ProPak China 2013: Static elimination for complex installations

Meech is showcasing Hyperion 929IPS static control system, which is ideal for converting, packaging and labelling applications. Powered by 24V DC, the 929IPS is a plug and play bar that provides excellent ionisation for short to medium range applications, with target distances varying from 50mm to 500mm. The improved design makes the bar more resilient to the build-up of contamination which occurs during its use and also allows for easier cleaning.

The static bar is mounted with titanium emitter pins, which are resistively coupled to the high voltage supply. The resistive coupling makes the pins shockless to touch, which means the 929IPS is always safe for operators to handle. Another feature the bar shares with the long-range 971IPS is the Ion Current Monitoring technology that includes performance alarms and cleaning alerts.

Compatibility with the Hyperion BarMaster allows the engineer to modify the output settings, depending on their requirements. This adjustability is especially useful for close tolerance applications such as RFID converting machinery, or for improving long-range performance. This option is unique – this monitoring level of performance is not provided by any of Meech’s main competitors, who have no equivalent method of adjustment to provide optimum performance.

Finally, the 929IPS is not only the most advanced of Meech’s new bars but it is also IP66 rated, which means it can be used in environments where they may get wet during washdown or through spillage, such as food packaging applications.
