IN6430 Air Ionizing Gun From Transforming Technologies

Transforming Technologies' IN6430 Ionizing Air Gun is an effective static eliminating device that integrates best-in-class AC performance, mechanical and ergonomic design features into a superior and affordable package.

Typical AC ionizing guns require stiff and bulky high voltage (HV) cables to connect the gun to the power supply. Over time these HV cable fails. DC ionizing guns eliminate HV cables, but ion balance is limited. DC emitter points are vulnerable to physical damage, contamination and erosion, all during normal use.

The IN6430 uses Ptec™, a specialized piezoceramic technology, to create a high frequency AC ionizing output with exceptional balance and decay performance. We eliminate HV cables by locating the power supply in the ionizing gun handle. Our OSHA compliant emitter nozzle protects both the operator and ionizer. Emitter contamination and wear are virtually non-existent with AC ionizing guns.

Ionizers that use Ptec™, technology do not require calibration and only minimal maintenance.

Specifications: Power Input AC 100V - 240V, 50/60Hz
Power Outlet Unfused, 0.5A or 1.0A max.

General Purpose Staticide® From ACL Staticide

Using General Purpose Staticide^® from ACL Staticide can prevent damage of sensitive electronic equipment, components, and sub-assemblies during manufacture, shipping or receiving by reducing a static charge to zero volts. This solution inhibits charge generation on all surfaces it's applied to including tote boxes and carriers used to process and store electronic components. Using General Purpose Staticide^® can also reduce dust, dirt, and bacteria attraction by removing the charge. Non-toxic and safe to use, this solution can be used in industrial, institutional, and commercial environments.

Every Staticide^® topical dilution is proven to be effective in relative humidity below 15%. Exceeds MIL-B-81705 specifications for static decay in accordance with Federal Test Standard 101, method 4046. One gallon covers approximately 2000 sq.ft. and will last from weeks to months, depending on the application and the material it's applied to. Staticide^® topicals can be applied by spraying, wiping, dipping, transfer roller coating, gravure coating or flexographic printing.
