Injection moulding – step conveyor

PROBLEM

Static charges on injection moulded components being conveyed and deposited into storage boxes can result in the following issues. 

• Attraction of airborne contamination 

• Products sticking to conveyor to drop on the floor under the machine 

• Product climbing the walls of the box to then drop on the floor before the box if full 

• Electrostatic shocks to operators handling the box 

Controlling static charges are key to producing quality product to suit the customer need. 

SOLUTION

Positioning a Meech Hyperion bar over the end of the conveyor and box,  

• prevents product from sticking to the belt,  

• prevents contamination attraction,  

• prevents product repelling from each other 

• Prevents electrostatic shock to operators
