2. Description and operation
The TYPHOON air knife neutralises static electricity and removes dirt from flat and curved
surfaces using a powerful ionized air flow.
This air flow is generated by a powerful blower (option) and an air knife.
The air knife comes with a type EP-Sh-N anti-static bar (figure 1) as standard. If the air knife is
to be used in explosion-hazardous zones, the P-Sh-N-Ex anti-static bar (figure 2) is required.
The anti-static bar produces positive and negative ions which are blown onto the surface by
the air knife. When this air flow is pointed at an electrostatically charged surface, ions are
exchanged and the surface is neutralised. This ensures that the material is neutralised as it is
blown clean and prevents the particles that are blown off from being re-attracted.
The selected blower should have enough capacity to the air flow corresponding to the selected
level as indicated in the graph below.
Level 1 10 - 20 mbar Static removal only
Level 2 20 - 50 mbar Light dust removal / Long range static removal
Level 3 50 - 100 mbar Dust removal
Level 4 100 - 150 mbar Heavy dust removal
Level 5 150 - 200 mbar Extra Heavy dust removal
Level 6 200 - 250 mbar Special applications
Level 7 250 - 300 mbar Special applications
