39 Extrusion International 1/2019 FILM EXTRUSION Hall A5, Stand 1010 For more than 60 years, Eltex has been focusing on specifically targeting the use of electrostatics to op- timize production processes and removing it where it has unwanted consequences. Electrostatic systems from Eltex enable higher production speeds, signifi- cantly increased quality, reduced energy consumption, fewer faults and minimized downtimes and spoilage. Eltex POWER CHARGER – A new generation of high-voltage generators: Higher quality, less energy consumption, faster pro- duction thanks to fewer disruptions, less downtime and less spoilage. Electrostatic charging does not al- ways have negative consequences; when used for spe- cific purposes it is downright useful in many areas. It is great to see that Eltex is setting new benchmarks in charging technology. User safety has been re-exam- ined during the development of the POWER CHARGER. The generator will also be available in performance level D in the future. An entirely new plug system en- ables simple, secure contact with the inserted bars. Continuous refinement is bringing hardware and user protection to a higher level with each step. Eltex flexION / flexION air discharging bar: The newly patented AC discharging bar with a free- standing air-supported spring tip achieves a very high passive discharge effect, which enables active opera- tion even at a low level of high voltage AC. A small amount of air can be blown through the hollow spring tip to increase the range and to continuously clean the emission tips. The new flexION Eltex bar features excellent discharg- ing results at low and maximum speeds. The special feature here is that the discharge performance re- mains constant from short distances up to large rang- es. It is exactly this wide-ranging performance that characterizes the flexION as the only discharging bar in the world that can be used in different geometric situations – even in narrow, grounded machine envi- ronments. MISTING TACKER for preventing ink mist and for the optimal particle deposit in printing and coating units: During printing and coating processes, so-called ink mist or particle mist arise in the outlet of double-roll systems. This unwanted particle deposit results in low- er product quality, high maintenance costs, increased ink consumption and the contamination of the envi- ronment. The formation of ink mist is very noticeable and annoying, particularly during coating and printing processes on substrates with non-absorbent surfaces (films, metalized substrates or composite films). A pat- ented double-row DC plasma electrode is used to pre- vent this ink mist. This plasma electrode acts separately on both particle streams and ensures an optimal ink transfer. The electrode will be connected to the high voltage generator HSG61. In addition to these novelties, Eltex also presents: Pow- erful Eltex Charging systems, efficient Eltex Discharg- ing systems, Eltex ESA Printing Assist systems, and El- tex Remoistening systems.
