Abstract
Apparatus to neutralize static electricity present on the surface of containers (′) and/or of nests () comprising a plurality of seatings () according to a positioning matrix (M) and able to receive, resting on them, an ordered group of said containers (), wherein the apparatus comprises an extraction member () configured to engage at least one part of said ordered group of containers (′), in order to perform at least one relative lifting movement with respect to the nest () so as to at least partly extract the containers (′) engaged from the respective seatings (), and at least one ionizing device () configured to be relatively mobile with respect to the extracted containers and/or with respect to the nest (), while said group of containers (′) extracted is in said raised condition, along a path that develops in the proximity of the containers (′) extracted and/or in the proximity of said nest (), so as to ionize the surrounding space and neutralize static electricity present on the surface of the containers (′) in the raised condition and/or of the nest ().
