Exair 8048 48" Gen4 Ionizing Bar

Features:

• EXAIR's Gen4 Ionizing Bar requires no compressed air and eliminates static electricity on surfaces within 4" (102 mm) of the bar.
• The electrically powered Gen4 Ionizing Bar is compact, allowing it to fit in confined machine spaces where the charge is generated.
• It is ideal for surfaces that cannot be disrupted by airflow.
• It is commonly used on paper, film, and plastic materials that attract dust and foreign particles, which can ruin product appearance, cause tearing or jamming, and shock personnel.

Applications:

• Labeling
• Bag making - form and fill
• Neutralizing shrink wrap
• Sheet fed and web presses
• Packaging
• Converting machinery
• Neutralizing slitting operations
• Textiles
• Screen printing

Advantages:

• Significantly improved performance when positioned 2" or closer to surface
• Capable of minimizing static charge from up to 4" away
• Rugged metal armored and electromagnetically shielded cable
• Integrated ground eliminates additional ground connection
• Durable stainless steel connections to Power Supply
• Low cost
• Rapid static decay
• Compact
• Effective up to 4" (102 mm)
• Shockless, non-radioactive
• Rugged design for industrial environments
• Easy to install, equipped with mounting flange
• Low maintenance
• Fully assembled

How it Work:

• The electromagnetically shielded power cable (1) carries the 5kVrms power supply output to each capacitively coupled stainless steel emitter point (2) of the Gen4 Ionizing Bar.
• An integrated ground wire (3) within the power cable creates a discharge path from the emitter points to the bar channel (4).
• The discharge at each emitter charges the molecules of the gases of the surrounding room air, resulting in a shower of ions that are positively and negatively charged (5).
• If the material surface has a negative charge, it will attract the positive ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar and become balanced or neutralized.
• If the material surface has a positive charge, it will attract the negative ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar to become balanced or neutralized.
• The voltage potential at each emitter is high enough to ionize the surrounding air without generating a shock when any of the emitters are touched.
