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 LP Static Neutralizing Bar


The next level of Easy 

 The first of its kind, the IQ Easy LP Bar is engineered to be the most compact and powerful ionizing bar with built-in high voltage power. Its high output power allows it to achieve the lowest possible residual charges in a wide range of applications.

 ·         In high-speed web applications, it offers superior close-range ionization with the ability to mount to ground for unsurpassed performance in tight spaces.

 ·         In assembly applications, it provides long-range, balanced ionization—equal quantities of positive and negative ionization—for advanced performance where decay time tests are required.
