Static charges on center-cum-surface rewinder Problem

In a center-cum-surface rewinder, static charge levels can be extremely high. Depending on the substrate

being processed and the ambient conditions, surface voltages have been observed to be more than ±100 kV.

The other challenge is in locating the static charge eliminator for effective removal of the static charges of the

web on the rewinder.

Solution

Valstat® VR 80 DC long range static eliminating bars are ideally suited for this application. These bars can

be installed in a location that does not hamper web handling, as shown in diagram above. Static charges are brought down to near zero levels, even if the static eliminating bar is 400 mm away from the target.
