GEN4™ Standard Ion Air Knife™ – A sheet of ionized air is an effective way to eliminate static and clean parts or materials!
What Is the GEN4™ Standard Ion Air Knife?
The GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife offers 30% improved performance and is an effective way to eliminate static. Like its “super” counterpart, the GEN4 Super Ion Air Knife, the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife removes static electricity from plastics, webs, sheet stock and other surfaces where tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks are a problem.
This ionizer uses our original Standard Air Knife to carry ions from a GEN4 Ionizing Bar to the charged surface – up to 20 feet (6.1m) away. Though not as efficient as our GEN4 Super Ion Air Knife (40:1 air amplification), the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife (30:1 air amplification) still provides fast static decay and strong blowoff force for cleaning. Force can be adjusted from a “blast” to a “breeze”. The GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife is electrically powered, is shockless and has no moving parts.
Why The GEN4™ Standard Ion Air Knife?
When air consumption and noise level are not critical to the application, the lower cost makes the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife a good choice. (To compare the GEN4 Super Ion Air Knife and GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife, see the performance table on the Super Ion Air Knife page and the performance table for the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife, below.) Compressed air inlets are provided on each end of the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife. For long spans, multiple GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knives can be mounted end-to-end. This produces an air gap at the connection end of about 2″ (51mm). (If no air gap is desired, use the GEN4 Super Ion Air Knife.) Special length GEN4 Ionizing Bars up to 119″ (3.02m) are available for multiple air knife applications.
Universal Air Knife Mounting System
The Universal Air Knife Mounting System is used to provide secure, precise positioning for any of the EXAIR Air Knives. It can be mounted on either the top or bottom of most Air Knives (Super Air Knife, Standard Air Knife and Full-Flow Air Knife). The Universal Air Knife Mounting System has a durable, stainless steel construction that is suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
The mounting system can also be used with Exair Static Eliminiators. For the GEN4 Super Ion Air Knife, it can be mounted on the top. Bottom mounting is possible on GEN4 Super Ion Air Knives that are 18″(457mm) or longer. For the GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knife, it can be top mounted on any length. Bottom mounting is possible on GEN4 Standard Ion Air Knives that are 9″(229mm) or longer.
