Intelligent Static Neutralization for Pneumatically Conveyed Material Handling Systems
Simco-Ion’s IQ Power BPS-C power supply allows for advanced monitoring and control of static eliminators within its Conveyorstat systems.
Simco-Ion has introduced the IQ Power BPS-C power supply, which reportedly allows for advanced monitoring and control of static eliminators located within the Simco-Ion Conveyostat. The new system is expected to drive efficiency gains for converters by intelligently managing the ionizers within their trim systems.
When connected to the IQ Power Control Station, the BPS-C allows for the static elimination system to communicate directly with a PLC, via one of six supported protocols. This enables information like bar cleanliness, ion output (in mA) and ionizer status to be reported and recorded at the PLC. The BPS-C is backward compatible with all Conveyostat Systems manufactured after 2015. Older systems are upgraded via easily replaceable static bars inside the Conveyostat. This means that high-performance static elimination is guaranteed throughout the life of your trim system.
Conveyostat systems are designed to provide in-line ionization for neutralizing static charges on materials passing through pneumatic conveying systems to prevent them from becoming jammed. The BPS-C, which powers the Conveyostat, was designed to bring static elimination for these systems into the 21st century.
