The Intellistat moves up: new cleanroom class
The antistatic Intellistat Ion Air Gun is known for eliminating static electricity and removing the smallest particles in sensitive processes. It uses ionised compressed air to neutralise static electricity. Very sensitive processes are often found in medical technology, in pharmaceutical filling rooms and frequently in industry, for example in semiconductor manufacturing. These are just a few examples of clean processes in which the so-called cleanroom may contain only minimal contamination such as dust or other small particles. Cleanrooms are classified according to different levels of air cleanliness, which specify the number and size of particles permitted per volume of air. The basis for this is ISO 14644-1, which distinguishes a total of nine cleanliness classes. Class 9 has the highest number of particles, equivalent to ordinary room air.
Upgrade to class 5 for cleanrooms
The antistatic, patented Intellistat Ion Air Gun not only dissipates static charges very quickly (reducing 5,000 volts to 500 volts in less than one second). It is now even more useful, as it has only recently been rated class 5 under ISO 14644-1 for cleanrooms and controlled environments. This makes it an even more efficient tool for sensitive production processes such as electronics manufacturing, test facilities and laboratories.
Cleanroom classification
With 9 classes in total, class 5 for cleanrooms is already in the middle to upper range of the ISO 14644-1 standard. At this level of cleanroom classification, the cleanroom must have fewer than 3,520 particles per cubic metre and 250 to 300 HEPA-filtered air changes per hour. With the Intellistat Ion Air Gun, you can achieve this level of cleanliness with ease. This ensures a high degree of cleanliness and clean processes in your application.

By the way: Cleanrooms are mostly controlled and kept clean by HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air). These HEPA filters are also fitted in some models of our industrial vacuums, which are often used in dusty environments that require frequent cleaning. Find out more on our HEPA-VAC page.
