Here at EXAIR, we always have a promotion going. At this time of year, static electricity is running rampant due to the low moisture content in the air. This is easily seen in my garage, where I currently have several projects going. One of which includes a 1″ thick piece of rigid foam insulation, and another part of that same project includes about 10 sheets of drywall.
That project, finishing a basement area, also included making some plywood built-ins. Well, if you have ever cut plywood, then you know it can be quite dusty. Put that in a small space and just the dust floating in the air during these dry months resulted in the sheet of rigid foam which was standing up away from the cutting area now holding a nice layer of fine dust to the surface. This dust was all attracted to the surface by the static charge. The charge on the surface was ramped up from the movement to get it into the garage from the store, with lots of friction, attachment, and detachment. I could definitely benefit from something like the Gen4 Ion Air Gun to blow down the sheet and remove anything on the surface before I take it into the house for the project.
Well, if I were to order the Gen4 Ion Air Gun Kit through the current EXAIR promotion, I would also be receiving a free A/C Sensor pen which I could have used to help me trace where voltage is present in our dryer, which decided to break in the middle of the basement project. Luckily, I was able to trace it down to a thermal fuse that had buildup on it. Thankfully, we now have the repair parts on order.
If your facility has dry ambient conditions right now in these winter months, and you are starting to struggle with sheets clinging together, packaging material clinging to products, or operators complaining of nuisance shocks from aspects of their daily tasks, we have a product that can help. Best of all, we have a promotion to deliver a FREE A/C Sensor pen with any EXAIR Static Eliminator purchase.
Whether you need a fixed solution like the Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife, Intellistat Ion Air Nozzle, or Gen4 Ion Air Cannon, maybe you need something that can travel from one workstation to another or is handheld like our Gen4 Ion Air Gun Kit, or the Intellistat Ion Air Gun. Maybe you don’t have compressed air available like I didn’t in the basement. As long as you have access to a standard 120 VAC 3 prong US plug or 230 VAC, then you can use one of the Gen4 Ionizing Points, a Gen4 Ionizing Bar, or even the Varistat Benchtop Ionizer. See the page at the link below for all the offerings and make sure you use the promotional part numbers to get the free A/C Sensor pen which can be used for electrical troubleshooting for free!
If you aren’t sure which static eliminator will be the best fit for your current application, I and the entire Application Engineer team are here to help. We all have knowledge and experience with the products and a wide variety of backgrounds, so we can help determine the best path forward for you and your team. Contact one of us today.
