Reasons and protection methods of static electricity during rubber mixing

Static electricity is very common when mixing rubber, no matter the season. When the static electricity is serious, it will cause a fire and cause a production accident.

Analysis of the causes of static electricity:

There is strong friction between the rubber material and the roller, resulting in frictional electrification.

Preventing static electricity hazards during the production of rubber products is a problem faced by many companies producing rubber products and deserves the attention of people in the industry.

Measures to protect against static electricity include:

1. The air is dry, pay attention to moisturizing, especially dry in winter!

2. For equipment grounding problem, ensure normal grounding, and connect the double roller to a ground wire.

3. It has something to do with clothes and shoes. Don't wear chemical fiber clothes and insulated shoes. Static electricity is very serious.

4. It is related to human physique. When mixing rubber, don't make your hands too dry, you can moisten your hands.

5. In the operation process, as long as the tip of the cutter is used to touch the roller at any time, and to avoid direct contact between the hand and the roller, the pain of electrostatic discharge can be avoided.

6. The manual input of rubber must be light and slow. It is strictly forbidden to use insulating materials for the covering.

7. The rubber mixing equipment is equipped with an induction static eliminator.

8. In places where there is a risk of explosion or fire and to prevent the human body from being charged, the operator must wear anti-static work clothes, anti-static shoes or conductive shoes. Conductive ground should be laid in the operation area.
