Ion-O-Vac Cleaner

Ion-O-Vac Mark I systems are designed to remove  particulate down to 20-microns in size. The Mark I eliminates any static charge  and lifts spray powder and other particulate from the sheets as they pass over  the impression cylinder. As an example, some Simco customers have increased  production from 2,000 to 10,000 sheets between wash-ups.

Removal of the  particulate not only improves production speeds, it tremendously lowers the  incidence of hickeys and voids. By removing the static charge from the sheets,  "crows feet" and "lightning tracks" are also reduced or eliminated  entirely.

Ion-O-Vac Mark I sheet cleaners are used extensively in the  printing industry on Heidelberg, Komori, MAN Roland, Mitsubishi, Adast and other  sheet-fed presses. Designs for many presses already exist and custom engineering  is available to manufacture a unit to accommodate modifications to your  press.

Ion-O-Vac Mark I systems can also be used for cleaning moving webs of material.  It is required that the unit be positioned over a roller to accomplish web cleaning as the web must be supported against the high pressure cleaning method employed in the Mark I system.  In the event a roller cannot be used in the desired mounting position, refer to the Neutro-Vac System.

Standard features include a canister collector with cartridge  filter, pre-filter and motor starter, Ion-O-Vac head with static eliminator,  brushes and brackets.
