Eliminate static electricity from surfaces with this air jet system

| By Chemical Engineering

Exair

The new static-eliminating blowoff station (photo) delivers a concentrated flow of ionized air to remove dust and other contaminants from a charged surface. It is ideal for benchtop and machine mounting to clean parts and eliminate the static electricity charge that attracts dust and contaminants. The system minimizes compressed air use by inducing surrounding airflow at a ratio of 5:1. The airstream carries static-eliminating ions to the targeted surface, neutralizing the charge in less than half a second. A flexible hose that holds its position keeps the airflow aimed at a specific spot until physically bent or moved to another position. The magnetic base allows easy mounting and includes a foot pedal valve for hands-free operation. Applications include cleaning products and containers, as well as removing contaminants from parts prior to surface coating, painting, screen printing or ink jetting. — Exair Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio
