High voltage electrostatic generators, like the Simco CM5 charging generator, create a controlled static charge up to 60kV on a non-conductive material that will allow a temporary adhesion between 2 surface s with charges of opposite polarity. A high DC voltage (up to 60kV) can be safely produced and is carried to the emitters of an generator bar or electrode, where it is connected to an array of suitably designed emitter pins to generate a “corona”. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points forces the material to a reference earth clinging the different surfaces together.
Charging applicators are the extensions of the static charging generators to reach the material. With the charging applicator a high-Voltage field can be applied to the material. Charging Applicators come in different shapes. All have points to where the Corona effect needs to be generated. There are single point applicators like pinner-electrodes. Also there are bar-shaped charging applicators. These can be mounted inside machines for continuous charging or switched charging of material that is processed inside the machine.
Simco-Ion Europe offers a variety of charging bars and electrodes, depending on the specific applications and conditions. These bars are connected to a Static Charging Generator. The bars have the length of a normal static eliminator and can be placed inside machines. The length usually depends on the size of the material that needs to be charged. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the line of high voltage points of the charging bars can force material to glue together or to charge. The material is charged by the ions that are created and directed by the charging bar. Surfaces with different polarity glue or cling together temporarily. There are various methods of temporarily charging materials electrostatically, using a Simco-Ion Chargemaster Static Generator.

A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points forces the material to a reference earth. The material is charged by the ions. Being attracted by different polarities a force is created. The force can make materials or surfaces temporarily cling together when in close proximity. There are various methods of temporarily charging materials electrostatically, using a Simco-Ion Charging Generator and Static Charging electrodes. The combination of a type of Charging Generator and Charging applicator is called a Static charging system.
