Standard Ion Air Knife

EXAIR’s Standard Ion Air Knife is an effective way to eliminate static. Like its “super” counterpart, the Standard Ion Air Knife removes static electricity from plastics, webs, sheet stock and other surfaces where tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks are a problem.

This ionizer uses our original Standard Air Knife to carry ions from an ionizing bar to the charged surface – up to 20 feet (6.1m) away. Though not as efficient as our Super Ion Air Knife (40:1 air amplification), the Standard Ion Air Knife (30:1 air amplification) still provides fast static decay and strong blowoff force for cleaning. Force can be adjusted from a “blast” to a “breeze”.The Standard Ion Air Knife is electrically powered, is shockless and has no moving parts.

When air consumption and noise level are not critical to the application, the lower cost makes the Standard Ion Air Knife a good choice. (To compare the Super Ion Air Knife and Standard Ion Air Knife, see the performance table on the Super Ion Air Knife page and the performance table for the Standard Ion Air Knife, below.)

Compressed air inlets are provided on each end of the Standard Ion Air Knife. For long spans, multiple Standard Ion Air Knives can be mounted end-to-end. This produces an air gap at the connection end of about 2″ (51mm). (If no air gap is desired, use the Super Ion Air Knife.) Special length Ionizing Bars up to 119″ (3.02m) are available for multiple air knife applications.
