 Welcome
to our new web site!
Amstat Industries, Inc. focuses on providing
solutions to the problems that static electricity
creates. We are fortunate that we can provide
the best static control devices available,
using passive devices, high voltage electric
ionizers, nuclear ionizers, anti-static chemicals,
and conductive materials, with the customer's
problems and conditions determining which
is the preferred solution. We do not approach
a static problem with a bias of one solution
over another, since our product line is not
limited to one type or the other.
We use an ABC approach to determine the best
solutions for our customers' static problems.
A. Define
the problem the static electricity causes.
B. Define the location of the problem (which
may not be where the static is generated).
C. Determine which device is best used immediately
at or in front of the problem location.

 In
general terms, and there are exceptions, we
will suggest passive devices for low cost,
for dropping high static charges to low or
moderate levels, or as a temporary expedient.
Active devices (nuclear and electrical) create
ionization to "go after" a static
charge. Nuclear devices are often used (1)
in hazardous areas, (2) where portability,
size, or radio frequency interference should
be considered, or (3) when balanced ionization
is mandatory. Electrical ionizers provide
reasonably priced long lasting equipment.
Fan blowing devices are often used to remove
static from 3-dimensional parts or at a distance,
while compressed air units can be used at
a distance or for removing particulate while
neutralizing a static charge. Anti-static
chemicals provide a more permanent solution.
