The Gen4® Static Eliminators were designed for rugged areas to remove static in industrial environments. EXAIR decided to take the next step in eliminating static in more “sensitive” areas, like labs, clean rooms, electronics, medical items, glass etc. In this blog, I will cover the features and benefits of the Intellistat Ion Air Gun.
The EXAIR Intellistat Ion Air Gun is a patented handheld air gun for static elimination in sterile environments and clean rooms. We have earned an ISO 14644-1 Class 5 Clean room Rating, making it ideal for static elimination in clean rooms with delicate processes. There are some processes that require certain cleanliness standards for operation, such as scientific research, solar panel manufacturing and biotechnology industries. This means that any tool or material that they use in this process has to meet a certain standard. EXAIR’s Intellistat was engineered to do just that.
The polycarbonate construction makes the unit very lightweight and ergonomically safe for extended periods of use without fatigue. This lightweight tool provides rapid static decay with a simple squeeze of a short-throw trigger, reducing 5,000 volts to 500 volts in under one second. It comes complete with a low voltage power supply and compressed air tubing. The power supply is a 24Vdc output that connects to 110Vac or 220Vac primary voltage with universal plug-ins. The 6mm tubing has a standard length of 3 meters with an option to go to 6 meters. The Intellistat comes packed in its own box for fast delivery.
A feature that I really like is the red and green LED lights to signify ionized air production. It gives feedback that ions are being created. It has a voltage balance of +/- 30 volts, and the ion point is interchangeable. It comes standard with a hangable hook for easy storage; and, for safety, we use an OSHA safe nozzle to provide low noise levels and remove dead-end pressure.
Here are some benefits of the Intellistat. They are useful in applications that require non-conductive materials such as circuit boards or electronic manufacturing. They provide ionized airflow useful for removing dust, static, and particulate contaminants in sterile environments within clean rooms, laboratories, and scientific testing. For certification, they are UL listed, CE and RoHS compliant; and it uses only 5.8 SCFM (164.2 SLPM) of compressed air at 80 PSIG (5.5 bar).
Some applications would include precision parts assembly, printed circuit boards, preserving cleanliness in electronic manufacturing, removing debris from medical products, and neutralizing glass containers, slides and lenses. The Intellistat Ion Air Gun is also a great tool for Quality Control to manually clean parts before checking.
EXAIR continues to expand solutions for our customers. If static removal is needed in “sensitive” types of areas, the Intellistat Ion Air Gun can be a solution for you. EXAIR manufactures a large line of Static Eliminators. From now until March 31st, 2026, EXAIR will be giving a free AC Sensor, a $77.50 value, as a promotional item with a qualified purchase of any Static Eliminator. If you would like to discuss your application and potential static issues, you can contact an Application Engineer at EXAIR. We will be happy to help.
