Maglificio Piero Coerezza & C.
we are very satisfied, after trying the ACME ELETTRONICA antistatic system ,we have solved all the problems generated by static electricity on our flat knitting machines. Now all the machines are equipped with antistatic system.

with some kind of yarn on 12 /18 gauge every piece made the machine stop. Now with the antistatic system machines work without interruption.
ABOUT STATIC ELECTRICITY
Static electricity
Is
a charge build-up on a non conductive material surface. This is normal
when rubbing happens between different insulating materials ( plastic,
glass, linoleum, wool, synthetic clothes, storage materials etc). This
physical phenomena was discovered by Greeks along time ago while were
making experiments with yellow amber. From 'elektron' the name electricity.
We can daily find much cases about this phenomena like electrified hair
after combing, electrified clothes during undressing, dust on television
screen, walking on synthetic floors.
Charge build-up can reach increase ten thousand volts generating electric
discharge. Therefore, everybody can say to have experience with electric
shock touching a door, hand of a friends, or a metallic object, get out
of a car.
Ionization
When it is not possible to connect the operator on ground or eliminate
insulating materials from interested area , ionization represents the
best solution to neutralize electrostatic charge.
To reach this target it is necessary that ionized air flows on electrified
surfaces. This also prevents charge build-up.
