Long Range Static Control
TAKK's Jupiter Model 3100 uses advanced pulsed DC technology whereby dedicated positive and negative emitters produce pulses of ions that help propel ions away from the bar toward static laden surfaces. This system provides a high degree of static neutralization with very fast static decay performance at distances up to 60 inches. The Jupiter features a rigid construction and is available in 24˝, 30˝, 40˝, 50˝, 60˝, and 70˝ lengths. A 24 V input power supply is provided or optionally, it can be wired directly to existing 24 V machine supplies. Simplicity of installation and operation make it highly suitable for both packaging industry OEMs and end-users. www.takk.com
Double-Nip Web Cleaner
Polymag Tek's 6RNWC-CD web cleaner is designed to remove loose particulate contamination from a moving web. The four Polymag® Tek Blue-S contact cleaning rolls (CCRs) provide a double nip, which contacts both sides of the web as it moves through the unit. Surface contamination is transferred from the web to the CCRs, which are continuously cleaned by two pre-sheeted adhesive tape rolls. When the tape rolls become saturated, a layer of tape can be easily removed via the side access drawer slides. Each tape rolls contains 66 linear feet of adhesive tape. The double-nip provides a calculated contact cleaning efficiency of up to 99.9 percent. www.polymagtek.com
Static Neutralization
Simco-Ion's PerforMAX Easy, with an integrated high-voltage power supply, provides a high degree of static neutralization in a space-saving design. To immediately notify operators of the bar's operating status, the system features two LED lights at the end of the static bar. The latest version features an alarm output that can control a variety of low power devices to allow for remote sensing of the bar alarm status. To accommodate different applications, PerforMAX Easy is available in a Speed and Hybrid variety—for fast webs or farther distances—as well as offering over 60 bar lengths. www.simco-ion.com
Static Monitor
Monroe Electronics' Model 177A Static Monitor is an intrinsically safe, multi-channel field meter system available for long-term, unattended monitoring of static levels at critical points within industrial processes. It provides real-time monitoring of static charge accumulation at up to four locations. It includes programmable output alarms to warn when static levels exceed safe operating limits, and accepts up to four Model 1036 electric-field-sensing probes that can be mounted up to 1,000 feet from the Model 177A using optional extension cables. www.monroe-electronics.com
Contact-Free Cleaner
Doyle Systems' new contact-free cleaning system is based on a new method that allows for much higher air velocities at the extraction point and combines the latest advances in aerodynamic airflow technology. Because of this, the system is able to draw an increased acceleration of air along the surface area of the substrate, which enables it to remove loose debris as well as trapped debris under the boundary layer of air. It is especially applicable to "scratch-sensitive" materials, such as plastics (PET, PE, PLA, PHA), films, foils, and laminates. www.doylesystems.com
Static Elimination Bar
Meech International introduced its static elimination bar, the Hyperion 971, at Pack Expo. Designed for labelling, packaging, and converting applications, it features the reliable, pulsed DC technology used by the existing 976 bar, with an improved design that is more resilient to the build-up of contamination which naturally occurs during use. The 971 static bar has shock-less emitters, making it safe for operators to handle. Available in a choice of lengths up to 4 m, the bar operates up to 15 KV as standard and provides highly effective long-range ionization typically from distances of 200 to 1,000 mm. www.meech.com
