SubscribeStatic Elimination Airknife Systems from Air Control Industries (ACI) are simply constructed by the addition of a static bar to the knife adjacent to the air discharge, and operate by producing an electrical field that causes air molecules in the vicinity of the bar to separate into positive and negative ions.
These ions are picked up by the airknife air stream and propelled into the work area where they are attracted to, neutralizing any static charge present on the product.
Typically, static elimination systems operate at 75 and 100 mbar. The combined effect of the generated airflow and ionization produce a high velocity sheet of ionized air that can be used for a variety of cleaning and static neutralizing applications in the packaging, printing, electronics and automotive industries.
