SE-ACB-80 High Power AC Antistatic Bar – 8 kV

Extended-range, high-speed static elimination for demanding industrial production lines

Product Description

The FÖGE SE-ACB-80 is a high-power AC antistatic bar engineered for industrial production environments where standard 5.5 kV bars are no longer sufficient. Operating at 8 kV with an external SE-PAC-80 AC high-voltage power unit, it delivers powerful ionisation at distances of up to 250 mm — more than twice the range of the SE-ACB-55 — making it the right choice when installation geometry prevents close bar mounting, when materials carry exceptionally high static charges, or when line speeds push beyond 500 m/min. Like the rest of the SE-ACB series, the SE-ACB-80 combines a washable, industrial-grade housing with shockless stainless steel emitter pins, a screened HFFR-protected cable and a plug-and-play HV connector for fast, tool-free installation. It is available in any length from 100 mm to 4500 mm, and the optional SE-CAB-AC-1 cable can be ordered in lengths up to 15 m for flexible installation.

How It Works

The SE-ACB-80 is connected to an SE-PAC-80 high-voltage AC power unit, which supplies 8 kV to the bar's stainless steel emitter pins. The elevated voltage causes more intense ionisation of the surrounding air, generating a denser cloud of balanced positive and negative ions compared to a 5.5 kV bar. This denser ion field is able to reach and neutralise static charges at distances up to 250 mm — and at the high charge densities typical of fast-moving heavy materials. The shockless circuit design limits pin current to below 100 µA at all times, ensuring full operator safety regardless of the higher operating voltage.

Advantages & Benefits

01

Handles the most demanding processes

At 8 kV and 250 mm range, the SE-ACB-80 neutralises even the highest static charges found on heavy plastic sheet, board, and wide-gap installations — where lower-power bars fail.

02

Unmatched speed performance

Effective at up to 700 m/min, it keeps pace with the fastest converting, printing and film processing lines without loss of ionisation quality.

03

Flexible installation geometry

A 250 mm ionisation range gives engineers freedom to mount the bar where machine geometry allows — no need to force the bar close to the material.

04

Fewer product defects

Eliminating static charge removes dust attraction and prevents coating, printing and lamination failures — improving yield and reducing rework.

05

Operator safety

Shockless design (< 100 µA pin current) and HFFR-protected cable ensure safe operation even when staff work in close proximity to the bar.

06

Scalable coverage

Connect up to 4 bars to one SE-PAC-80 power unit to cover wide machines without adding extra power supply units.

07

Extended cable reach

Optional cable up to 15 m provides maximum flexibility when the power unit must be mounted far from the ionisation point.

When to Choose SE-ACB-80 over SE-ACB-55

The SE-ACB-80 is the right choice when any of the following conditions apply. If none apply, the SE-ACB-55 is the more cost-effective option.
The bar cannot be mounted within 100 mm of the material surface due to machine geometry
The material carries an unusually high static charge (heavy plastic sheet, board, extruded materials)
Line speed exceeds 500 m/min
Standard 5.5 kV bars have been tried and are underperforming in your process

Max. Line Speed	500 m/min	700 m/min

Applications

Application	Where it helps
Heavy Plastic Sheet & Board	Neutralizes intense static charges on thick plastic sheets, corrugated cardboard, and rigid packaging materials — where 5.5-kV wands are not sufficient.
Wide-Gap Machine Installations	Mount the rod at intervals of 100 mm from the material surface without any loss of ionization performance — ideal for machines with limited space.
Very High-Speed Film Lines	Static buildup on plastic films at 500–700 m/min is neutralized by — the highest production speeds in converting and slitting.
Wide-Web Converting	Handle the full width of large-format webs (film, paper, aluminum foil) at high speeds on winding, slitting, and laminating machines.
Printing on Difficult Substrates	Remove static electricity from heavily charged substrates such as thick coated cardboard, synthetic paper, and metallized films before printing or coating.
Thermoforming & Extrusion Lines	Check the structural integrity of hot extruded or thermoformed plastic sheets — where thermal conditions generate exceptionally high stresses.
Automotive Interior Plastics	Eliminate static electricity from large-format plastic panels and trim parts before painting or assembly — when a rod needs to cover a large area from a distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The SE-ACB-80 operates at 8 kV versus 5.5 kV for the SE-ACB-55. This delivers a significantly wider ionisation range (up to 250 mm vs 100 mm), a higher maximum line speed (700 m/min vs 500 m/min), and the ability to neutralise more heavily charged materials. The SE-ACB-80 requires the SE-PAC-80 power unit; the SE-ACB-55 requires the SE-PAC-55. If your application works well within the SE-ACB-55 parameters, it is the more economical choice.

No. The SE-ACB-80 requires the SE-PAC-80 power unit which delivers 8 kV. The SE-PAC-55 is rated for 5.5 kV and is only compatible with the SE-ACB-55 bar. Using mismatched units may result in reduced ionisation performance or equipment damage.

The SE-ACB-80 is the preferred choice for heavily charged materials such as thick plastic sheet, rigid board, extruded plastics and metallised films — where the standard 5.5 kV bar cannot fully neutralise the charge. It is also ideal for any installation where the bar must be mounted more than 100 mm from the target surface.

Yes. The SE-ACB-80 is orderable in any length from 100 mm to 4500 mm. The bar should span at least the full width of the material to be neutralised. Contact FÖGE with your required length when placing an order.

Yes. The optional SE-CAB-AC-1 cable is available in non-standard lengths from 1 m up to 15 m — providing maximum flexibility when the power unit must be mounted a significant distance from the bar.
