BAMPTON, DEVON, UK | Fraser Anti-Static Techniques will showcase its products at the upcoming drupa 2016, May 31–June 10, Düsseldorf, Germany.
In areas where combustible solvents are used, including gravure printing and coating, the EX1250 static eliminator will be of particular interest, company says. Its certification has been extended to include ethylene, MEK, and other group IIB gases. Reportedly, ATEX certified static eliminators allow the customer not only to run machines with greater safety but also at much higher speeds.
New intelligent NEOS static eliminators will be shown for the first time to the printing industry. Units monitor the charge in the material and emit the right level and balance of ions to neutralize the charge, company reports. Xpage.co.nz
According to company offset printing is increasingly used to print onto difficult, polymeric substrates, and static can cause sheet feeding and delivery problems. Fraser says it will display new solutions to this problem at drupa, as well as techniques to solve the issue of double layer charging, which makes laser printing onto highly resistive sheets difficult.
