Exair Anti-Static Ion Air Cannon

Exair’s Ion Air Cannon eliminates static electricity and cleans at distances up to 4.6 m, with no moving parts. It is suitable for benchtops, machine mounting and hard-to-reach spaces that require a concentrated flow of static-eliminating ions.

The product is CE, UL and RoHS compliant, and its design features include a metal-armoured high-voltage cable to protect against abrasion and cuts, a replaceable emitter point, integrated ground connection and electromagnetic shielding.

The cannon incorporates Exair’s Super Air Amplifier that minimises compressed air use by inducing surrounding airflow at a ratio of 22:1. The amplified airflow carries the ions to the target, making it possible for the cannon to eliminate static charges in less than a half second. Air volume and velocity are controllable from a ‘breeze’ to a ‘blast’ to gently wipe or forcefully blow away contaminants.

Available from Compressed Air Australia, the cannon comes complete with a sturdy stand that incorporates a swivel adjustment for directing the airflow. A hose or tube can be connected to the air intake to draw air from another area. The electrical ion source is shockless and there is no radioactive element. A selectable voltage power supply has been designed to operate the cannon.

Applications include bag opening, sheet separation, cleaning moulded parts, pre-paint dust removal, package cleaning and container neutralisation.
