Multiple production processes of paper, film, and foil materials create particles that can contaminate the web. Contact and separation of the web material with the machine rollers generates static electricity that results in an electrostatic adhesion, bonding contaminants to the surface of the web. The faster the web operates, the more complicated this problem becomes. Contaminated surfaces cause defects, which results in quality problems, costly rejects, and ultimately dissatisfied customers.
Neutro-Vac Systems combine the power of a compressed air blast, static elimination, brushes and a high exhaust head to agitate the web, remove the static bond and evacuate surface particulate down to 20 microns in size. The Neutro-Vac systems are ideal for installation over unsupported webs from 3" to 300" wide. No adjustment is required to accommodate a change in web width due to the characteristics of the Neutro-Vac head design. These systems are also designed with low maintenance in mind.
