CONVEYOSTAT IN-LINE IONIZER

2. DESCRIPTION

Simco-Ion’s Conveyostat Systems are designed to provide in-line static 

elimination for neutralizing static charges on materials in pneumatic conveying 

systems. In-line ionization eliminates clogs caused by static charge buildup 

within the conveying system. Once the charges are neutralized, products flow 

freely and productivity increases. 
Conveyostat’s are typically mounted at the input to a cyclone or collection 

vessel so that trim or other conveyed materials are neutralized as they pass 

through the unit. 

Features

•  Ionization prevents pneumatic conveying systems from becoming 

jammed 

•  Dual-phase ion generation ensures high neutralization rates 
•  Stainless steel construction
•  Available flangeless, flanged, or QF bead connection
•  Available in standard and custom sizes
