Model 6200HOB Ionizing Air Blower
Another example would be neutralizing plastic
parts as they exit a plastic injection mold and are
conveyed to a container. Keeping parts
neutralized through this process will prevent them
from re-attracting to the mold cavity; prevent them
from attracting air borne contamination; allow
them to fall freely from the conveyor and into the
container, and prevent annoying, uncomfortable,
shocks to operators.
To Achieve Best Results
•
The Staticmaster
®
6200HOB must be properly
grounded. It comes equipped with a UL-approved
detachable line cord with a three-prong plug on
one end and a three-prong receptacle on the other
end. It is essential to the performance of the
Staticmaster
®
6200HOB and to the safety of the
operator that the third prong (ground) never be
removed and that the three-prong plug be inserted
only into a known, properly wired and grounded
three-prong receptacle.
•
Metal or other conductive materials (too close
to the material to be neutralized) act as a sink
for static neutralizing ions stealing them from
the electrostatically charged material for which
they are intended. Be sure that the material to
be neutralized is not in contact with another
surface. Direct the ionized air toward the material
or parts just before or just after they come in
contact with a background surface. As much as
possible, the material or parts should be in free
air to achieve maximum neutralizing results
from Ionizers.
•
The Staticmaster
®
6200HOB is an extended
range air ionizer. It is capable of neutralizing
electrostatically charged materials as distant as
ten feet. However, the closer it is to the charged
material, the faster the charge will be neutralized.
If the charged parts are stationary, and the length
of time required to neutralize them is of no
consequence, then the Staticmaster
®
6200HOB
could be sufficiently effective mounted at a
distance of ten feet from the material. If the
material were passing by the ionizer at 1000 feet
per minute, then it would be virtually ineffective
from ten feet. On average, the most effective
range for the Staticmaster
®
6200HOB is within
two feet.
•
The Staticmaster
®
6200HOB will operate
efficiently above, below, or on either side of the
material. Keeping the ionizing points facing
downward will minimize contamination and
falling foreign matter from collecting on them.
•
A universal bracket and mounting hardware is
provided with the Staticmaster
®
6200HOB.
