supported discharging bars can also be used if technical conditions are such that the discharging bar cannot be installed in the best possible way in relation to the object to be discharged.
What does Eltex mean by active length, total length and installation length?
The active length of a bar is always measured between the first and the last emission tip of the bar.
The total length is the active length plus the insulation distances beginning from the first/the last emission tip to the beginning of the bar/the end of the bar. For the charging bar R130 (30 kV), this is 70 mm, for instance.
The installation length is the total length of the bar, the length of the cable connection and the bending radius of the cable.
When do I need discharging?
Discharging is used whenever materials are charged with static during a process which results in disruptions during production or in contamination of personnel by uncontrolled discharges.
