Introducing a electrostatic charge removal using “PHOTOIONIZATION”!
The Photoionizer is a completely new type of electrostatic remover using “photoionization” for clean, easy, yet effective generation of ions.
The Photoionizer provides big advantages over the corona discharge method which is generally used.
The Photoionizer throughly ionizes molecules near the charged object so these ions in turn work effectively to remove electrostatic charges accumulated on the object.
The Photoionizer is certain to be the next generation of electrostatic charge removers, since it now eliminates all the problems conventional electrostatic removers have in terms of object, speed, environment and reliability.
No air flow
Ion generation constantly occurs over the entire volume exposed to soft X-ray.
Ions generated near the charged object serve to effectively remove the electrostatic charge, so there is no need for sending generated ions toward the object by an air flow.
The Photoionizer also removes electrostatic charges from lightweight parts and powder.
High ion density
In the corona discharge method, ions are mainly generated only near the electrodes.
In the soft X-ray method, however, ions are generated over the en-tire volume exposed to these soft X-ray, yielding a drastic improvement in the removal of electrostatic charges.
No overshoot
If ion generation balance is poor, the positive or the negative ions will continuously increase in large quantities, resulting in ”overshoot”(generation of static charges of opposite polarity). The Photoionizer, however, simultaneously generates the same amount of ”positive” and “negative” ions in an ideal balance that prevents overshoot.
No cleaning of electrodes required
Requires NO periodic maintenance usually needed on ordinary corona discharge ionizers. Only the head will need replacement when its average life of 8000 hours(*) is reached.
* PHOTOIONIZER is warranted for one year from date of delivery or 8000 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
