Flash Star™ – A firm grip on static electricity Flash Star™ flat belts play a major role in containing static electricity in power transmission and conveying systems. With excellent conductivity in all three directions, they help to ensure ESD* compliance of the machinery and to prevent unwelcome side effects. If you use power transmission and conveyor belts, it’s impossible to avoid static electricity building up. This phenomenon is called triboelectric charging. It occurs when different materials come into contact with one another and then separate again. During conveying, the products...

Flash Star™ – Conductivity right through the belt too Conductivity right through the belt significantly enhances the controlled discharge of static electricity. Electricity in the belt is discharged directly via electrically conductive components on the machinery (e.g. rollers, supports). Extra mechanical components like metallic idlers, or brushes to discharge the build-up of static electricity aren’t necessary. conductive in all three directions, even through the belt improves discharge, facilitates ESD-compliant machinery design supports the controlled discharge of static electricity...
