Application of air ionizer to remove electrostatic discharge (esd) dust for plastics material in automotive painting process

In the painting production process, repairing of painted defects by running the part through repeat process, together with the essential requirement of quality control routines, contribute for a very large proportion for the operating costs. The dust and fibre defects which ranged between 40% and 50...
