The Importance Of Static Electricity Control In Production Work
Share:
Static electricity may seem “harmless” in everyday life, but its potential destructive power in industrial production should not be underestimated.
Static electricity can cause fatal damage to electronic equipment, and in the chemical and petroleum industries it can also cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, controlling static electricity is not only a means to improve product quality, but also a necessary measure to maintain workplace safety.
Static electricity control is particularly important in electronics manufacturing. The slightest static discharge can damage sensitive electronic components
such as semiconductors and integrated circuits. To prevent this from happening, many factories utilize comprehensive static protection systems,
including anti-static floors, anti-static clothing, static monitoring systems and static discharge devices. These measures ensure the stability and
reliability of electronic equipment during the production process, thereby improving overall productivity and product quality.
Here is a listed company of automotive electronic parts. Their main business is automotive electronic components and automotive electronic equipment.
The factory is equipped with SMT production lines.
1. Furnaces behind PCB boards can get hot and have a lot of static electricity, ion bars can quickly reduce the temperature and eliminate static electricity.
2. Some SMT connectors can control static electricity, installing an ion bar can eliminate potential static electricity.
3. static elimination control is performed by an ionizing fan before entering the SMT machine.
4. It is necessary to install ionization fans to control the risk of static electricity generated when employees touch the products with their hands.
5. Ion blower is installed at the relevant station in the SMT follow-up insertion line where employees touch PCB products.
In the chemical and petroleum industries, static electricity is dangerous in that it can cause explosions. In these industries, static electricity can ignite flammable and explosive materials,
leading to fires and explosions.For example, a simple static discharge can ignite gaseous or liquid fuels with catastrophic results.
Therefore, static control measures in these industries include not only physical isolation and grounding, but also strict operating procedures
and safety training to ensure that employees avoid static buildup and discharge when handling flammable materials.
One of the customers which is a supplier to the automotive related industry, with a primary business of manufacturing automotive artificial leather.
There were safety risks associated with the coating and printing process,so additional ionization and static elimination equipment was required.
Due to the presence of flammable, explosive and volatile gases at the site, failure to remove static electricity in a timely manner could result in a fire safety hazard.
The industry generally requires static electricity to be controlled within 2000V.
Install the AP-AB1108 ion bar behind the rubber rollers in the rear winding area of the non-explosion-proof area for the first process,
and the AP-AB1602A explosion-proof ion bar in the coating head of the explosion-proof area for the second process. The static electricity is controlled at about 400V.
The equipment has been in operation for more than one year without excessive static electricity.
In addition, static electricity poses a challenge to the pharmaceutical industry. In this industry, static electricity can cause dust and particles to adhere to the surface of a drug or medical device,
affecting the purity and safety of the product.To address this issue, many pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities use specially designed anti-static environments,
such as static eliminators and constant humidity systems, to maintain a clean and stable production environment.
Here is a pharmaceutical company that produces mainly plastic bottles for medicine. There is a lot of equipment for producing pharmaceutical bottles and caps here.
There is a lot of static electricity after the products are processed by the heating box, and many foreign objects will be adsorbed.
Manufacturers generally do not have high requirements for electrostatic values. Their main concern is to solve the problem of adsorption of foreign objects inside and outside the bottle.
If the static problem is not solved,it will have a great impact on the filling stage.By installing an ionization fan AP-DC2451-001 at the outlet of the heated box,
the static electricity can be reduced from about 10,000V to less than 100V, so that foreign objects will no longer be adsorbed.
In conclusion, electrostatic control plays a key role in production work in various industries. Through effective static protection measures,
not only can improve product quality and productivity, but also can greatly reduce the safety risks in the workplace, to protect the health and safety of employees.
