What Is The Super Ion Air Knife?
EXAIR´s Super Ion Air Knife removes static electricity from plastics, webs, sheet stock and other product surfaces where tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks are a problem. The laminar sheet of air sweeps surfaces clean of static, particulate, dust and dirt. Production speeds, product quality and surface cleanliness can improve dramatically.
Why the Super Ion Air Knife?
The Super Ion Air Knife floods an area or surface with static eliminating ions - up to 20 feet (6.1m) away. A uniform airflow across its length will not cause misalignments to critical surfaces such as webs. Force can be adjusted from a "blast" to a "breeze". The Super Ion Air Knife is electrically powered, is shockless and has no moving parts. It also requires only 3.7 SCFM of compressed air per foot of length at 5 PSIG (105 SLPM per 300mm of length at 0.3 BAR). Sound level is surprisingly quiet at 50 dBA for most applications.

How the Super Ion Air Knife Works
Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Super Ion Air Knife. The flow is directed to a precise, slotted orifice. As the primary airflow exits, it creates a balanced sheet of air across the entire length that immediately pulls in surrounding room air (2). An electrically powered ionizing bar (3) fills the curtain of air with positive and negative charges. The airstream delivers these static eliminating ions to the product surface (4) where it is instantly neutralized and cleaned of dust and other particulates. |
