Positioning of the Bar
The best location is at, or immediately before, the area where static is causing the
problem. Remember that static can be regenerated if the material passes over
rollers or through a process after neutralising. A Static Meter such as the Fraser 715
is useful to determine the best position.
Important:
Except on a winding reel of material
(see the examples on the following
page), the material to be neutralised must be in free air, not touching another
surface as it passes the bar. It is not possible to neutralise static electricity where
the material is touching another surface or roller.
MATERIAL
Incorrect location
Static neutralisation will be
very poor if there is not free
air opposite the bar.
FREE AIR
MATERIAL
Good location
Free air opposite
the bar allows good
neutralisation.
