1. BACKGROUND
NEOS
The standard NEOS Bars have become accepted as the most effective static eliminators in their respective classes:
from NEOS 12, which is the most effective short range Bar available
to NEOS 30, which is the most powerful long range Bar available
Please refer to the comparison between the Simco ThunderION 2.0 and the NEOS 30 which was sent to you in February 2019. It
shows that the NEOS 30 is comprehensively better than the market leader at all distances.
Frequency and Long Range Static Neutralisation
It is useful to repeat these notes, as they are essential for understanding the benets of the NEOS 30 OEM and where it ts into the
NEOS range.
The method for neutralising at long distance without air assistance is to reduce the frequency of the ion emission so that it
produces bigger elds of ions which propel each other outwards. This is the basic operation for all pulsed DC static neutralisation.
Generally:
- short distances are neutralised with higher frequency – for example, 50 Hz on the 3014 and 3024F
- longer distances are neutralised with slower frequency – for example, 5 Hz on the 3024L
When NEOS Bars are used in intelligent operating modes (AN or AL) they respond to the polarity of the electric eld from the
object and change the wave pattern to output more ions of the opposite polarity. This effect also compensates to a large degree
for changes in distance within the sensing range. The unipolar elds in AN and AL modes can be larger and so act like slower
frequency elds.
In AL mode the NEOS 30 can sense a strong electric eld at distances up to about 750 mm. In this range there will effectively be
automatic compensation for distance.
If the electric eld is too weak, usually because the target is too far away, a Manual setting may produce better neutralisation. For
example, the NEOS 30 in setting M1 (0.5 Hz) neutralises at distances over 750 mm more efciently than in AL mode.
What if the object to be neutralised moves from a short distance to a distance over 750 mm?
For example, from 200 mm to over 1m?
The NEOS 30 OEM has been developed to deal with this problem.

2. KEY NEW FEATURES
The essential and unique feature of a NEOS 30 OEM Bar is that it receives a signal from the PLC of the machine which indicates the
distance between the charged material and the Bar. This tells the NEOS 30 OEM to adjust the frequency to the optimal setting for
that distance.
In this way the output frequency of the Bar is directly controlled by the PLC of the production machine without the need for
additional sensors.
It results in the best possible static neutralisation for difcult applications.
3. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
NEOS 30 OEM has been developed for dynamic applications where the distance between the charged material and the Bar
changes signicantly during the manufacturing process.
A large part of this market will be where winders and unwinders are used. High productivity, modern machinery in the converting,
plastic, paper and related industries is designed to handle bigger reels of material, often with automated changeover.
This means that the distance between the static eliminator and the material can vary over a large range. This is where the NEOS 30
OEM has unrivalled advantages.
Typical Examples:
Winders:
A
B
Lay-on Roller
At the start of the wind, position A, the material is over 1 m
from the NEOS 30 Bar.
At the end of the wind, position B, the material is 200 mm
from the NEOS 30 Bar.
The NEOS 30 OEM can automatically change frequency to
cope with this change in distance.
Turret Rewinder
If the reel stays in a farther position before changeover for a
signicant period of time, then a NEOS 30 OEM will be able
to neutralise the reel in both positions.

3. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Unwinders:
Winders and unwinders are found on hundreds of different types of production machinery.
Unwinder
The NEOS Bar is 200 mm from the surface of a new reel, but the
core is over 1 m away.
Usually the static charge becomes more severe as the reel
reduces in size. It is important that the ionisation reaches the reel
when it is small.

4. WHERE DOES NEOS 30 OEM FIT INTO THE NEOS RANGE?
NEOS 30 OEM does not replace the existing NEOS 30 Bar, but provides a powerful new ionisation system to cope with the difcult
applications where the target distance changes substantially.
It is a long range static eliminator which can automatically adjust its ionised output to provide optimal performance at distances
varying from 200 mm to 1500 mm.
The standard NEOS 30 has settings for most industrial requirements (see NEOS Distributor Manual):
The NEOS 30 OEM can be used for all of these distance ranges. Please see Performance section for more details.
NEOS 30 SETTING FOR DISTANCES
AN 200 mm - 500 mm
AL 300 mm - 750 mm
M3 200 mm - 500 mm
M2 300 mm - 750 mm
M1 500 mm - 1000 mm
NEOS 30 OEM 200 mm - 1500 mm
5. WHY IS IT CALLED OEM?
It is called OEM because it has been developed for, and with the assistance of, OEMs and we see that its main market will be with
machinery manufacturers.
We can customise the output to meet the special requirements of each type of OEM machine. For example, if a machine has a
requirement for neutralisation at a distance from 500 mm to 1300 mm, we can optimise the ionisation for this distance range.
This gives our distributors and sales teams a great opportunity to work closely with OEMs and offer them unique benets for
their machines.
