Ionix Static Eliminators

Ionix Technologies Inc. was established in 1994 to manufacture static eliminators using technology developed and patented by Ionix. This new technology allows compressed air to act as an electrical conductor in controlled and confined spaces after being forced through the Ionix unit. It eliminates static charges on surfaces by providing a non destructive dissipative path through air to the attracting opposing electrical charge or electrical ground. Ionix is NON NUCLEAR!

Therefore, as a dissipative process, Ionix units can automatically and reliably eliminate either positive or negative charges. Since the process is dissipative, metal in proximity to the Ionix has no detrimental effect on its performance. It is especially effective in applications where traditional ionization is not effective.

Ionix Static Eliminators are in use within the following industries:

  Printing and bindery - Ionix are installed on the main blower air lines of sheet fed presses, folders, collators, mailing inserters and binders to eliminate static in feeders. Ionix is also installed in spray powder systems to reduce static charges in powder reducing powder use. Ionix is proven technology with over 25,000 installations at printers worldwide!
At the 2002 GATF-NAPL Sheetfed Pressroom Conference Ionix was recommended as one of the “6 Ideas you can take to the Bank” to improve pressroom productivity since “Every job runs faster”.

 NEW - Ionix FDS System will prevent static in the feeder and delivery of your small format folder due to copied or laser imaging.

  Plastic, fiberglass, composite fabrication and plastic product finishing - Ionix can be installed on blow off air gun lines to dissipate static charges causing plastic particulate to stick to plastic during fabricating or prior to painting. Ionix can be used with fiberglass and composites and is safe in hazardous environments. High pressure units (up to 150 psi) are available.

  Wood and wood product finishing - Spray perfect finishes the first time by eliminating surface static which attracts dust. Ionix installed on blow off lines prior to finishing reduces surface blemishes in wood finishing. Ionix can be installed in CNC blow off lines as well as automated finishing equipment air lines.

  Auto and metal product finishing - Spray perfect finishes the first time by eliminating surface static which attracts dust. Ionix installed on blow off guns dissipates surface charges while blowing off attracted particulate prior to painting. Ionix can also be installed in automatic painting operations.

  Natural Gas Distribution - Ionix introduced into natural gas stream via cartridge or chemical additive has proven to prevent dangerous static electric accumulation inside PE pipe. Elimination of internal static charges reduces pin holing (the source of unexplained holes in PE pipe) and ignitions of gas due to accidental hits or during repair operations and improving pipeline integrity. These products are available through Ionix Gas Technologies.

  Waste Collection Systems - Ionix is installed in printing plant centralized waste collection systems to eliminate paper and plastic blockages and stoppages in collection systems due to static buildup.
