Chosing the right type of industrial static eliminator

Simco-ION anti-static bars or industrial static eliminators generate an electrical field which causes the air molecules in the vicinity of the bar to break down into positive and negative ions. The anti-static bars come in different lengths that vary from 20cm up to more than 5 metres depending on the type. The housing of the static eliminators ranges from very small (24 x 27 mm) up to larger sizes that align with the working distance to the material. There are many different industrial static eliminators, differences between them are found in;

1. How the static eliminator is powered( VAC-230/110/120 or 24Vdc)
2. The distances to the material that needs to be neutralized (short, middle, or long range)
3. Special bars (size of body, special material, ATEX, UL and/or smart IQ bars)

Static eliminators can be powered by an external power supply that feeds the static eliminator with a high-voltage cable or the bars can be powered with an external 24V DC cable. With the new 24V DC technology solutions, the high-voltage power supply is integrated into the bar. The advantage of 24V is that no high-voltage cables need to be placed in the machine. Below you find the table for selecting the right static eliminator. The 24V DC ionisation bars are shockfree (no shock when touching) while most of the AC ionising bars are not.

In both the 24V DC and the older AC-powered you can choose for short and long range ionisation bars. Smart solutions like inline measuring, feedback compensation, communication to ethernet and clean-bar-indication are only available in the 24V DC selection. For both AC and DC products, we offer UL-certification.
