Static Electricity Removal in Laundry Folding Machines
Hazards of Static Electricity: Laundry folding machines are used to process items such as sheets, towels, and tablecloths. Currently, these items are typically made of synthetic fibers, and a large amount of static electricity is generated when they are conveyed through narrow conveyor systems and folding stations. Under the influence of static electricity, these items will adhere to the conveyor belt. As a result, they cannot reach the folding station and subsequently either automatically pop off the machine or become tangled near the rollers. Replacing the standard canvas conveyor belt with a conductive conveyor belt does not solve the problem.
Solution: An ion bar should be installed before the first folding station, as shown in the diagram. It should be noted that the upper conveyor belt should be a canvas conveyor belt, not a conductive one. This is not only a more economical choice but also improves performance. The lower conveyor belt can be either a canvas conveyor belt or a conductive conveyor belt.
