Ionisation tools: a bench-mark for dust control

Published: 17-Mar-2006


Static control specialist TBA Electro Conductive Products (ECP) has launched a new family of ionisation products designed to eliminate static in a wide range of applications, particularly in the electronics, printing and plastics sectors.

he new family comprises bench-top ionising air blowers, ionising guns and nozzles, an overhead ionising air blower, ionising bars and air curtains and a range of power supplies designed for use with the various products.

Bench-top ionising air blowers provide a portable, localised static elimination solution. The balanced ion stream they deliver provides quick neutralisation of static charges in the work area. In addition they feature a built-in emitter cleaner, adjustable speed control for the airflow, ionisation indicator light, integrated blower and power supply.

Ionising guns and nozzles are lightweight hand-held devices providing a concentrated flow of high-pressure ionised air. This allows highly localised cleaning of dust and dirt from sheet, mouldings etc. As the air is ionised, electrostatic potential on the target surface is neutralised, thus preventing dust from being attracted back to the surface.

Compressed air nozzles provide constant static elimination in hard-to-reach areas and can be used to eliminate troublesome electrostatic fields that may be causing machine failures, or to remove dust and prevent re-attraction.

Two overhead ionisers are designed to provide static elimination as part of a BS IEC 61340-5-1:1998 electro static protection system. They are even more effective when used with ECP 1580 series static safe benches.

Ion bars and air curtains provide a non-contact method of static elimination. These products are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including slitting, winding, printing and electronics, among others.
