Static
Problems
Static electric can create kinds of problems
in different industries. They are caused by the
firing fixings of gases, liquids or
powders.These problems can be the reasons of the
fires and explosions in
petrochemistry
,printing, plane and tanker.Also, they cause
electrical shocks for people working in plastic,
paper and packaging industry.But the most
important one is the problem about
hygiene
and rejection
because of the attraction of dust and
contaminants.
There are four
main static problems creating serious and
expensive problems in industry.
High standarts want the products to be faultless
so you must solve these problems to decrease
product dirtiness, rejection, expenses and
increase
hygiene , customer pleasant.
Electrostatic
Attraction
Attraction of dust and contaminants is an
usual problem met during the manufacturing.In
printing, painting, medical products and
pharmacy, particules entering the attraction
field of static electric, cling to surfaces and
cause some problems such as decelerating the
speed of conveyor or increasing rejection.But
health problem is the most serious and important
one.Because the products that attract dust are
used in food industry.This is an unacceptable
condition for both manufacturer and user.
Misbehaviour of the Product
During the carrying, charged materials
cause some problems such as clinging to the
metal surfaces, winding to the system.These
problems make the system slow down
and stop.This is an unacceptable thing for
manufacturer, because of the money and time
loss. Namely, electrostatic attraction (or
repulsion) causes materials to stick to
machinery,
or to each other, resulting in slow machine
speeds, reduced productivity and lower quality.
Safety
Companies attach importance to the
safety protection.So, Static discharges which
give shocks to personel, becomes more important
than before.
They
are not usually dangerous, but are certainly
unpleasant and can cause secondary reactions.
But if the machines operates with explosive
material, this problem can cause fire or
explosion.
Electrostatic
Discharging
This problem is related to the
production tapes used in electronic industry and
production of electronic components.
5V isn’t an important magnitude but it
can cause serious failure of electronic
components.Then, this can create extra
cost and make the system stop for a long time.
