Static Control Solutions For Packaging

Static charges can cause issues in many areas of packaging processes. Contamination control, quality problems, operator safety and process control are all areas of concern and are becoming more relevant as regulations become more stringent. Now more than ever, maintaining product quality and productivity contribute to the bottom line. Don't let dust and debris or static electricity prevent you from providing high quality packing for your customers. Simco-Ion provides solutions for your static problems with a variety static control and contamination eliminating products. Ideal to use in a variety of applications including:

  • Bottling
  • Labeling 
  • Trim collection
  • Over-wrapping
  • Thermoforming 
  • Package printing
  • Form, Fill and Seal operations

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.
