Ionizing Bars

EXAIR's Ionizing Bars eliminate static cling on paper, film and plastics that can attract dust and foreign materials, ruin product appearance, produce tears or jamming, and zap personnel.
The electrically powered Ionizing Bar is compact, allowing it to fit in the confined spaces of machinery, where the charge is generated. A high concentration of positive and negative ions produce fast static decay, neutralizing any surface within 2" (51mm) of the bar.
The unique design of the shockless Ionizing Bar offers improved performance and reliability in industrial applications. Life expectancy has been extended by insertion molding the stainless steel ion emitters into a durable plastic. There are no openings or grooves to accumulate dirt that could cause shorting or arcing. A 5kV power source provides high performance, eliminating frequent burnouts commonly associated with 7kV bars.

The Ionizing Bar includes a five foot shielded cable with ground. A mounting flange is provided for easy installation and all components are fully assembled. Standard lengths up to 96" (2438mm) are available from stock and special lengths up to 120" (3.05m), are available by special order. EXAIR Model 7901, 7907, 7940 or 7941 Power Supply (5kV) is required for bar operation.

The ability to eliminate static can be greatly improved when attaching the Super Air Knife to the Ionizing Bar (see Super Ion Air Knife). The Super Ion Air Knife propels the static neutralizing ions over a larger area which is ideal for high speed, high charge applications. Air delivery can also remove dust and clean the product surface.
