New Anti Static Rods for Converting, Printing and Packaging Equipment
are Easy to Install and Don’t Require Power or Surface Contact.

(February 2, 2005, Marblehead, MA) – STOPSTATIC.COM, manufacturer of Static String and Static Elastic, introduces new ion360TM Ionizing Rods. Ion360 Rods are lightweight, easy to install and don’t require power to operate. They provide a full 360o field of static elimination and outlast brushes by four to one.

According to Gavin Aho, engineer at Top Flight Corporation, a Pennsylvania-based high-speed label manufacturer, “When it comes to the economical dissipation of static, the simplicity and performance of the ion360 Rods can’t be beat. We installed these rods on each of our machines and tested them to verify that they did reduce the static charge to a reasonable level. The rods have been particularly effective with our RFID products, where a slower dissipation of static is an advantage.”

“The ion360 Rods won’t oxidize, corrode or lose fibers like tinsel and brushes and their small profile allows them to fit into tight spaces, under charged sheets, as they travel through a machine or onto a stack,” says Bill Larkin, President, STOPSTATIC.COM.

Low in Cost
Ion360 rods are a highly-effective, low-cost solution. For example, a 12 inch ion360F rod with a magnet at one end for single-side mounting is only $39.90 complete. Ion360 Rods are available in both flexible (ion360F) and rigid (ion360R) formats, in a variety of standard sizes as well as custom-cut lengths.
