What is the Cause of Static Electricity During the Operation of the Flat Face Mask Machine?

Aug. 14, 2021

When the flat face mask machine is working, several layers of non-woven fabrics need to be hot pressed, formed, and then welded through an ultrasonic system to remove waste materials, insert the bridge of the nose, and weld the ear straps. Therefore, there are many operations. Steps require the cooperation of multiple devices to complete the production of a mask. However, during the operation, we found that the equipment generates static electricity. What is the reason? As a Mask Machine Supplier, I would like to share with you.

First of all, let's first understand what static electricity is. Static electricity will be formed on the surface of charge accumulation objects that are not flowing or in a static state. Static electricity can be divided into two types, one is positive static electricity, and the other is negative static electricity.

Regardless of whether it is positive static electricity or negative static electricity, when objects with static electricity come in contact with objects with potential differences or grounded objects, they are prone to charge transfer and spark discharge.

In autumn and winter, we found that the flat mask machine is prone to static electricity, mainly because:

1.There is induced electricity

2.The weather temperature drops

3.The workshop air is dry

4. There is a lot of friction between objects

How to solve the problem of static electricity generated by the flat mask machine:

We need to analyze the causes of static electricity. Induction electricity is easy to occur on the metal shell, and the solution is relatively simple, that is, the grounding wire.

If static electricity is caused by environmental reasons, such as dry air, low ambient temperature, etc., then a humidifier can be appropriately added to adjust the air humidity in the room. Our company also has Face Mask Making Machine on sale, welcome to contact us.
