OverviewEXAIR's Gen4® Super Ion Air Knife™ Kit with Plumbing Kit includes all the tubes and fittings pre-installed to simplify final installation and provide consistent performance across the length of the air knife. The kit includes a Power Supply (115 VAC/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz), shim set, filter separator, and pressure regulator (with coupler). A Super Ion Air Knife produces a smooth, even airflow so that static-removing ions can be distributed evenly across plastics, webs, sheet stock and other product surfaces to prevent tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks. The laminar sheet of air sweeps surfaces clean of static, particulate, dust and dirt, improving production speeds, product quality, and surface cleanliness.
