EXAIR Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife

EXAIR’s Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife eliminates static on plastics, webs, sheet stock and other product surfaces where tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks are a problem. It is said to eliminate static electricity 34% better at low inlet pressures, saving compressed air. Production speeds, product quality and surface cleanliness are thus improved.

Gen4 products have undergone independent laboratory tests to certify they meet the rigorous safety, health and environmental standards of the USA, European Union and Canada that are required to attain the CE and UL marks. They are also RoHS compliant. A selectable voltage power supply has been designed to operate Gen4 products, while design features include a metal armoured high-voltage cable to protect against abrasion and cuts, integrated ground connection and electromagnetic shielding.

The Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife incorporates EXAIR’s Super Air Knife, which minimises compressed air use by inducing surrounding airflow at a ratio of 40:1. The amplified airflow carries the ions to the target, making it possible to eliminate static charges in less than a half second. Air volume and velocity are controllable from a ‘breeze’ to a ‘blast’ to gently wipe or forcefully blow away debris.

Available in lengths ranging from 7.62 cm to 2.74 m, the product is suitable for applications including surface cleaning, neutralising plastics, bag opening, printing machinery, packaging operations and elimination of painful static electricity shocks. The electrical ion source is shockless and there is no radioactive element.
