Case Histories
These case histories cover a variety of industries. In each case, the use of our static control systems have increased production speeds, reduced rejects, saved money and/or created a safer work environment.

Plastic Bag Production
Results show that residual static (voltage) on the bags was 86% lower with the Blue Bars than with the traditional bars
Capsule Filling
Static induced rejects, caused from under-filling, were down considerably – from 9% to less than 1%.
Injection Molding
The rejects and downtime previously caused by static were virtually eliminated.
Pre Paint
… reducing the need for plant compressed air and having operating costs 45% lower than plant air systems.
Polishing Pads
Production time for each polishing pad decreased by 64% and overall productivity increased 132%.
Fiber Optics
…total static neutralization was achieved along with the added benefit of a 9.5% increase in production speed.
Film Extrusion
By using the Blue Bar system, the plant could operate free of shock hazards. Complaints of operator shocks were reduced to zero.
Plastic Bag Production
…resulted in extra 8-10 cycles per minute or a 3 to 5% increase in production speeds. Also, the extra operator was no longer needed.
Corrugated Printing
Rejects caused by specs and printing imperfections were reduced almost 75%. Payback period 5 months.
Printing
Downtime was drastically reduced — from shutting down from three times per shift to once every few days.
Flexographic Printing
…where before they had problems running at 200 packets/min., they could now run trouble free at over 500 packets/min.
