How to remove static electricity from lightweight injection molded parts?
Hazards of static electricity:
Static electricity can cause injection molded parts to cling to the conveyor belt, preventing them from falling into the collection bin.
Eliminating static electricity for lightweight injection molded parts requires consideration of both the material properties and the production environment. The following is a comprehensive solution:
1. Maintaining air humidity at 45%-65% through humidification creates a conductive layer on the plastic surface, effectively neutralizing static electricity. For industrial applications, a wet-film humidifier (such as the Hangjing HJSM-03S) is recommended, as its intelligent control precisely maintains humidity.
Ionizing air equipment: Immediately after injection molding, use an ionizing air blower or ionizing air wand (such as the TG2032 or TG5045) to quickly eliminate surface static electricity and prevent dust absorption.
2. Industrial-grade static eliminator
Install an ionizing air wand above the mold to prevent mold sticking.
Use an ionizing air wand to eliminate the risk of electric shock. You can install a static eliminator above the conveyor belt, using the SL-006C ionizing wand.
