Bag-making machines are available in various configurations, depending on the type of bag being produced. The machine creates a bag by guiding a roll of plastic film through a series of operations such as (heat) sealing, cutting, and stacking. Typical products include garbage bags, carrier bags, shopping bags, and drawstring bags. Bag-making machines naturally generate a significant amount of static electricity.

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 food or medical industries. The height of the "bubble" in the blown film line is needed to cool the material before it is folded flat at the top. You can detect static charges when you stand near a

Packaging manufacturers can experience fires in their coating areas caused by sparks of high static charge. Operators facing this problem require industrial antistatic solutions. Depending on the distance to the material, different ionization bars may be necessary in each section of the machine. Various types of rollers also require different solutions.,

Do you process plastics in your production? Then this new SIMCO case study from real-world experience will certainly be of interest to you! Due to strong electrostatic charging, plastic threads, plastic-based textiles, or even plastic tubing can repel, attract, or inflate each other during the manufacturing process, and may even adhere to machine parts. This can lead to production bottlenecks and unnecessary errors.
