What is Static? Essentially, a static charge arises when an external force causes electrons to be stripped from an atom leaving it with an excess of protons and a net positive charge. The electrons ‘attach’ to a recipient atom, which will consequently have an excess of electrons and will be negatively charged. What causes Static? The most common causes are Friction, Pressure and Separation. Examples range from the unwinding of plastic films to the everyday occurrences of shocks from cars and door knobs. Other causes include Induction, whereby an insulator material can become charged if it...

What are the problems? There are at least 5 major areas where uncontrolled static charges are of concern: Product misbehaviour M ost commonly used packaging materials are non-conductive. The friction and separation experienced in the processing of such materials generates static charges that can cause blockages in even the most modern machine design. Loss of productivity and profit can result. Dust attraction N eutral airborne particles are attracted to charged surfaces and charged particles are attracted to neutral surfaces. The resultant problems can lead to high reject rates, high levels...

AC Static Elimination A normal mains 110/240V, 50/60Hz AC supply is increased by a special transformer to typically 7kV AC. This high voltage is carried by a shielded HV cable to the static eliminator, where it is connected to an array AC Ionising Bar Bar casing connected to earth of emitter pins that are stressed by the elevated voltage in proximity to an earthed surface. This creates a high Ionisation at Electrode Point energy "corona" or "ion cloud", in which a very large number of positive and negative ions are generated. As the AC cycle changes, either positive or negative ions Surface...

Testing and Measurement 983v2 Static Locator The Model 983v2 Static Locator provides accurate measurement of static electrical charges. Its design enables fast response, low drift and ease of operation. The wide measurement range of -200kV to +200kV handles all applications. 984v2 Ion Sensor The Meech Model 984v2 Ion Sensor is an easy-to-use device for checking the performance of both AC and DC powered static eliminator bars. Indicator lights confirm the presence of ions and, in the case of a DC power source, their polarity. Test Kit - 983v2 & 984v2 The Meech 983v2 & 984v2 test kit gives...

AC Power Supplies 904 Model 904 is the constant voltage power supplies, designed to provide a 7kV source for Meech AC ionizing equipment. It is adjustable to operate at 100-120V or 200-240V input voltage and is available in either 50Hz or 60Hz versions. 905 Model 905 is the constant voltage power supplies, designed to provide a 5kV source for Meech AC ionizing equipment. It is adjustable to operate at 100-120V or 200-240V input voltage and is available in either 50Hz or 60Hz versions. 904CM The 904CM system monitors the performance of AC ionising bars to allow maintenance to be carried once...

DC Power Supplies 977v3 The Model 977v3 Pulsed DC Controller has been designed to operate with the full industrial range of Meech Pulsed DC static elimination equipment. It is light and compact but able to cope with the most technically demanding industrial applications. In addition to the ability to control power output, frequency and polarity, the 977v3 also offers alarm and remote monitoring and control functionality. 977CM The 977CM – Current Monitoring Pulsed DC Controller, brings together powerful long-range ionisation; closed-loop feedback; self-monitoring and remote reporting. A...

AC Ionising Bars 910 Bar The Model 910 bar incorporates an inductively coupled design that achieves powerful static neutralisation with completely shockproof operation. The design is compact, yet rugged, enough for most industrial applications . 912 Circular Bar The Model 912 range of circular static eliminators is based on the popular Model 910 shockless bar. The inductively coupled design provides powerful static neutralisation and completely shockproof operation. 914 Bar The model 914 AC Ionising Bar shares the same resistive coupling of the 915, whilst similar to the 910 in size. It...
