Vortex cooling ensures lower humidity inside the control cabinet.

CASE STUDY: CUSTOMER SPECIFICATION/CHALLENGE A manufacturer buys large "blocks" of foam tape with a self-adhesive backing and cuts them into narrower strips to meet customer requirements. A water-based mist is used as a lubricant for the cutting machines. Fans were installed in the cutting machine controls to keep the electronics cool. During the summer months, the fans drew excessive heat.

Electrostatics in Practice: Vibrating spiral conveyors with feeding problems

Vibratory bowl feeders are used to feed individual components/parts for assembly in industrial production lines. They are used when a randomly sorted bulk package of small components needs to be oriented and separated before being fed into another machine. These feeders come in many shapes and sizes and can be used in the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, electronics, and packaging industries. Electrostatic

How do you deal with static electricity in digital (UV) flatbed printers?

Digital flatbed UV printers can print in high quality on a wide variety of materials such as photo paper, film, fabric, plastic, PVC, acrylic, glass, ceramic, metal, wood, or leather. These printers can use special UV-curing inks that are exposed to UV light to cure. A new Cleanflex easy 24V antistatic ion spray gun can be used to remove electrostatic charges from the material before printing.

Compressed air case study: Increasing production and quality in cutting paper products

CASE STUDY: CUSTOMER SPECIFICATIONS A North Carolina-based company transforms large paper rolls into usable paper products, including paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper. They are strongly committed to an environmentally friendly business policy, designing everything from pallet configuration to product packaging to minimize waste and working with specialized paper suppliers to reduce toxins. THE CHALLENGE The process of transforming mother rolls

Electrostatics: Static electricity causes problems with digital inkjet printing

Digital printing is becoming increasingly popular these days. However, static electricity can cause many problems during the printing process, especially with digital inkjet printing, such as printing errors. Problems that can occur include dust attraction, poor (blurry, fuzzy) print results, or dirty printheads (resulting in shorter production runs). Machine stoppages can even occur. All of this leads to higher costs and therefore reduced competitiveness. Manufacturers,

Full control of electrostatics on flexographic printing presses

Flexographic printing lines were developed to produce flexible packaging in a wide variety of colors and finishes at high speeds. You can recognize static charges by approaching a stack or roll, or by seeing sparks as a discharge effect. Static charges can cause problems at numerous stages of the flexographic printing process.

How to avoid electric shocks from static electricity

WHAT IS STATIC ELECTRICITY? Static electricity is an electric charge that does not move. Static electricity is created when two or more surfaces come into contact and then separate. Static electricity can cause problems in many production processes that use non-conductive materials such as plastic, paper, wood, and textiles. One problem that is frequently

Compressed air case study: Fast and frost-free cooling for automotive manufacturers

CASE STUDY: CUSTOMER SPECIFICATIONS A plastics extrusion company manufactures complex co-extrusions for the automotive industry. Co-extrusion is an extrusion process for producing a product consisting of two textures. The materials are extruded through a single die and then fuse together before cooling to form a single part. The advantage of co-extrusion is that each material retains certain characteristic properties, and they
