Static eliminators
We offer a comprehensive range of products and solutions to remove static electricity, dust and other contaminants in various industrial processes. Static electricity can also cause materials to stick together or to machinery, creating problems in production. High levels of static electricity can also be a safety hazard for employees or cause damage to machinery.
Anti-static products neutralise static electricity by emitting positive and negative ions. When the ions hit the surface of the statically charged object, the object is neutralised and the static electricity dissipates. EXAIR's static electricity discharge products are divided into two main groups - deionisation using compressed air and deionisation without compressed air.

Neutralising static electricity with or without compressed air? What is the difference?
To remove static electricity in production, you can choose between anti-static solutions that operate with or without compressed air.
Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife - deionisation with compressed air
The air knife combines ionisation with airflow to quickly remove static charges and contaminants over large surfaces, moving parts and hard-to-reach areas.
Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife. The flow is directed into a precise, slit-shaped opening. As the primary airflow passes out, it forms a smooth air blade along its entire length, which instantly entrains the surrounding air (2). An electric Gen4 ionising bar (3) fills the air curtain with positive and negative charges. The airflow of these static elimination ions to the product surface (4), where it instantly neutralises static electricity and blows away dust and other particles.
Gen4 Ionising Bar - deionisation without compressed air
Ideal for use on delicate or lightweight materials, which may be adversely affected by an air flow. Compact and efficient solution for close-range applications.
The electromagnetically shielded power cable (1) conducts 5 kVrms from the power supply to each inductively coupled stainless steel emitter tip (2) on the Gen4 Ionising Bar. An integrated ground wire (3) in the power cable creates a discharge path from the emitter tips to the rod body (4). The discharge at each emitter charges the gas molecules in the surrounding air, resulting in a flow of positively and negatively charged ions (5). If the material surface has a negative charge, it attracts the positive ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar and becomes balanced or neutralised. If the material surface has a positive charge, it attracts the negative ions from the Gen4 Ionizing Bar and becomes balanced or neutralised.
Questions and answers about our static electricity discharge products
- How do I choose the right product to remove static electricity in my production?Read the full answer
Here is a brief summary of what you might want to consider to choose the most suitable product or solution to remove static electricity in your production process.
- What type of static eliminator should I use?Read the full answer
Air static eliminators are ideal for hard-to-reach areas, surfaces with obstacles, products moving at high speed or materials with very high static charge. Examples of air assisted ionisers are: Super Ion Air Knife, Standard Ion Air Knife, Super Ion Air Wipe, Ion Air...
- Neutralising static electricity with or without compressed air? What is the difference?Read the full answer
To remove static electricity in production, you can choose between anti-static solutions that operate with or without compressed air.
- Where should I place the ioniser in my process?Read the full answer
The most effective placement of an ioniser is usually just before the area of the process where the static electricity is causing problems, such as tearing, blocking or discharging towards personnel. In some cases, multiple ionisers may be needed in the same process, as static electricity can re-form...
- What lengths do you offer for Super Ion Air Knife and Standard Ion Air Knife?Read the full answer
We offer single piece lengths from 75mm to 2740mm for our Super Ion Air Knife, and from 75mm to 1220mm for our Standard Ion Air Knife. Customised lengths are also available - contact us for assistance and more information.
- What kind of maintenance is required for an Ionising Bar?Read the full answer
Use a soft brush (e.g. a toothbrush) to clean the emitter tips and duct from dust and particles. Do not use anything that can bend or dull the emitter tips. Also avoid soaps or liquid cleaners that can leave behind a conductive coating - this can impair the ...
