OverviewEXAIR's Gen4® Super Ion Air Wipe™ provides a uniform 360° ionized airstream that is easy to clamp around a part for eliminating static electricity and contaminants. It is ideal for use on pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose, wire and more. The high volume, high velocity flow attaches itself to the surface and wipes it down with static eliminating ions. The airflow stays attached to the surface and is effective far away from where the Gen4 Super Ion Air Wipe is mounted. An optional pressure regulator provides infinite control of the air volume and velocity.

How It Works (summary)The Super Ion Air Wipe incorporates a Super Air Wipe and a split ionizing collar energized by a power supply. Compressed air is ejected through a small ring nozzle at high velocity to create a conical 360° ring of air that induces surrounding air. The airflow passes through the collar and is ionized by two emitter points. The high velocity ionized airstream attaches to the material surface passing through the Air Wipe, uniformly eliminating static and removing contaminants.
