Plastic conveying – bulkhead nozzles

PROBLEM

Static charges are generated by the frictional forces during the conveying of plastics. When delivered into hoppers, these static charges can build to very high levels. Operators needing to handle the hoppers are at risk of static discharges which can be high enough to result in health and safety non-compliance. 

Controlling the static charges are key to keeping the operator safe. 

SOLUTION

Using a Meech ionising nozzles, ionised air can be directed to the ducting, removing the static charges to ensure a safe working area.  

The ionising nozzle is powered remotely by a DC controller.
