Metal Industry
In the metal industry, there are five types of problems caused by static electricity that require special attention:
- Adhesion of foreign particles
- Clogging, sticking, and scattering
- Employee discomfort
- Equipment malfunction
- Fire
Among these, adhesion of foreign particles, clogging, sticking, and scattering, and worker discomfort tend to be problematic.
This section introduces problems caused by static electricity in the metal industry and improvement examples using static eliminators.
