3. Use and operation
The Conveyostat
®
is designed to neutralize static charges on materials in pneumatic conveying
systems. Problems caused by static charges, for instance sticking, clotting and clogging of the
system are hereby avoided.
The Conveyostat
®
should be connected to a SIMCO AC high voltage power unit, type LB. The
high voltage supplied by the high voltage power unit generates an electrical field in the bars,
which causes the air molecules around the emitter points in the bars to be converted to positive
and negative ions. When the charged material comes close to these emitter points, ions are
exchanged until the material is neutral.
