Fast delivery and installation of Ionix Static
Eliminators
We manufacture in house all Ionix and can generally ship to you next
day air if necessary.
You can install our units yourself in under 30 minutes and
get your production running again.
If you can cut a hose, you can install an Ionix Static Eliminator.
Ionix Static Eliminators are simple to install - you can
install it yourself!
Ionix is installed on the main blow/pressure line going from the
feeder pump to the feeder.
For optimum results, all the air coming from the feeder pump should
go through the Ionix Static Eliminator.
Identify the air hose coming from the feeder pump and measure the
inside diameter of that hose. Cut that hose and push the hose ends
over the Ionix tapered ends. Installation is complete. No electrical
wiring is necessary. Ionix does not contain nuclear material.
If your machine has more than one feeder pump - such as a side
blower pump - that pump must also be equipped with Ionix.

Ionix for folders are sized based upon:
- the maximum sheet size of the folder and
- the inside diameter of the main blower air hose.

Ionix Static Eliminators for static elimination of paper in
collators
Generally, if static occurs in collators it is due to copied or
digitally imaged paper which will not separate in the individual
bins of a collator. To dissipate this static and cause the paper to
separate, an Ionix needs to be installed in the blast air line going
from the air pump to the bins in the collator. Identify the pressure
air line going from the pump to the collating tower. If there is
more than one pump, each pump will require an Ionix installed in the
blast/pressure air line.
Some newer collators do not use an air compressor. Instead they use
turbines or fans to generate separating air. Since these turbines
are built into the collator and there is no air blast pressure line,
there is no method to introduce Ionix into the air feed system.
Ionix Static Eliminators for static elimination of paper in
die cutters, laminators and other sheet feeding bindery equipment
Generally if your machine is a sheet feeding machine with air
separating the sheets, an Ionix can be installed in the feeder air
system to eliminate static causing sheet misfeeds. Install an Ionix
on each blast/pressure air line in the machine. However, if the
static problem is in the delivery, please contact Ionix for proper
sizing.
Ionix Static Eliminators for static in bookbinding machines
Generally, static is bookbinding machines such as saddle binders,
perfect binders or case binders occurs in one of two areas.
If the static is in the gathering pockets, paper static in the
signatures causes misfeeds. This problem can be remedied by
installing the proper Ionix in the air separation line blowing into
the signature pockets from the pump. If the binder has more than one
air pump, an Ionix must be installed on each pump's blast/pressure
air line.
Static also causes misfeeding in cover feeder attachments in binding
machines. This is remedied by installing an Ionix in the air line
going to the feeder pocket.
In both cases, your should contact Ionix to confirm proper sizing
the initial Ionix installation before ordering.
How Ionix Static Eliminators eliminates static in the feeder
of folders, collators, binders and other sheet feeding bindery
equipment
Since most small format printing is now done on copiers or digital
printers, the problem of feeder static is more prevalent. There is
static in the paper from the digital imaging process. In folders,
these paper sheets with static will not easily separate in the pile
feeder because the static is BETWEEN the sheets in the pipe. This is
the static that must be eliminated. Folder operators experience
misfeeds and doubles causing paper jams in the feeder.
To eliminate static in folder feeders, an Ionix is installed in the
pressure or blast air line going from the feeder pump to the feeder.
The Ionix can be installed at any point in the main air line going
to the feeder. However, install Ionix before any lines branch off
from the main blast air line since all air going to the feeder needs
to be treated by going through the Ionix unit.
When the compressor air goes through the Ionix, the feeder mechanism
blows out the air between the paper sheets which is acting like an
electrical insulator and replaces it with air that acts like an
electrical conductor which discharges the static on the interior
surfaces of the paper. This eliminates the static attraction within
the paper in the feeder. Because the static between the sheet
surfaces is now dissipated, the sheets separate easily.
