The Answer for Static Control

The Model 3700 Controller used with the TAKK Ionstorm can be adjusted to handle high static charges in either polarity, or set to balanced outputs for most applications. The balanced output can be set to 80:20 in each polarity to meet the needs of the application.

As applications get more sophisticated and applications more demanding, companies such as Meech are using higher levels of technology to provide static control solutions. "One of the latest developments in static control is the ability to have closed-loop feedback systems," reports Fyffe. "This is a very niche area where some converters require their ionizing equipment to actually 'read' the static charge on the web and to adjust itself to compensate for the static charges. While these types of systems are quite costly, they are finding a home in the high-end converters that need to have as low residual charge as possible."
