Description
What is the Exair Ionizing Bar?
The EXAIR Ionizing Bar eliminates electrostatic charges on non-conductive material surfaces such as paper, plastic films and fabrics. Static can attract dust and other contaminants, ruin product appearance, cause clogging of production machines.
The Exair Ionizing Bar is compact, allowing it to be mounted in confined spaces, close to where the charge is generated. A high concentration of positively and negatively charged ozone ions facilitates neutralization of any surface within 5 centimeters.
The unique design of the ionizing rod is safe to use as there is no risk of electric shock. It offers improved performance and reliability in industrial applications. This is the fourth generation of Exair's antistatic products and they are the most robust iteration ever.

How does the Exair Ionizing Bar work?

The shielded power cable (1) carries the 5kV (rms) from the power supply output to each of the stainless steel emitter points (2) of the Exair Ionizing Bar. A grounding wire (3) on the side of the bar creates a discharge path from the emitter points to the bar channel (4). The discharge at each emitter charges the molecules of the surrounding atmospheric air gases, resulting in a shower of negatively and positively charged ozone ions (5). If the material has a negatively charged surface, it will attract the positive ions on the rod and the charge will be neutralized. If the material has a positively charged surface, it will attract negative ions from the rod and the charge will be neutralized. The voltage potential of each emitter is high enough to ionize the surrounding air without risk of electric shock when any of the emitters is touched by hand.
