Static electricity can cause a number of problems on paper folding machines. Static charges are generated as one sheet is moved across the top of the stack causing the sheets to stick together creating misfeeds and paper jams. Installing a static eliminator to blow ionized air between the top sheet and the stack eliminates the charge and prevents sticking and jamming.
A static neutralizing bar, mounted just ahead of the paper stack, will insure that the individual sheets move properly as they pass from the paper stack to the in-feed of the folding machine.
The friction generated by the folding operation creates an electrostatic charge again on the surface of the paper and can cause problems at the delivery end of the folding machine. A static bar will neutralize any static charges on the folded sheets as they are moved into the completed stack.recommended solutions:
