What is the deioniser used for?

Electrostatic charge neutraliser

Special deionisers are often fitted to sealing and film processing machines to act as electrostatic neutralisers. Their function is not to purify water, but to remove unwanted electrical charges that accumulate on the film surface during the production process.

Why does the film electrify?

During the unwinding, sealing or cutting of the film, friction and separation of materials occur, leading to the formation of electrostatic charges. This builds up on the surface of the film and can cause a host of problems - from attracting dust and particles to interference with machinery and difficulties with precise material placement.

How does the deioniser work in this context?

An electrostatic deioniser, also known as an ioniser, produces a stream of positive and negative ions that neutralise accumulated charges on the film surface. This device is often installed just before the sealing machine or on the material feed lines to guarantee a safe and stable process.

Advantages of using a deioniser on film machines

• Greater precision in machine operation

  Charge neutralisation prevents the film from self-rolling, which improves the accuracy and repeatability of the seals.

• Elimination of the attraction of pollutants

  Properly ionised film does not attract dust and particles, which affects the aesthetics and quality of the final product.

• Protection of electronic components

  Electrostatic charges can interfere with sensors and control modules. The deioniser prevents such problems.

• Increasing safety

  In some environments, accumulated charges can be an ignitable spark - eliminating charges reduces the risk of ignition.

Summary

Deioniser. What is it and how does it work? As an electrostatic charge neutraliser in film machines, it is an element that significantly improves safety and production efficiency. It eliminates attraction problems, ensures a smooth process and protects equipment from interference. In modern production lines, its presence is now a standard rather than a luxury.
