Choosing Static Eliminators components

Static eliminator selection is driven by the application's surface size, target distance, charge level, and any cleanliness requirements (clean rooms need DC ionizers, not AC). The ionizer must produce enough ions of the correct polarity at the operating distance to neutralize the substrate's charge faster than it accumulates.

Specs to confirm before ordering:

  • Type: AC ionizing bar (longest range up to ~1 m, broad coverage, simpler), DC pulse ionizing bar (balance-adjustable, longer range than AC at low charge, clean-room compatible), shock-free AC, blower-fed (combines air with ions for long range)
  • Bar length to match the substrate width plus typically 50–100 mm overhang per side
  • Mounting distance from the substrate — most bars perform best at 25–100 mm
  • Ion balance specification for clean-room applications (±25 V typical for general use, ±5 V for sensitive electronics)
  • Decay time — how quickly the bar neutralizes a charged target at the operating distance
  • Power supply: typically 5 kV to 7 kV AC or DC; matched to the bar's ion-pin geometry
  • High-voltage cable length between supply and bar
  • Diagnostic features: pin-cleanliness monitoring, output voltage feedback, fault alarm to PLC
  • Safety features: shock-free (current-limited) ionizer pins for accessible installations

Common gotchas: ionizing bars degrade as ion pins accumulate dust and process contamination — regular cleaning is required to maintain performance, and bars in dusty environments may need cleaning weekly. AC bars produce both positive and negative ions and are intrinsically balanced (zero net charge); DC pulse bars require periodic re-balancing in critical applications. High-voltage cables are not interchangeable across brands or even across power-supply models within a brand — pin counts and impedance differ. Static measurement before and after installation verifies the bar is doing what's expected; a meter reading of unchanged charge means the bar is too far, too short, or not powered properly.

Typical applications: web tension and sheet handling in plastic film converting, dust removal on printed cartons before label application, neutralizing static on injection-molded plastic parts coming off the conveyor, ESD control on electronics assembly lines, and personnel-touch protection at packaging stations.

Do you stock obsolete static eliminators?
Yes. Discontinued Simco IonBar early codes, retired Haug VS-series, end-of-life Meech Hyperion, and earlier EXAIR ionizing bars are sourced through our supplier network.
AC vs. DC ionizing bar — which do I need?
AC for general industrial applications with broad coverage at moderate distances. DC pulse for clean rooms, electronics assembly, and applications requiring tight ion-balance control. AC is simpler; DC offers more control at higher cost.
How close does the bar need to be?
Most ionizing bars operate best at 25–100 mm from the target. Closer than 25 mm may not give the ions time to spread; farther than 100 mm reduces ionization density. Blower-fed ionizers extend the effective range to a meter or more.
How often do ion pins need cleaning?
Depends on the environment. Clean rooms: monthly to quarterly. General industrial: weekly to monthly. Heavy dust: weekly or more often. Cleaning with the OEM-recommended brush and solvent restores performance.
Is the power supply included with the bar?
Sometimes — depends on the model. Some bars are sold with matched power supplies; others sell separately because one supply drives multiple bars. We will state the configuration on each listing.
What is the warranty?
12-month functional warranty. Damage from pin contamination beyond normal service intervals, high-voltage cable damage, or operation outside rated environment is not covered.
