Most high technology manufacturers rely on air ionization to control problems associated with static charge-thus increasing yields, minimizing down-time and microprocessor lock-up and reducing cost of ownership. Unfortunately, mini-environments and process equipment prevent traditional ionizers from reaching one of the most important production areas-the inside of process equipment.

Additional Information

Additional Information

N/A In the heart of process equipment, where limited space or proximity to sensitive products makes ionizing bars impractical, the Model 4210 In-line Gas Ionizer pipes compressed ionized gas for balanced charge neutralization. Either Clean Dry Air (CDA) or nitrogen can be ionized, depending on process requirements. The ionized gas can be plumbed to the static-sensitive product or fixture using ultra-clean PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing, bathing the area in ions. Manifolds can be custom designed which provide ions to the desired area, while staying clear of moving products and robotics.
