Static charges on corona treater

Problem

On blown film lines, very high levels of static charges are generated after corona treatment. These charges

can easily attract dust, dirt and contaminants from machine frames, floor and air onto the web. If not

eliminated, these static charges can result in uncomfortable shocks to the operator with a risk of spark / fire

hazard.

Solution

To overcome the problem, we recommend installing Valstat® VR 20 AC static eliminating bars as soon as the

web leaves the corona treater as shown in the above diagram.
