Static Eliminator for colorant variation and resin bridging static
Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator for eliminating static in plastic resin preventing resin bridging and eliminating static in colorant thus preventing colorant separation and color variation.
How static effects resin flow in throats, color
consistency and color change times.
The static in your resin transport system causes the resin in the
throat (and other areas) to bridge. Dissipating the static on resin
will allow free flow of resin preventing bridging.
Static in your resin transport system causes static on colorant to
accumulate. The colorant sticks together not uniformly mixing with
the resin and causes color variation in the product.
Static in the colorant will slow color changes as colorant sticks to
interior surfaces slowing cleanup.
By introducing Ionix Static Eliminator air in your magnet drawer,
you dissipate all the static present the in resin transport systems
which causes these problems.
How to install the Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator
The Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator is installed through the
plastic face of the magnet drawer. The fitting is placed in a 3/8"
hole drilled through the drawer face. This air fitting introduces
Ionix treated air into the throat area of your process through the
magnet drawer resin flow. The Ionix treated air will percolate up to
the feeder hopper eliminating any static on the plastic material in
the hopper. Ionix air will also eliminate static in the throat
transition area and also into the molding machine.
The Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator operates using house air
and an Ionix Static Eliminator. House air is brought to the machine,
a air regulator is installed (supplied by Ionix) and the regulated
air line continues to an Ionix Static Eliminator cartridge. An air
line continues from the Ionix Static Eliminator Cartridge to the
installed Magnet Drawer fitting.
The Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator can be installed anywhere you
are having a static problem. You can install it in the side wall of
drying or mixing hoppers to prevent colorant separation due to
static.

How to operate the Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator
Once the Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator is installed, you
adjust the air flow into the machine until there is a constant low
flow of air. All you want to do is have a low volume of Ionix
treated air flowing into the hopper.
If possible, keep a lid on the feeder hopper to trap the Ionix air
in the hopper. The lid does not need to fit air tight. All you want
to accomplish is to trap the Ionix treated air in your hopper and
machine and keep out the ambient untreated air. This will allow the
Ionix treated air to percolate through your resin transport system
and dissipate static.
You might have to adjust air flow depending upon the resin you
process. Certain resins will have higher static charges than others
(i.e. regrind material) so you might find it necessary to increase
air flow of the Ionix treated air to deliver enough to dissipate the
static encountered in the resin. However, the better you trap Ionix
air in your hopper feeding system the more effective Ionix is in
dissipating static.
Maintenance of the Ionix Magnet Drawer Static Eliminator
The only maintenance necessary is periodic replacement of the Ionix
Static Eliminator Cartridge. As air passed through the unit, its
static elimination properties are diminished. Since usage widely
varies among users, it is difficult to exact predict replacement
schedules. Our experience is they should be replaced once a year.
However, if you run 24 hours a day 7 days a week you might have to
change out cartridges sooner.
