A proper Technical Application Review can make the difference between your static control equipment working well or not working well in your application.
Often non-technical rationale can dictate the placement of static eliminators within manufacturing processes. The correct method for determining static eliminator placement is based on several factors, some which may not be immediately apparent. To ensure you are positioning your static control in the best locations to obtain optimal results, your application should be reviewed by a qualified static control engineer or technician. You may find that a small adjustment can make a big difference in effectively controlling your static problem.
Routinely cleaning your static eliminator bar's emitter points can greatly improve the performance and operation of your units.
How to clean: Light cleaning can be performed by blowing off your ionizer bars with compressor air. For heavy cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol and a paintbrush to brush off any contaminants that cannot be removed by blowing off the unit.
Power to static eliminator must be off during cleaning. Allow static eliminator to dry completely before restoring power.

Static and Static Controls in Printing
The information in this report is intended to give the printer a better appreciation of when static conditions are causing static
problems, and to indicate some of the methods by which the problem of static control can be minimized.
