Ion air knife kit Model 8424DX Gen4® Deluxe Standard

industrialwith electronic flow controlwith pressure controller

Overview
The Gen4® Deluxe Standard Ion Air Knife™ Kit contains all components required to optimize static neutralization with a Gen4 Standard Ion Air Knife™: Electronic Flow Control (EFC), universal mounting bracket, power supply, shim set, filter separator and pressure regulator. The Standard Ion Air Knife™ uses a 30:1 air amplification to deliver a sheet of ionized air to charged surfaces for static elimination on plastics, webs and sheet stock. Compared with the Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife™, air consumption and noise are higher but still appropriate for many industrial applications.

Advantages

• Improved ionization performance (approx. 30% over prior designs)
• Armored, electromagnetically shielded cable for reliable signal integrity
• Integrated grounding—no separate ground connection required
• Stainless steel connections to power supply for durability
• Reduced air consumption vs. older air knife designs
• 30:1 air amplification for a uniform sheet of air
• Low operational noise
• Effective ion neutralization up to 20 ft (6.1 m)
• Shockless, non-radioactive ionization
• Compact, rugged construction and simple installation
• Unlimited system lengths via coupling brackets
• Low maintenance with replaceable emitter design
• Adjustable force and flow using shim sets and EFC
