Brochure Discharging - 2

Electrostatic energy: once a problem, now a solution. Charging and discharging bodies with static electricity is a phenomenon based on simple laws of physics. As these laws are universally applicable, static electricity is present in every area of industry. Spontaneous and uncontrolled discharges can cause substantial problems, as they impair production processes and thus incur unnecessary costs. Our systems and concepts help you neutralize electrostatic energy or even use it in a targeted manner, thus turning it from a nuisance to a benefit. Some of the industries that use such systems...

Physical basics Tiny differences Electrostatic energy can be traced back to the smallest building blocks of the material world: atoms. These consist of protons in the nucleus and electrons in the cloud. Electrons have a negative charge, protons a positive one. If the number of these two particles is equal, the entire atom is electrically neutral. Charging takes place, for example, when two boundary layers are suddenly separated, if electrons jump from one body to the other. Only contact results in a charge A contact charge always involves two bodies. One of them must form a capacitor, i.e....

Preventing and controlling discharges Some conditions are highly conducive to uncontrolled discharge. Products with low moisture or rooms with low humidity, materials that can be charged electrostatically (because they have high insulation performance) and a high contact coefficient ensure that frequent and strong charges can take place. Slippage on webs, dielectric fluids at pipe bends or friction at smooth surfaces are additional factors that are conducive to electrostatic energy – and, quite likely, trigger uncontrolled discharges. Provoking discharge To prevent problems, a controlled...

Electrostatic energy in a double role For electrostatic charging, in addition to the material and its insulation value, the critical factor is how quickly the materials are moved. The higher the speed, the stronger the electrostatic charges will be. In most production processes, the objective is to manage the greatest possible quantities of material at the highest possible speed. Electrostatically clinging materials and uncontrolled discharges are thus inevitable. As described above, unless the charge is controlled and eliminated, its spontaneous, uncontrolled discharge can lead to faults,...
