Electrostatic Adhesion of Magazines for Ease of Transport - Select a problem:

This is common in the printing industry where thick books, like catalogues and telephone directories, are being made. A generator bar with an earth below will pin the complete stack.

For larger stacks where a single generator bar will not be effective, an alternative arrangement is possible that uses three 7160 Generator Bars. One, placed above the stack, is negatively charged. The other two, either side of the stack, are positively charged. A negative and a positive IONFIX Compact Static Generator are required. These are built into the compensating stacker.

A typical application could be magazines on an over-wrapping line.
