Web and Sheet Cleaning Systems
The converting and printing of paper, carton board, corrugated board, film, foil, plastics and other materials all have one thing in common ... contaminants that reduce the overall quality of the material and reduce the operating performance of your machinery.

Printing Industry

Profitable quality printing depends in part on clean stock.  Even the cleanest of stock carries spray powder, paper dust, lint, loose paper fibers, and paper chips into the press.  Roll stock also carries slitter dust, paper lint and loose paper fibers into the printing process as delivered from the manufacturer.  As the sheets and webs are fed through the printing stations, all of this particulate is deposited on the blankets and plates.  As the particulate accumulates, more frequent wash-ups are required, dramatically reducing production speeds.

Particulates that are not removed from the material or deposited on the blanket become part of the finished product.  This particulate leaves residual markings such as hickeys and voids in the printed image.

Converting Industry

Today’s competitive standards demand that products be completely free of contamination.  Slitting, coating and laminating operations are held to higher standards and converters are looking for solutions.

The process of converting paper and film generates dust, lint, powder, fuzz, and fibers.  This particulate becomes lodged on material surfaces and roll edges and is then transported directly to the customer.  Failure to reduce or eliminate the level of material contamination will lead to equipment downtime, increased maintenance, poorer quality product, and dissatisfied customers.

Simco has delivered thousands of cleaning systems to satisfied customers around  the world. We offer three products lines, Neutro-Vac and Ion-O-Vac, both of which  can remove particulate down to 100-microns in  size and newly introduced,  a system capable of cleaning down to 1 micron!

Neutro-Vac - Utilizes a low velocity, high volume vacuum  system, which makes it ideal for installation over unsupported webs, because the  material will not be pulled to the vacuum slot. The systems can be either  non-contact (the material being cleaned is not touched by brushes or other  mechanical methods) or contact style. Neutro-Vacs combine the power of a  compressed air blast, static eliminator and a high output exhaust head to agitate  the web, remove the static bond and evacuate the surface  particulate.

Ion-O-Vac - Utilizes a high velocity, low volume  vacuum system, which makes it ideal for installation over a roller or cylinder,  because the material is supported and will withstand aggressive vacuuming.  Ion-O-Vac heads are installed so that soft bristle brushes extend to lightly  touch the material.

Contact Cleaning Rolls - Contact Cleaning Rolls (CCRs) are polymeric covered rollers which offer an efficient method of web cleaning.  As the particles attached to the substrate make physical contact with the CCR, the particles are transferred to the CCR surface.  With a nip style arrangement, the CCR also squeezes out the boundary layer air attached to the substrate surface.  As a result, it is possible to achieve high efficiency cleaning (96%+) of small particles (<20micron) at higher web speeds.
