Simco Aerostat PC Ionizing Air Blower - MPS Featured Product

From SIMCO:

SIMCO’s Aerostat® PC Ionizing Air Blower provides localized coverage with superior charge decay efficiency. The Aerostat PC is designed to provide ionization to a targeted work surface. Distinguished by its variable speed control and patented emitter point cleaner, SIMCO’s Aerostat PC is an excellent choice for eliminating static in production processes.

While helping to protect products and personnel from the effects of static discharge, the Aerostat PC is lightweight, small, and quiet - making it easy for the user to direct the ionization where it is needed.




Applications
Medical - Device manufacturing, Component assembly
Injection Molding - Small parts
Pharmaceutical - Vibratory feeder bowl


Features and Benefits
• Fast, targeted neutralization of static charges
• Lightweight, compact and quiet for unobtrusive use
• Built-in point cleaner simplifies maintenance
• Variable speed fan for airflow control

From Midwest Production Supply:

The Aerostat PC Ionizer is very efficient at neutralizing static charges for a variety of applications including Benchtop Electronic Assembly, Medical Device Manufacturing, Lens and Glass Manufacturing, Printing and many others. Although most manufacturer’s understand that static charges can wreak havoc on sensitive electronic devices, they often times don’t think about ESA. ESA stands for Electro Static Attraction and can also be a major manufacturing issue. Insulators like plastic parts used to make medical products, for example, almost always hold a static charge. The manufacturer may not be concerned about static in this instance as there are no electronic components to their parts, however, what they sometimes fail to realize is that static will attract particles and can also cause parts to stick together. For many, particles are a big issue and can cause failures as many of these types of products are made in Clean areas. Ionization is also a very effective way of eliminating static charges on insulators resulting in cleaner parts and improved yield. To find out more about Simco's Aerostat and other ionizing air blowers, visit Midwest Production Supply today.
