New Static Generator from Meech Demonstrates Greater Versatility

Meech International announces the launch of the Model 992v3 Static Generator. This new product further advances Meech’s position as a leader in static control solutions. The new 30kV Model 992v3 can be operated in either Constant Voltage or Constant Current Mode to generate a controlled level of static charge that will create a temporary bond between materials, one of which must be insulative. The addition of Constant Current Mode allows the performance of the Model 992v3 to be optimised for a variety of applications and a diverse range of materials. The result is maximum pinning effect without the risk of overload.
