<\/a>\nIonizing Point<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As the weather gets colder, and the air gets dryer, static electricity can become a real nuisance in production plants.\u00a0 Machines will start jamming, alignments will be difficult, debris will collect on surfaces, and hazardous sparks can shock staff.\u00a0 EXAIR manufactures a large line of Gen4 Static Eliminators<\/a> to remove this static nuisance.\u00a0 We offer them with air to remove static at a distance and to create a force to clean.\u00a0 We also offer them without air to help eliminate static in tight spaces or for when airflow may disrupt a material flow.\u00a0 In this blog, I will cover our single point unit, the model 8199 Gen4 Ionizing Point<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our Ionizing Point is rugged for tough industrial applications.\u00a0 The high voltage cable is constructed with a PVC coated, armored cable to withstand many common hazards like pinch points and cuts, thus protecting the internal conductors.\u00a0 The Gen4 Ion Point is also UL component recognition for the US and Canada, and it is also CE compliant to the applicable European directives for safety as well as electromagnetic interference.\u00a0<\/p>\n The solid, stainless steel emitter point is also removable.\u00a0 This helps to insure continuous problem-free operations.\u00a0 Once the emitter point wears due to normal use, it can be replaced very simply and economically by simply unscrewing the old one and threading in a new emitter point.\u00a0 The Gen4 Ionizing Point<\/a> comes standard with a 5 foot (1.5 meter) long high voltage cable. \u00a0However, other cable lengths up to 50 feet (15 meters) are available upon request.\u00a0 The end has a saddle for mounting through the side of air moving ducts or for simple placement near a static issue.<\/p>\n To operate the Ionizing Points, a Gen4 Power Supply<\/a> is required to create ions with a high voltage signal.\u00a0 The AC waveform of the signal creates positive and negative ions to remove either polarity of static.\u00a0 EXAIR offers two different models; the model 7960, which has two output ports, and the model 7961, which has four output ports.\u00a0 They can operate more than one Static Eliminator to help save money when the application solution is ideal for operating multiple units in the same vicinity.\u00a0 The features of the Power Supply are that it has a selectable primary voltage of 115Vac or 240Vac, it generates 5,000 volts, and it has shunt circuitry to provide for safe reduction of output when the power supply \u201csees\u201d a shorted condition on the secondary.<\/p>\n The Gen4 Ionizing Point<\/a> is designed for small target areas or for duct mounting. Static is created by rubbing, hitting, and peeling of non-conductive materials.\u00a0 The Gen4 Ionizing Point can be used directly for slitting, label peeling, or small print areas for quality.\u00a0 A series of them can be used for ionizing a ducted airflow to tackle problems within air conveying systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, how about a free promotional item?\u00a0 For qualified purchases of Gen4 Static Eliminators<\/a>, including the Gen4 Ionizing Point<\/a>, EXAIR will ship a model 7929, AC Sensor, for free with your purchase, a $65.00 value.\u00a0 If you are an end-user and located within the United States or Canada, you can take advantage of this offer until March 31st, 2025.\u00a0 If you wish to speak to an Application Engineer <\/a>about your application, we will be happy to assist you with a solution to eliminate static.\u00a0<\/p>\n John Ball![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.exair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ionpointcutcards_350x.jpg?resize=350%2C280&ssl=1\")
