Ionised air blowers are used to neutralise plastic film or three-dimensional plastic products, like injection moulded automotive parts. The main purpose is to prevent dust attraction to the products. Dust particles can stick to the product surface and cause quality problems to the final product. Ionised air blowers are applied to make sure personnel does not receive any unpleasant shocks.
The main advantage of Simco-ION ionised air blowers is that the generated ions are blown directly towards the electrostatically charged product. Emitters create ionised air and integrated ventilators blow the ionised air towards the product. Because the air covers the complete product, ionisation is effective on the complete surface of the product. The air volume can be adjusted on the blowers. Additional air inlet filters can be applied to clean incoming air and ensure optimal ionisation results.
There are different types of Simco-ION ionised air blowers available, depending on required range and operational width. Special ionised air blowers versions for explosion-hazardous environments are available as well.
The XC2 Blower is designed for use with sensitive electronic components where electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause a problem. The XC2 can be used during inspection, testing and in assembly environments. The XC2 can also be used where static electricity causes problems such as attracting dirt to the product, misalignment of small parts due to electrostatic “jumping”, and the undesirable adhesion of plastic films due to electrostatic charge.
The VolumION is a robust ionising air blower with an effective ionising width of 500 mm. The VolumION consists of a motor, two fans and an ionisation unit. Ambient air is drawn on two sides and blown off along three anti-static bars. The air flow that is drawn in is adjustable on both sides. This ionising air blower is ideal for long range neutralising winding processes of paper and film webs. The air inlets can be fitted with a special filter.
The HP-N-EX ionising air blower consists of a motor and a fan. The ambient air is drawn from one side and blown off along an anti-static bar. The effective ionising width is 500 mm. This ionisation blower has been approved for use in certain explosion-hazardous environments. The power unit is integrated in the anti-static bar.
