Anti-static systems: eliminate static, ensure smooth conveying
In plastic film recycling, static electricity is an invisible enemy. It causes edge trims to cling to pipe walls, bunch up in hoppers, and create costly blockages that stop production. Plasmac offers a targeted range of anti-static solutions, including ionizing bars and specialized piping, designed to neutralize static charges instantly. Whether you are processing thin blown film, or high-speed trims, our systems guarantee a free-flowing process from the winder to the extruder.
Stop static before it stops you
- Prevent blockages. Static causes lightweight films to stick to metal surfaces. Our systems neutralize this attraction, preventing “bridging” and clogs in the transport ducting.
- Improve flow rate. By eliminating friction caused by static cling, material moves faster and more efficiently through the pneumatic system.
- Enhance safety. Reducing static buildup minimizes the risk of sudden discharges or sparks in dusty environments, contributing to a safer plant
Targeted solutions for static control
We address static at the critical points of your recycling line.
Active neutralization
Devices designed to eliminate charge at specific intake or discharge points.
Anti-Static Bars
High-efficiency ionizing bars are typically installed on the Trim Basket. They generate a field of ions that neutralizes the static charge on the trim just before it enters the machine, ensuring it falls freely into the screw without “balling up”.
Passive prevention
Solutions for the transport lines.
Anti-Static Pipes
Specialized conveying ducting is designed to dissipate static charges continuously along the transport route. Essential for long-distance pneumatic conveying of static-prone materials and for fast conveying trim systems.
Why is static control critical?
Integrating anti-static systems isn’t an option for certain materials; it’s a necessity.
Essential for pneumatic conveying systems
Pneumatic conveying systems generate massive amounts of static during slitting and transport. Without active neutralization, recycling in line is virtually impossible due to constant clogging.
Consistent feeding
A static-free material is a free-flowing material. By neutralizing the charge, you ensure consistent bulk density feeding into the extruder, which stabilizes the output pressure.
Reduced maintenance
Eliminate the need for operators to manually clear static-induced jams in the pipework or hopper, keeping your line running and your staff safe.

Circular economy
Static is often a barrier to recycling high-value technical films.
By overcoming this technical challenge, Plasmac enables the recovery of materials that might otherwise be discarded due to handling difficulties, ensuring that even the most demanding polymers remain in the loop.
