EXAIR has decided to open up our product line for areas that do not have or wish not to use compressed air.  This award-winning EXAIR Varistat® Benchtop Ionizer is a powerful fan-driven static eliminator engineered to neutralize static charges on surfaces in demanding industrial environments. This Ionizer delivers a consistent stream of ionized airflow, effectively eliminating static and particulate without the need for compressed air. The Varistat is now available in 230 volts to meet the needs of industrial locations. Easily mounted on bench tops or machines, this static eliminator is manually adjustable and perfect for processes needing comprehensive coverage.

            The new 230-volt Varistat sets itself apart from other fan-driven static eliminators by offering highly adjustable features and allowing for versatility. Features like selectable voltage 115VAC/230VAC, variable fan speed, and adjustable polarity make the Varistat a complete solution for eliminating static in a variety of processes and facilities. Once plugged in, the Varistat provides rapid static decay capable of reducing 1000V to 100V in 0.8 seconds. This product features two replaceable ion emitter points and two 30 PPI foam filters to ensure optimal performance over extended periods, as well as LED lights to signify proper function.

Press Release: New Varistat Benchtop Ionizer

Published on by Russ BowmanLeave a comment

At EXAIR, when something notable happens, our Marketing folks like to make a big splash for our customers with a Press Release. The latest one is all about one of the latest additions to our Static Eliminators Product Line: the Varistat Benchtop Ionizer.

Click above to get ALL the details!

Common topics of Press Releases include the introduction of a new product (like our 1/2 NPT Hollow Cone Liquid Nozzles for Cooling and Washing), the release of new media (like our New Air Atomizing Spray Nozzle Video), expanded certification of existing products (like the Upgraded Certification for our NEMA 4 Cabinet Cooler products), or when someone achieves a major industry-related accreditation (like when I got my Certified Compressed Air Systems Specialist certificate from the Compressed Air & Gas Institute). The Varistat is a similarly big deal, for some unique reasons:

  • It’s our first air blowing product that’s NOT compressed air operated. We do still take pride in being THE industry experts for quiet, safe, and efficient compressed air products, but with a couple of decades worth of expertise in static elimination, the Varistat rounds out our comprehensive line of Static Eliminators.
  • It’s also our first Static Eliminator with the ability to balance the polarity of ionization of the air flow. That means you can get more positive ions (and fewer negative ions), or more negative ions (and fewer positive ions). This is done by pressing the “+” or “-” polarity buttons on the top:
Blue lights to either side indicate the relative concentration of positive or negative ions generated. If none of the blue lights are lit (the green light simply indicates the unit is on), then a high concentration of both positive and negative ions is being generated.

Simple setup, simple operation…what more could you ask for? If you’d like to find out more about the Varistat Benchtop Ionizer – or any of our Static Eliminator Products – give me a call.
