Medical & Pharmaceutical Solutions

Medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers operate in environments where contamination control, product quality, and process consistency are critical. From medical device assembly and injection molding to non-woven materials and packaging, even small amounts of static charge or particulate contamination can contribute to rejects, production delays, and inconsistent results.

Electrostatic charge can develop throughout manufacturing as plastic components, films, non-wovens, and other materials are handled, separated, conveyed, or assembled. This charge can attract dust and particles to critical surfaces, interfere with material handling, and create challenges even within controlled environments such as laminar flow hoods. Effective static control and particulate removal can help reduce contamination, improve process consistency, increase yields, and support more efficient production.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Applications

  • Medical Device Production & Assembly
    • Neutralize static during the assembly of catheters, tubing, plastic components, housings, and other medical devices to reduce particle attraction and help maintain cleaner product surfaces—even within laminar flow hoods and controlled environments.
  • Injection Molded Parts
    • Reduce static on molded plastic medical components to minimize dust and particulate attraction, improve part handling, and maintain cleaner surfaces for downstream assembly and packaging.
  • Medical Packaging
    • Control static and remove contamination from films, pouches, trays, blister materials, and other medical packaging to improve material handling, cleanliness, and packaging consistency.
  • Non-Woven Materials
    • Manage static during the production and converting of non-woven materials used in medical products, helping improve web handling, material positioning, and production efficiency.
  • Fluid Bags
    • Control static on films and other materials used in fluid and IV bag production to reduce particulate attraction and maintain cleaner surfaces throughout converting, assembly, and packaging.

Whether reducing particle attraction during device assembly, improving the handling of non-woven materials, or maintaining cleaner medical packaging surfaces, Simco-Ion provides static control and particulate removal solutions designed to improve quality, consistency, and production efficiency.

IQ Easy Air Assist

 

Simco-Ion's IQ Easy Air Assist bar is designed to improve discharge performance at a longer range of distances by moving ions to the target while using significantly less compressed air than a conventional air knife.

The shockless IQ Easy Air Assist static neutralizing bar combines a high voltage power supply and static neutralizer into one integrated design. An air tube runs the length of the bar between high densities of long-life tungsten emitters. Small perforations in the tube release jets of air, picking up ions produced by both polarities.

The IQ Easy Air Assist bar is designed for rugged industrial use with a high pressure, shatter-proof Polycarbonate air tube that separates the compressed air from the high voltage. It requires only a 24VDC input from your machine. Straight and angled air fittings are supplied.
