Static Control
Static control products and equipment protect sensitive objects from the damaging effects of static electricity. Sprays, wipes, mats, bags, and gloves specially designed to prevent and reduce the effects of static electricity provide effective static control.
Many products, such as computer equipment, electronics, medical equipment, and telecommunications equipment, are very sensitive to static electricity. Several problems can result from static, including dust clinging to products, products clinging to themselves or other objects, materials tearing, jamming or curling, sheet-feeding problems, and hazardous sparks. Static electricity can also hamper performance or shorten the life of a product. As a result, effective static control is a necessary step to take in order to ensure that products and equipment continue working correctly.
Static control protects against many problems associated with static electricity. Static control products reduce production downtime, aid in the avoidance of maintenance costs associated with machinery failure, and increase product effectiveness and company profits. Nuclear static control solutions include various devices, such as nuclear air guns and nuclear bars. Electrical static control solutions can be obtained through the use of electrical power packs and electrical bars. Other types of industrial static control products include tinsel, brushes, air knives, sheet and web cleaners, chemicals, copper mesh, and many more.
