Static Charging

High-voltage generators and charging electrodes or charging bars from Simco-Ion

High voltage electrostatic generators, like the Simco CM5 charging generator, create a controlled static charge up to 60kV on a non-conductive material that will allow a temporary adhesion between 2 surfaces with charges of opposite polarity. A high DC voltage (up to 60kV) can be safely produced and is carried to the emitters of an generator bar or electrode, where it is connected to an array of suitably designed emitter pins to generate a “corona”. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points forces the material to a reference earth clinging the different surfaces together.

 
How does electrostatic charging work and how does a generator look like?

A static charging system consist of a high voltage generator and an electrode. The high voltage generator supplies the high voltage needed to create a static charge. This can vary from 3 to 60 kVolts. The charging electrode comes in different shapes to enable an optimum result for each specific application. Currently Simco-Ion high-voltage generators are used for the production of the facemask with types FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 that are used against the spread of the Corona-virus. More on the physics side of electrostatic charging can be found here.
Different type of generators

Choosing the right generator is mostly based on the space that you have available and the voltage (power) that is needed to get the job done. We offer:

Charging Generators

High voltage electrostatic generators, like the CM5 charging generator, create a controlled static charge up to 60kV on a non-conductive material that will allow a temporary adhesion between 2 surfaces/materials with charges of opposite polarity. A high DC voltage (up to 60kV) is generated safely and carried by a high-voltage cable to the emitters of a charging applicator, charging electrode or charging bar to generate a “corona”. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points, forces the material to a reference earth, clinging the different surfaces together.

Choosing the right generator is mostly based on the space that you have available and the voltage (power) that is needed to get the job done. We offer the following generators:

Charging applicators are the extensions of the static charging generators to reach the material. With the charging applicator, a high-voltage field can be applied to the material. Charging Applicators come in different shapes. All have pins where the Corona effect is generated. There are single point applicators like pinner-electrodes, and there are bar-shaped charging applicators. These can be mounted inside machines for continuous charging, or momentarily charging of material that is processed inside the machine.
CM_Tiny__voor_-600x600
CM Tiny

The CM Tiny is the smallest industrial charging high voltage static generator for applications like static bonding, static cling or static used to glue materials together. The generator only needs 24V DC voltage. The housing is compact, robust and only weighs 500 grams which makes it perfect for small machines and applications with moving parts like pick and place handling systems. It can easily withstand the high G-forces occurring during the process.

CM_lite-600x600
CM Lite

The CM Lite is a mid-sized industrial charging high voltage static generator for applications like static bonding, static cling or static used to glue materials together. The 20kV generator only needs a 220V AC voltage power supply. The housing is compact and robust and weighs 5,2 kilograms. The high voltage with an adjustable output voltage (both positive and negative) of 0 – 20 kV (with a maximum current of 0,7 mA) is shown on the digital display. A remote control option is available and a warning light shows whether the system is overloaded or if spark-over occurred.

CM5-30

CM5 is backwards compatible with the ECM30/60 and ECM DI30/60. A quick set-up menu is provided to set-up the generator to function as an ECM30/60. The menu is available in English, German, French and Italian.
The new function “current control” will enable you to set a constant current vs a constant voltage. This will provide more stable charging and will compensate contamination and emitter pin wear automatically.

Charging Bars

Simco-Ion Europe offers a variety of charging bars and electrodes

Simco-Ion Europe offers a variety of charging bars and electrodes, depending on the specific applications and conditions. These bars are connected to a Static Charging Generator. The bars have the length of a normal static eliminator and can be placed inside machines. The length usually depends on the size of the material that needs to be charged. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the line of high voltage points of the charging bars can force material to glue together or to charge. The material is charged by the ions that are created and directed by the charging bar. Surfaces with different polarity glue or cling together temporarily. There are various methods of temporarily charging materials electrostatically, using a Simco-Ion Chargemaster Static Generator.

Simco-Ion offers two different types of charging electrodes that both can be connected to a Static Charging Generator.

Charging Electrodes

Simco-Ion Europe offers a variety of charging bars and electrodes

Simco-Ion Europe offers a variety of static charging bars and static charging electrodes, depending on the specific applications and conditions. These bars are connected to a specific DC high-voltage Charging Generator. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points forces the material to a reference earth. The material is charged by the ions. Being attracted by different polarities a force is created. The force can make materials or surfaces temporarily cling together when in close proximity. There are various methods of temporarily charging materials electrostatically, using a Simco-Ion Charging Generator and Static Charging electrodes. The combination of a type of Charging Generator and Charging applicator is called a Static charging system.

Different types of electrodes are:

  1. Pinner Claw for edge(directional) charging for spot-surface-charging and pinning
  2. Pinner 5 Point (focus round) for edge pinning in cast-film extrusion process
  3. Linear 6 Point (focus inline) small surface and edge pinning solutions.

IML and Perforation Detection

Both In-Mould Labeling (IML) and perforation detection use controlled electrical or electrostatic processes in production. IML fuses pre-printed labels into molded products, while high-voltage sparks detect holes or leaks in delicate materials without contact. These techniques rely on precise charge control to achieve reliable results.
