Discover how you can apply Simco-ION products in your pharmaceutical manufacturing business
Applications for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Processes for medical devices, can be affected by the build-up of static charge. Simco-Ion products are available for many applications, such as injection molding processes, flexible packaging, solution manufacturing, parts assembly and thermoformed packaging.

Used devices:
Bloodbag Production
Unwinding a plastic web generates static electricity and the film will be contaminated by attracting ambient dust. Using a Simco-Ion Web Cleaning System removes the dust from the inside of the film, right before the two layers come together and the bloodbag is sealed.

Used devices:
Thermoformed Trays
The thermoforming process from film into trays, containers, etc. causes high electrostatic charges. These electrostatic charges on these products obviously will attract ambient dust, which contaminates the trays. This may even result in rejects.
When an anti-static bar and webcleaner are installed the static charge will immediately be neutralized and the surface is cleaned. Re-attraction of ambient dust is prevented.

Used devices:
Electrostatical Charging for Medical Filters
Simco-Ion provides electrostatical Generators up to 60kV for the electrostatical charging of non-woven filter materials to reach better filtration results by attracting/bounding the contamination tot the filtermaterial.
Examples:
- Filter material for industrial use (for dust particles and vapor/vapour filtration)
- Filter material for medical use (for mouth masks/caps/lab coats/overalls)
Manufacturers of non-woven filter materials and producers of end-products in this industry are using Simco-Ion high-voltage generators to charge the filtermaterial. The use of electrostatical charging by means of high-voltage-generators at this application servers two purposes:
- To charge the filter material to reach better filtration results by attracting/bounding the contamination to the material when used at the end-user
- To bound (orientate) several layers and materials together, to reach higher production speeds, so higher machinery outputs
How?
To charge filter fiber you can uses the CM5-30 high voltage charging generator, in combination with the HDR charging bar is a proven solution.
The use of above mentioned charging equipment increases the output from the machine and the filtration quality from the product so results in high quality competitive filter production.
We offer also a series of High Voltage Generators from 0-60kV ( KiloVolt) that can be used for this principle.

Used devices:
Vibration Bowl Feeders
Vibration bowl feeders are designed to feed individual components/parts for assembly on industrial production lines. They are used when a randomly sorted bulk package of small components must be fed (in a particular direction) into another machine one-by-one. Vibration bowl feeders come in many shapes and sizes and can be used in the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, electronics and packaging industries.
