Abstract
In a conveyor belt system, a static dissipative sprocket constructed of a static dissipative plastic material creates a path of conveyance for dissipating static electricity between a conveyor belt and a grounded drive shaft. The static dissipative sprocket includes an attachment collar incorporated into the sprocket as a single unitary component. The static dissipative sprocket can include a set screw and metal insert to assist in the transfer of static electricity from the static dissipative sprocket to the drive shaft.
