A shockless anti-static bar with airknife combine the effects of air amplification and ionisation to produce a high-velocity “sheet” of ionised air (amplification ratio as high as 25:1). This combined effect can be used for static neutralising and dust removal in a single operation, for instance in the automotive finishing, printing, packaging, plastics and textile industries. The airknife is very compact and does not have any moving parts.

SIMCO anti-static bars generate an electrical field which causes the air molecules in the vicinity of the bar to break down into positive and negative ions. Because opposite charges attract, any charged material passing near the bar will attract ions until the charge on the material is neutralized. The materials will no longer be attracted to each other or to the machine parts. Attraction of dust, explosion or fire hazards and electrical shocks to personnel caused by static discharge are avoided. SIMCO offers a very wide range of antistatic bars in shockless and non-shockless versions. The anti-static bars consist of a series of ionizing emitter points powered by a remote high voltage power unit.
SIMCO anti-static bars are also available for applications requiring long range neutralization. These anti-static bars are shockless; each point is coupled capacitively to the high voltage.

SIMCO Chargemaster systems are excellently suited for temporarily bonding materials; adhesion between the material surfaces is brought aboutby generating an electrostatic charge. As a result, production processes can often be simplified and accelerated. A system consists of a DC highvoltage generator and one or several charging electrodes. The generator generates the high voltage for the high voltage points in the electrodes. The high voltage points produce ions to charge the materials, which then adhere to each other or to other surfaces electrostatically. Highfrequency switching technology is used in the generators. This technology ensures a consistent output voltage at a preset value, until overloading. The generators are electronically current limited and protected from spark-over. Features of the modern design include the control panel, which has membrane switches and rotates through 180°.
