Ion Bar – Reliable Static Elimination for Surface-Wide Coverage

In high-speed production environments where plastic films, paper, or electronic components are processed, electrostatic charge buildup is a constant challenge. This static not only attracts dust and contaminants but also poses a risk of damage to sensitive equipment and materials. Kaasu Enterprises offers a dependable and robust solution to this problem — the Ion Bar — a precision-engineered device designed to provide uniform static charge neutralization across wide surfaces.

Whether you operate a printing press, packaging machine, electronics assembly line, or film handling unit, the Ion Bar offers unmatched ion distribution, effective performance, and low maintenance.

The table below outlines the complete technical profile of the Ion Bar, helping users understand its industrial capabilities:

The availability of multiple length options allows seamless adaptation into different machine widths or production lines. With reliable static elimination and minimal upkeep, this bar ensures continuous efficiency and safety.

How Does the Ion Bar Work?

The Ion Bar uses either high-frequency AC or pulsed DC ionization methods to generate balanced positive and negative ions. These ions are discharged evenly across a linear array of emitter points and carried toward the target surface using the surrounding air or airflow from a fan or compressed air system.

As these ions reach the charged surface, they neutralize positive or negative charges, bringing the object’s electrical potential back to a neutral state. This neutralization prevents issues such as material misfeeds, label sticking, film wrinkling, or damage to electronic circuits.

Key Features of the Ion Bar

1. High-Frequency AC / Pulsed DC Operation

The bar is available in two primary variants — high-frequency AC for continuous balanced ion output and pulsed DC for precision-controlled discharge. The choice allows adaptability based on your specific industrial application.

2. Multiple Length Options

With lengths ranging from 300 mm to 1200 mm, the Ion Bar can be used on small lab-scale machines to full-length industrial conveyors or film winders. Custom sizing ensures optimal static control across varied surfaces.

3. Efficient Static Discharge

The discharge time is ≤ 2 seconds, depending on distance and air movement. This rapid neutralization rate supports high-speed manufacturing and minimizes material interruptions.

4. External High-Voltage Power Supply

The bar functions via an external high-voltage source (typically 4.6–7 kV), allowing centralized control for multiple bars installed on a single machine or across different production zones.

5. Easy Mounting Design

You can install the Ion Bar using brackets or panel mounts, making integration into existing setups simple and non-intrusive. It can be positioned above rollers, conveyors, or film unwinders without taking up valuable space.

6. Uniform Ion Distribution

Unlike some older designs that have ionization dead zones, the Ion Bar from Kaasu Enterprises ensures a consistent flow of ions along its full length, leaving no surface area untreated.

Industrial Applications of Ion Bar

The versatility and design of the Ion Bar allow it to serve across several industrial sectors. Below are some of the most common use cases:

◼ Printing Industry

In offset and digital printing, static charge leads to misalignment of sheets, ink blotting, or improper substrate feeding. Installing an Ion Bar neutralizes these charges, allowing clean print transfer and consistent material flow.

◼ Packaging Lines

Plastic wrappers, shrink films, and laminated sheets often carry static after processing. The Ion Bar neutralizes these surfaces, preventing curl-ups, sticking, or dust attraction before sealing or cutting.

◼ Film and Web Handling

Rollers moving poly films or paper reels generate friction, resulting in electrostatic accumulation. The bar, when mounted near the rollers, eliminates this static and ensures proper alignment and tension maintenance.

◼ Electronics Assembly

Ion Bars are often mounted above conveyor belts transporting PCBs. Their neutralizing ability ensures that components don’t accumulate charge during handling or soldering, reducing the risk of microcomponent failure.

Benefits of Using Kaasu Enterprises’ Ion Bar

Choosing the right static control solution can transform your production environment. Here’s how the Ion Bar benefits your operations:

• Reduces Material Rejection Rates: Static causes misfeeds and sticking. Eliminating it ensures material moves as expected, reducing waste.

• Improves Worker Safety: High static levels may lead to shocks or unexpected discharges. Neutralization prevents such occurrences.

• Enhances Product Cleanliness: By eliminating static, dust and airborne particles no longer cling to surfaces — vital in clean packaging or electronic setups.

• Lowers Maintenance Downtime: With few moving parts and a non-intrusive design, the Ion Bar operates continuously with minimal manual intervention.

• Supports Automation and Scaling: Multiple bars can be connected to a single power unit, allowing flexible system design and scalability in large production facilities.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

Although the Ion Bar is a low-maintenance device, proper installation and upkeep are essential for optimal performance.

✔ Installation Tips:

• Mount the bar at an appropriate distance from the target surface (typically 30–60 mm).

• Ensure that the ion emitters face directly toward the charged surface.

• Avoid placing the bar in high-humidity or oil-heavy areas unless specified.

✔ Power Setup:

• Use the recommended external high-voltage supply.

• Ensure proper grounding for safety and equipment longevity.

• If using multiple bars, distribute voltage supply appropriately using certified connectors.

✔ Maintenance Practices:

• Clean ion emitter points regularly using a lint-free cloth or soft brush.

• Inspect mounting brackets for any mechanical shift due to vibration.

• Periodically check high-voltage cables for wear or insulation damage.
