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.

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.

Static generation is used for temporary adhesion because it is clean, fast, precise, stable, controllable, low energy non-contaminating.

It is used for laminating, pinning, packaging, labelling, printing, bindery, cooling, bag making and interleaving protective liners onto glass and metal sheets.

Contact Fraser to discuss how static generation can increase the efficiency of your process.

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.

S t a t i c M e a s u r e m e n t

The measurement of static allows the engineer to investigate industrial static electricity problems and monitor the effectiveness of actions taken.

EX715 Static MeterThe 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 MeterThe 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 CheckerThe 720 static bar checker allows operators and maintenance personnel to quickly verify that AC static eliminator bars are working.

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.

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.

P a s s i v e S t a t i cE l i m i n a t i o n

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 & 201 Anti-static BrushesDesigned 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 660An 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 CordContains conductive micro-fibres 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.
