Introduction Fraser Anti-Static has been a specialist manufacturer of static control equipment since the company started in 1991. This specialisation has allowed us to focus on what our customers want. Today we are presenting a range of equipment which has been designed to solve our customers problems not just in performance, but also in terms of reliability, ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Fraser equipment is specified by many of the major machinery manufacturers in the plastics, converting, paper, printing and related industries. Support for Fraser products is supplied from the factory in the south west of the UK and by distributors throughout the industrial world. Fraser equipment is built within an ISO9001 certified quality system. Our products have been certified to CE directives and also, as required, to UL, ATEX, IECEx and CB standards. This brochure has been designed to introduce our core products. There is no space here for detailed specifications, these can be found on www.fraser-antistatic.co.uk Also on our website are many application sketches and examples. These give typical solutions that have been used successfully on our customers problems. If you need further information on your particular applications please contact us direct on sales@fraser-antistatic.co.uk. A photo, or sketch is always useful to clarify the description. We will reply promptly with answers proposing cost effective and durable static control equipment. fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry 1
EX Hazardous Areas Maximum ionisation performance is key in hazardous areas where static can cause ignition of solvents. Fraser s unique range of ATEX Certified products enables the measurement and control of risk from static discharge. EX1250 Static Eliminator Bar High performance eliminator for Hazardous areas Certified for Zones 1,2 and 22 Gas Group IIB Available in lengths up to 6m 5 year guarantee on emitters Remote monitoring available The risk of fire is a very important consideration in the coating, gravure printing and other industries where combustible solvents are used. The static charge on a film can cause a spark discharge which ignites the solvent and creates a fire or explosion. Contact Fraser to get qualified advice on the range of ATEX Certified products available to measure and control static charge and prevent fires. EX-HPSD Passive Eliminator Unrivalled cost-effectiveness in hazardous areas. Particularly effective on high speed, high charge applications. Non-contact application. EXHP Power Unit UL certified high load power unit for EX1250 Bars. Must be installed outside the controlled area and so has a choice of monitoring options including remote monitoring. EX715 Static Meter The EX715 is ATEX Certified for use in hazardous areas. It is the only certified meter worldwide. It allows the Engineer to determine risk and monitor the effectiveness of actions taken. 2 fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry
Static Generation Using electrostatics for temporary adhesion is a fast-growing area of industry. Fraser static generation equipment offers high technology in robust and safe designs, giving the operator the required control and integration with the process. E7130 Generator Bar Clean Low energy Non-contaminating Controllable Precise Safe Static generation is used for temporary adhesion because it is clean, fast, precise, stable, controllable, low energy non-contaminating.

Contact Fraser to discuss how static generation can increase the efficiency of your process. 7130 Generator Bars Available in 30kV and 50kV versions. Tungsten emitters will give many years of service. There is a resistor for each emitter giving controlled and safe operation. 7080 Generator Bar The 7080 is a Generator Bar for low intensity applications. It is compact and economical. 7093 Pinner One of the range of specialist Fraser electrodes for applying charge. The 7093 has been designed for high temperature and hostile conditions. 7000 Range The 7000 Range of Static Generators includes a model from every application: from 60W to 150W in power; 30kV to 50kV in voltage and with and without local and remote controls. fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry 3
Static Measurement The measurement of static allows the engineer to investigate industrial static electricity problems and monitor the effectiveness of actions taken. 715 Static Meter The 715 Static Meter measures up to 200kV and is used to investigate static problems in nearly every industry. For hazardous areas see EX715, below. Static Electricity is a problem in many industrial areas. It slows production, reduces product quality, attracts contaminants and gives shocks to operators. It is a well-known phenomenon throughout the plastics, packaging, electronics, printing, paper, medical, pharmaceutical and textile industries. Static can create the additional hazard of fire and explosion risks where solvents and explosives are used. The 715 and EX715 Static Meters enable engineers to investigate these problems safely and give a scientific basis for analysis. And action. EX715 Static Meter The EX715 is the only ATEX and IECEx meter available for use in certified areas. It has two auto-scaling ranges, 0-20KV and 0-200KV. 740 SRM Surface Resistance Meter The 740 Surface Resistance Checker is a pocket-sized instrument providing fast and repeatable measurements of conductive, static dissipative and insulative surfaces. It can also measure resistance to ground. 720 Static Bar Checker The 720 static bar checker allows operators and maintenance personnel to quickly verify that AC static eliminator bars are working. 4 fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry
Passive Static Elimination Passive static eliminators do not need a power source - just a connection to earth. Their fine conductive fibres concentrate the electric field of the static charge and ionise the air. The ionised air allows the static charge to flow to earth. 101 & 102 Static Dischargers Passive static eliminators do not need to touch the material being neutralised, but must be close to it - typically 2-3mm. While they cannot eliminate 100% of the static charge - an 80% neutralisation is typical, depending on the application - this is sufficient for many applications. They are cost-effective anti-static tools, especially suitable for occasional or unexpected problems. See also EX-HPSD Static Dischargers which have been certified for use in hazardous areas. 101 & 201 Anti-static Brushes Designed for neutralising webs and sheets. They are custom made to the required length, with a choice of carbon or conductive nylon fibres and available in 18, 30, 50 and 80mm fibre. Model 660 An antistatic strip brush with soft stainless steel filaments. It is available in 1m lengths or can be custom made for larger requirements. 850 Anti-Static Cord Contains conductive microfibres which ionise the air and eliminate the static charge. It is available in reels of 10m, 25m. 850E is an elasticated version available in 10m reels. 801 Anti-Static Tinsel A low cost and versatile method of static control used in thousands of factories. Available in boxes of 22m. fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry 5
Dust & Static Fraser dust and static products produce fast moving ionised air which neutralises the static electricity and removes dust and other contaminants. The 4125 Ionised Airgun produces ionised air at a thrust of 5.2N at 5 Bar air pressure for maximum cleaning power. It is available with bottom air entry, or top air entry - see inset photo. Static electricity causes the attraction of airborne contaminants to charged product. Airguns and nozzles are suitable for demanding dust removal applications which include preparing plastic parts for painting, cleaning sheets for printing, cleaning electronics and displays during assembly. Airknives are used for larger mouldings, glass sheets and automobiles. All products combine powerful ionisation with high-speed air to remove contaminants and prevent their re-attraction. 5100 Ionised Airknife Using compressed air to clean and neutralise mouldings, sheets and similar products. Available in lengths up to 2.3m. 4400 Ionised Air Nozzle Generates concentrated ionised air for accurate cleaning of small areas. 4510 Ionised Air Nozzle Produces a flat beam of ionised air which is used for cleaning and sheet separation. 5500 Fan Driven Ionised Air Knife For use in applications where compressed air is uneconomical, typically automotive, doors, and other large parts. 6 fraser-antistatic.co.uk Controlling Static Electricity in Industry
