EXAIR Ion Air Cannon

EXAIR’s Ion Air Cannon eliminates static electricity and cleans at distances up to 4.6 m, with no moving parts. It is suitable for benchtops, machine mounting and those hard-to-reach spaces that require a concentrated flow of static-eliminating ions.

The product has undergone independent laboratory tests to certify it meets the safety, health and environmental standards of the USA, the European Union and Canada that are required to attain the CE and UL marks. It is also RoHS compliant. Design features include a metal-armoured high-voltage cable to protect against abrasion and cuts, a replaceable emitter point, an integrated ground connection and electromagnetic shielding.

The device incorporates EXAIR’s Super Air Amplifier that minimises compressed air use by inducing surrounding airflow at a ratio of 22:1. The amplified airflow carries the ions to the target, making it possible for the product to eliminate static charges in less than half a second. Air volume and velocity are controllable from a ‘breeze’ to a ‘blast’ to gently wipe or forcefully blow away contaminants.

The product comes with a sturdy stand that incorporates a swivel adjustment for directing the airflow. A hose or tube can be easily connected to the air intake to draw air from another area. The electrical ion source is shockless and there is no radioactive element. Applications include bag opening, sheet separation, cleaning moulded parts, pre-paint dust removal, package cleaning and container neutralisation.
