Air knives with a SIMCO anti-static bar combine the effects of air amplification and ionization to produce a high-velocity "sheet" of ionized air (amplification ratio as high as 25:1).

Air knives combined with a type MEB shockproof anti-static bar come in standard lengths. Several air knives are used for greater lengths. The compressed air is blown across the high-voltage points over the entire width and amplified by the ambient air carried along. The air flow is saturated by the positive and negative ions produced by the anti-static bar. The air flow neutralizes the static charge, enabling any contamination to be easily blown away.

Application: The photograph shows a production line for transporting automotive components. These components must be perfectly clean, before they are finished in the spray booth. All dust particles are blown away by the air knife with anti-static bar.
