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 Power Control Station

The core of the IQ Power System is the Control Station which includes a full color touch screen designed with an intuitive interface and user-friendly features that help you monitor and control the system globally or by device.

The Control Station provides information you can rely on; including system name, status, output and current. Also shown are upstream and sensor bar data for operator safety and verification.

The Control Station offers upstream and downstream charge readings. Using the Sensor Bar allows the output of the power supply to be adjusted dynamically resulting in optimized static neutralization. 

The Control Station incorporates several relay output choices to suit desired alarm methods for streamlined operation and maximum productivity. Global relays as well as individual IQ Power BPS relays are accessible for both warning and fault user selectable alarm thresholds.

Features and Benefits

  • Full PLC integration
  • Data logging and retrieval
  • 10” full color touchscreen
  • User set alarm thresholds
  • 10 unique device addresses
  • Monitor static bar cleanliness, ion output, and bar status; monitor static charge with the Sensor bar

Data logging is sometimes necessary in critical areas. Therefore, the IQ Power Control Station incorporates user selectable time interval data points in addition to event logging capabilities. Couple that with simplified data retrieving methods via USB or FTP for ultimate convenience. The Control Station provides operating details of each device in the system upon clicking on the individual icons from the Global View screen. Device details include system name, status, output and current. Also shown are upstream and downstream charge indicators for operator safety and verification. An optional web speed encoder can provide automatic web speed readings if desired.
