Antistatic

The “Antistatic” option for a VFFS machine is a feature that helps to prevent the build-up of static electricity on the machine, which can cause problems such as film sticking or jamming. This option is particularly useful for packaging products that are sensitive to static electricity, such as powders, granules, or other similar products.

An antistatic system is typically a device or a set of devices integrated into the VFFS machine that work by neutralizing or reducing the static electricity on the machine. There are different types of antistatic systems, some of them use ionization, which neutralize the static charge on the material by introducing ions, other use conductive materials to reduce the charge by providing an alternative path for the charge to flow through.
