Electrostatic bonding on Chipwood presses
In the chipwood industry decorated paper, impregnated with synthetic resin and hardener, is usually put on both sides of the chipwood panel. The sandwich is then transported into the press. During this process the problem occurs that the decorationpaper slides due to the sudden movement, so that only a part of the chipwood remains covered. The panel becomes waste. Simco advises to use charging bars, to be installed above and below the chipboard just before the sandwich is moved into the press. Applying opposite polarity electrostatic charge to both sides of the panel will prevent the paper to move.
