External powered AC Static Eliminators
AC Industrial static eliminators are powered by means of an external powersupply. The advantage of AC static eliminators are the compact size of the static bar.

Most modern industrial static eliminators are powered by means of a standard M12 cable connector. Usually the 24Vdc power is available in the machine and can easily be routed to power the industrial static bar. The advantage is that there is no need for High-Voltage(HV) cable placement and HV cable routing inside the machine.
This section provides some basic examples of solutions regarding the elimination of static electricity and the use of static electricity in processes.
Static electricity that creates a static charge on a material can build up along the process. Friction between idle rollers and film create a charge that can become severalk kilovolts.
Static charge on a material can build up along the process. Friction between idle rollers and film creates a charge. Each new friction accumulates charge.
Static charge can be used to optimise a process.
Perforations in a web material can be used to determine the position of the material in the machine.
Perforations in products can be detected using high voltage to create a spark through the perforation. Common application is testing the injection point of injection moulded products e.g. yoghurt cups, bottles and containers.
Perforations in moving webs can be detected with a special detection bar and a high voltage generator. Perforations will be detected but not localised.
High voltage spark over can be used in a controlled way. A spark over from a special electrode to a ground reference can be detected and evaluated. Perforations in plastic webs can be detected and counted. A Perfomaster provides the hardware and software to generate a controlled spark over, detect this and evaluate the spark over to produce a pulse signal.
Static cling or static attraction to disrupt your production process.
Static electricity is an electrical charge that doesn’t move. Static electricity is generated when two or more surfaces come into contact with one another and are separated again.
