Using an Electrostatic Charge on In Mold Labeling (IML)

Static charges can be used to pin a decorative decal tight against the inner mold surface during injection molding, a procedure which greatly improves finished product quality. A decal is placed by robot into the mold cavity. An electrostatic charge is applied simultaneously as label vacuum is turned off. The static charge pins the decal to the mold. The decal will not slip or change position in the mold.

Solutions

Chargemaster CM30 & CM60, Static Charging Systems The Chargemaster CM supplies the high voltage for charging bars and various charging applicators, which are used to temporarily bond materials. The Chargemaster CM provides a simple and economical solution for a wide range of production processes.

Pinner and Pinner Bar NR Arc Resistant Static Charging Bars Versatile arc resistant bars for any static charging need.

Static Charging Applicators SIMCO’s Pinner Series static charge applicators consists of the Linear Pinner, 5-Point and Pinner Claw. Pinner applicators are arc-resistant to avoid suspension of static charge and loss of pinning action. The Pinners are current limited to ensure operator and equipment safety.

Electrostatic Charging Monitor The Electrostatic Charging Monitor tracks, and displays, the performance efficiency status of the Chargemaster electrostatic charging equipment.
