This co. offers a complete line of modular components for static neutralization. Patented Virtual AC™ Static Neutralizer systems are said to be highly effective in unwind/rewind, bagmaking, coating, and printing operations. These long-range neutralizers control static charges up to 8 in. away for web span applications, up to 20 in. away on unwind/rewind installations, and on high-speed webs at 2,500 fpm and faster. The Virtual AC 8004 control module provides real-time system feedback to ensure operator confidence and optimum productivity. Ion Industrial, 888/310-3334, www.ion.com/industrial

The new Model 2000 contact cleaning system can remove particles down to 1 micron in size from a moving web. This fully automatic cleaner web speeds to 2,000 fpm and uses a separate, smaller CCR to continuously and automatically traverse the length of the larger CCR that is cleaning the web. The smaller CCR is then automatically cleaned at pre-set intervals by a disposable moist cloth roll. Simco Industrial Static Control, 215/822-6401, fax: 215/822-3795, www.simco.biz

This co. provides curtain air ionizers made to eliminate static problems experienced by manufacturers engaged in a wide variety of converting operations including winding, extrusion, slitting, coating, plastic forming, sheeting and general assembly and production. Available in six portable models, each ionizer unit establishes an extra wide and deep field or curtain of highly concentrated ions, completely neutralizing positive and negative static from processing equipment and product surfaces.

The single sided tacky roller cleaning machine provides an unequaled system for continuous contact cleaning. Specially-formulated polymer rollers lift and transfer contaminants from your product surface to adhesive rolls. No special chemicals, wipes or handling is needed.

The WSI Non-Contact Micro Cleaner removes particles as small as 20 microns. Its unique ultrasonic nozzle superimposes high frequency pulses over a high-pressure airflow. This pulsation breaks up the boundary layer formed on a moving web and removes the smaller trapped particles. Unlike contact cleaners, there are no brushes to load up with particles and re-deposit on the web and there is no scratching or scuffing of the substrate.

The P-2001-I Induction Nuclestat™ Ionizing Bar is designed to eliminate the high static levels, which develop in web and converting applications. This ionization technology is said to make the P-2001-I ideal for applications where a source of ignition would not be appropriate. The P-2001-I features brushes made of fine-gauge stainless steel wire along its length. These grounded brushes boost the efficiency by producing additional ionization in the electric field between the bar and the charged material. The dual mode of ionization allows for increased web speeds, lower static levels, and a safer work environment, reports co. This bar is self-powered and does not require a high-voltage power supply.
