Effective spot cleaning

November 2000 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

Exair's ion air gun combines fast static decay rates with low compressed air consumption. It is an effective way to remove static, contaminants and dust from three-dimensional parts prior to assembly, packaging, painting or finishing. The ion air gun neutralises static electricity and cleans at distances up to 4,6 m.

The device induces surrounding airflow through the gun at a ratio of 5:1, minimising compressed air use and maximising ionised airflow. The force can be adjusted from a 'blast' to a 'breeze'. A comfortable grip and hand position allows hours of continuous use without fatigue.

The ion air gun is quiet, lightweight and features a hanger hook for easy storage. The 3 m shielded power cable is flexible, designed for rugged industrial use. It incorporates a high velocity air jet and electrically energised emitter point. A small amount of compressed air is injected into the air jet (1) inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air (2) to pass through it. The emitter point (shockless) at the discharge end of the gun (3) ionises the entire airstream. The result is a high volume flow of ionised air (4) capable of neutralising high static charges in fractions of a second. An optional filter and regulator cleans the compressed air and allows infinite adjustment of airflow and velocity.
