Fraser eliminates static electricity in textiles

Fraser Anti-Static Techniques

Static eliminator bars

Fraser Anti-Static Techniques has found that, depending on the problem, both short- and long-range solutions may need to be employed to tackle static electricity in the textile industry.

Static electricity causes severe problems in many areas of the textile industry, from ballooning and yarn breaks during the warping process to unpleasant operator shocks during carding and inspection.

For a short-range solution, where space allows for a static eliminator bar to be positioned close to the material or yarn, the 1250S would be a suitable product.

In some cases, however, the movement of the equipment or product does not allow for close positioning and a long-range solution such as the Ionstorm bar would be recommended to neutralise the static charges from a distance of approximately 500mm.

In an industry where a single broken yarn can cause long periods of downtime it is important to control static to ensure maximum output.

The result of correctly positioned static eliminator bars is a smoother running factory and a shock-free workforce.
