<p>Apparatus (10) for destaticising and cleaning partially assembled items being transported on a continuously movable line, the apparatus comprising a housing (12) which substantially surrounds the continuously movable line, the housing having an entrance (14) and an exit (18) for the continuously movable line; static reduction means (20) which provides a static reduction zone (22) positioned within the housing through which the continuously movable line passes; air input means (24,26) which provides air input into the housing, air circulation (28) within the housing, and an air curtain (27) through which the continuously movable line passes; and air exhaust means (30,32,34) which exhausts air from within the housing; the volumeric input of air provide by the air input means being substantially equal to the volumeric output of air exhausted by the air exhaust means such that substantially no movement of air occurs at the entrance to and exit from the housing. The air input means removes substantially all dust and/or other foreign particles from the partially assembled items and holds them in suspension in the circulating air before being exhausted. Static charge can be reduced by in excess of 50%.</p> |
