Blown film extrusion is used to manufacture packaging films. Many of these films are
Produced in multiple layers to achieve the mechanical, thermal, and transport properties required by
The height of the "bubble" on the blown film line is required by the food or medical industries.
required to cool the material before it is folded flat at the top. Static
You can detect static charges by approaching one of the coils or by seeing sparks.
You can see the discharge effect when the layers merge.
These charges occur because, after the material has passed the flattening (upper rollers) on the blown film line, static charges build up due to friction as it passes through several rollers and temperature fluctuations occur (cooling).
During corona pretreatment, a massive static charge is generated in the material. The use of a discharge system is recommended at this point.
Wide-range ionization bars can be installed on the winders to ionize the material during the winding process.
To neutralize the wrapping. By applying the ThunderION 2.0 IQ discharge bar This ensures that all material, from small-diameter to large-diameter rollers, is neutralized. This prevents dust attraction, telescoping of the end roller, and unpleasant static shocks for the operator.
When winding up double or multi-layered material (hose material), a static discharge is possible.
This is essential to be able to open the material after unwinding. In some cases, pre-discharge with antistatic rods is necessary even before winding to achieve a low static charge on the end roll. Contamination of the ionization rods by environmental particles at these points is a critical issue; therefore, the efficiency can be affected. IQ Manager are constantly monitored.
If the efficiency falls below a predefined static value, the operator / PLC receives a warning about the upcoming maintenance of the ionization bars.
The IQ Manager It can be connected directly to the PLC of the blown film machine via a fieldbus connection.
In this way, the IQ Manager provides all essential information about the
Efficiency and the required maintenance of the rods, as well as the issue of static charge, all contribute to higher-quality and more competitive blown film production and a reduction in downtime and potential workplace accidents caused by static discharges.
