The winding package is in constant contact with support rollers. The support rollers rotate the winding package to create winding action. During the winding, owing to contact and separation from rollers and changes in temperature, very high static charges are generated. This will invite risk of spark / fire, shocks to operator and dust attraction. Hence static charges need to be eliminated completely from the film before it is rewound. Solution Valstat ® VR 80 DC bar can be used to eliminate the effect of static charges on the film as shown in the figure above. The Valstat ® VR 80 DC bar can be used effectively in the working range up to 600 mm and with line speeds up to 1000 m /min.

Static charges on surface rewinder Problem On a surface rewinder, the core initially rests on the support rollers which rotate in order to wind the film. The

winding package is in constant contact with support rollers. The support rollers rotate the winding package to

create winding action.

During the winding, owing to contact and separation from rollers and changes in temperature, very high static

charges are generated. This will invite risk of spark / fire, shocks to operator and dust attraction. Hence static

charges need to be eliminated completely from the film before it is rewound.

Solution

Valstat®

VR 80 DC bar can be used to eliminate the effect of static charges on the film as shown in the figure

above. The Valstat®

VR 80 DC bar can be used effectively in the working range up to 600 mm and with line

speeds up to 1000 m /min.
