Types and Selection Methods of Ionizers
Types of Static Electricity Eliminating Devices (Ionizers)
Static electricity eliminating devices (ionizers) are a method of neutralizing static electricity. There are two types: those using corona discharge and those using light. Both neutralize static electricity by generating positive (+) and negative (-) ions.
Key Points for Selecting a Static Electricity Eliminating Device (Ionizer)
The following seven basic points need to be considered when selecting an ionizer:
The installation space of the ionizer
The moving speed of the object to be eliminated
The size of the object to be eliminated
The amount of static electricity generated by the object to be eliminated
The ion balance required for elimination
The influence of wind and whether compressed air can be used
The surrounding environment of the installation site (whether there are electronic instruments that may be affected by the ionizer, etc.)
In actual selection, more detailed conditions need to be considered based on the object to be eliminated, the installation site, and the environment.
