Static Neutralizer System suits hazardous locations.
May 15, 2009 -
Suited for hazardous location printing and coating operations, ION POWER(TM) HL-Type Static Neutralizer controls static charges over range of 8 in. and at web speeds over 2,000 fpm. System facilitates networking of multiple neutralizing stations, protecting equipment, product, and operators. Series 8155 POWER MODULES connect with 8300 COMMUNICATOR modules through 2-wire RS-485 bus to transfer real-time data on neutralizer status, system diagnostics, and static control performance.
Advanced Static Neutralizers for Hazardous Areas Connect to Networks
MKS Ion Industrial's new HL-Type Intelligent Static Neutralizers for hazardous location printing and coating operations greatly simplify system networking of multiple neutralizing stations, providing superior protection of equipment, product and operators.
(Andover, Mass.) - In coating and printing operations, flammable vapors pose significant risk to workers and facilities should electrostatic discharge
cause an arc or spark. The new ION POWER(TM) HLType static neutralization system from MKS Ion Industrial is designed for long-range static neutralization in these hazardous locations while conveniently integrating with existing industrial networks to bring real time information to the operator's fingertips.
The new 8155 POWER MODULES connect with the 8300 COMMUNICATOR modules through a
two-wire RS-485 bus to transfer real-time data on the neutralizer status, system diagnostics and static control performance. The 8300 COMMUNICATOR, provides information through the network to a PLC or host computer using several of the popular fieldbus protocols, including Profibus, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and others using Fieldbus-specific Anybus-CompactCom interface modules. MKS Ion Industrial's 8001HL
neutralizing bars are approved for use in Class I, Division 1 and 2 and Group D areas and feature tungsten electrodes for maximum longevity and ion output. The HL Termination Box simplifies high-voltage wiring inside the classified areas.
The new ION POWER system builds on the patented Virtual AC(TM) ionization technology and
innovative use of advanced, solid-state engineering captured in compact plug-and-play communication/control modules that easily interface with industrial networks and automated machinery. The new ION POWER HL-Type neutralizers can effectively control static charges over a range of 8 inches and at web speeds of over 2,000 fpm.
MKS Ion Systems has more than 20 years of experience in the design and manufacture of ionization products for the control of static charge in manufacturing processes. Having previously and primarily served high tech manufacturing, Ion Systems formed MKS Ion Industrial to service the paper and film converting and packaging industries in 1997.
