The issue:

Static charges in lens manufacturing lines can have several negative effects, potentially leading to defects in the lenses and disruptions in the production process. Some of the primary negative effects of static charges in lens manufacturing include dust and particle attraction, lenses sticking together, uneven coating application, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) risks to operators and controls. This can lead to quality control issues, production delays and safety concerns.

The remedy:

Just blowing ordinary compressed air won't effectively clean dust particles stuck to the lens due to high static ions. Install Valstat IN10G ionising air nozzles as depicted below. Valstat IN10G ionising nozzles convert air into ionised air with millions of ions, effectively cleaning and removing static charges, resulting in a spotlessly clean lens. Quality and productivity are thereby enhanced.
