Static Control for High Speed Web

Blue Bar HL Static Control Bar

Now, the well known, high output “Blue Bar” static control bar is available in a hazardous location version. The Blue Bar HL Static Control Bar is a high efficiency, extended range, shockless static bar UL listed for use in Class I (Division 1 and 2, Group D) Class II (Division 1 and 2, Group G) and Class III (Division 1 and 2) hazardous locations. The Blue Bar HL eliminates static charges on webs at speeds to 2,500 fpm at 1” and can be mounted up to 6” from the web at slower speeds. Its patented design allows for easy cleaning and offers a mounting channel along the full length of the back of the bar. The Blue Bar HL is ideal for use in hazardous areas including coating, laminating, finishing and gravure printing.

There are two power supply choices for the Blue Bar HL. The XP167 (120V) and XP267 (230V) are UL/CUL approved for mounting inside Class I (Division 1 and 2, Group D) hazardous locations. These power supplies have an arc detection circuit to shut down the power supply within 40 milliseconds in the event of an arc from the bar or cable. They also have indicator lights (located inside the power supply housing) to indicate if there is high voltage output and if a shut-down has occurred. Relay contacts allow remote display of the indicator lights. The XPM167 (120V) and XPM267 (230V) have the same features as the XP167 and XP267, but the units are UL/CUL approved for mounting outside the hazardous area only.
