Ionix Folder Delivery System
eliminates the static in the folder delivery

The problem of folding copied paper
Virtually all the 11” x 17” (or smaller) imaging done in North America is done on a laser/digitally imaged platform. Folding this material has developed into a major production bottleneck. In addition to the static in the feeder, as paper runs through the folding rollers, static accumulates on the rollers and plates of the folder. The result is folded paper delivered with so much static it sticks together and cannot be jogged.

How Ionix FDS solves this problem
Ionix FDS solves this problem of roller static buildup by diverting air from the blower pump going to the feeder through an Ionix Static Eliminator and directing it onto the folding rollers. This is accomplished by replacing the old roller guard cover with a new Ionix FDS roller guard cover. An air splitter is installed in the feeder blower air line after the Ionix cartridge in the blower air line which diverts the air to the FDS roller guard cover. The Ionix treated air eliminates the static on the folder roller and prevents further buildup. It also prevents static buildup on the folder plates. Also, since Ionix is installed in the blower air line going to the feeder, static in the feeder will also be eliminated.

How Ionix FDS is installed
Customers can install the FDS by themselves in less than 10 minutes. The old roller guard cover is removed and replaced with the Ionix FDS cover. The feeder blower hose pump is cut and the Ionix Static Eliminator is inserted in the line. The hose is cut again after Ionix and the air splitter is inserted in the line. A ¼” supplied hose is run form the splitter to the Ionix FDS air bar. Installation is complete. Tools required are a pair of scissors and an Allen wrench.
