We eliminate static differently. Ionix Static Eliminators for feeders in folders and 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. Folder operators experience misfeeds leading to 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. 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. Ionix for folders are sized based upon 1. the maximum sheet size of the folder and 2. the inside diameter of the main blower air hose. Therefore, in order to install Ionix on a sheet feeding folder you must have this information. For folders capable of feeding a sheet up to 20" (510MM) wide: for 1/2" (10MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 200-2 for 3/4" (20MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 200-3 for 1" (25MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 200-4 for 1 1/4" (30MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 200-5 for 1 1/2" (40MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-6 for 1 3/4" (45MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-7 for 2" (50MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-8 For folders capable of feeding a sheet over 20" (510MM) wide and up to 26" (650MM) wide: for 1/2" (10MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 300-2 for 3/4" (20MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 300-3 for 1" (25MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 300-4 for 1 1/4" (30MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 300-5 for 1 1/2" (40MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-6 for 1 3/4" (45MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-7 for 2" (50MM) inside diameter feeder air hose: Ionix Model 400-8
