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 Static Neutralizing Bars

IQ Power Static Neutralizing bars are offered in over 85 different lengths and three types to suit your application based on the web speeds or operating distance. All bars include rugged mounting hardware and come standard with 10ft of power cable. Extension cords are available in 10ft, 30ft, and 50ft lengths for situations that require long power cable.  All bars feature Tungsten emitters for extreme charge conditions. 

  • Speed Static Bars are engineered to neutralize static charges on webs traveling up to 3,000 fpm and are mounted approximately 4” from the material to be neutralized. Our IQ Easy bar design includes an integrated high voltage supply powered by 24 VDC 
  • Hybrid Static Bars are designed for varied installations up to 18” away. 
  • Distance Static Bars are specially engineered to provide powerful ionization for distances up to 30 inches from the web in applications where installing a static bar close to the web is not an option.
