What to Do If Parts in the Vibratory Bowl Have Static Electricity?

1. Root Cause

Continuous friction and impact between parts and the bowl track generate static charge. Lightweight insulating materials cannot dissipate it, causing clinging.

1. Systematic Solutions
2. Active Elimination: Use Static Eliminators (Most Direct & Effective)

• Ionizing Blower: Install inside the bowl, above the track, or at the discharge. It blows ionized air to neutralize charges. This is the primary solution.
• Static Bar: Mounted near the track, emits ions via corona discharge.

2. Modify the Contact Interface: Reduce Generation

• Anti-Static Coatings/Materials: Use anti-static Teflon coatings or conductive plastics for critical track parts.
• Reduce Friction: Polish the track to a smooth finish.

3. Improve Environment & Material

• Increase Humidity: Raise relative humidity to 50-60% if possible.
• Use Anti-Static Agents: Treat parts with anti-static sprays if compatible.

4. Optimize Bowl Operation

• Adjust Vibration: Try lower amplitude, higher frequency for gentler part movement.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Clean the bowl regularly to prevent dust buildup.

5. Grounding (Basic but Limited)

• Ensure the bowl is properly grounded. This helps drain charge from the bowl itself but is less effective for charge on parts.

Summary: Address static with a strategy of “active elimination first, supported by comprehensive prevention.” Installing an ionizing blower is the preferred and fastest solution for most issues, combined with optimization of materials, environment, and parameters for best results.
