Static Controls

Static Elimination in the Plastics Industry

In the presence of static electricity, materials can stick to or repel each other and dust or contaminates can attract to equipment surfaces and products. This static causes interrupted production, slowed production speeds, decreased product quality, increased rejects, and personnel may experience electrostatic shock.

TAKK static elimination products are designed and engineered to handle the toughest, most costly static electricity problems:

• Injection Molding
• Thermoforming
• Printing on Plastics
• Unwinding, Rewinding, Sheeting of Plastics
• Blow Molding
• Extruding
• Packaging
• Secondary operations – cutting, trimming, routing, stacking & destacking

Benefits of TAKK static elimination products:

• Operate machines at higher speeds with fewer malfunctions
• Process materials more efficiently with fewer rejects and less waste
• Prevent soiling contamination of products by dust particles
• Protect machine operators from shocks or more serious injury
• Significantly improve product quality

Proven through decades of success to be the most effective low cost, low maintenance passive static electricity eliminator available!

TAKK tinsel is of high quality 100% copper construction. The core is made of copper wire to ensure positive grounding and strength. Fine, sharply pointed copper strands provide greater static elimination. The highly conductive strands are interspersed to maximize effectiveness, but are not so dense as to make it easy to collect dust and particles.

Static Eliminator Blowers & Blow-off

Vortex Blower
Provides a Large Volume of Ionized Air
