Improved Medical Test Strip Handling
In the manufacture of medical-liquid test strips, chemically pre-treated card-like sheets are slit into slim strips of liquid testing tabs. When being funnelled into their final packaging containers, the statically charged lightweight strips can stick to each other and to the walls of the funnel.
In the manufacture of medical-liquid test strips, such as those used in haematology, chemically pre-treated card-like sheets are slit into slim strips of liquid testing tabs. Following conversion, the strips are decanted into their final packaging containers – usually tubes.
To squeeze the spread of strips into a narrow-necked vessel, the strips are delivered down a funnelling device. It is in the funnels where statically-charged lightweight strips can stick to each other and to the walls of the funnel.
Improved Medical Test Strip Handling - Select a problem:
By providing ionisation at the end of the delivery line from a short-range 3024 Compact, 3024 Ultra-Compact or a 1265 Single Point Ioniser, the test strips are neutralised and will fall easily into the container without sticking to each other or the walls of the funnel.
