Static Control Solutions For Plastic Applications

In the plastics industry static charge can cause machines to jam, parts to stick to each other, and contamination which can increase product defects that waste time and money. Materials are becoming increasingly thin and sensitive, while processes are becoming faster and more lean. Ensuring your process runs smoothly is becoming critical to guarantee your customers get a quality product. Simco-Ion solves problems for a variety of plastics applications by offering custom static control, contamination control, and web cleaning solutions. Our products are ideal for many plastic applications including:

  • Laminating
  • Blow molding
  • Film extrusion
  • Thermoforming
  • In-mold labeling
  • Injection molding 
  • Chill roller pinning 
  • Trim collection coating

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.
