Static Eliminators for Converting

TAKK static eliminators deliver uniform ionized air across slitting, sheeting, unwinding, rewinding, laminating, and coating operations. By neutralizing static charges, they prevent operator shocks and production issues such as jamming, material clinging, and mis-stacks on papers and films used in converting and packaging.

Excess static makes bags stick together or repel when stacked, causing poor alignment, rejected stacks, and lost throughput. Install ionizing bars at the bag entry, on the wickets, and in the stack area to neutralize individual bags and the collated pile for clean, efficient stacking.

Recommended solutions:


Slitting line with ionizing bar positioned before rewind

Slitting

Web separation and roller contact generate static during slitting. As the slit material rewinds, layers can repel each other and degrade roll quality. Placing a static eliminator before rewinding neutralizes the charge, reducing contamination and ensuring tight, even rolls.

Recommended solutions:

Sheeting

High speeds, friction, and material separation create static that pulls sheets toward metal surfaces and makes stacks repel. Position an ionizing bar above and immediately after the sheeter to neutralize charge, improve stacking, and reduce jams and downtime.

Recommended solution:


Ionizing bar targeting a winding roll to prevent dust attraction

Winding

During unwind/rewind, web separation charges the roll and attracts airborne dust—leading to rejects, waste, and operator shocks. Place a static eliminator at the roll surface to neutralize charge and prevent contamination at both unwind and rewind.

Recommended solutions:


Electrostatic pinning of protective sheets on metal or glass

Applying Protective Sheets to Metal/Plastic

Steel, glass, and plastic sheets often require protective liners before packaging. Adhesives and strapping are slow, costly, and can disrupt uniform stacks. Non-contact electrostatic charging “pins” liners quickly and cleanly—no consumables required.
