Combines cleaning with static elimination

You get more static eliminating power with the Chapman Air Force SE. Adding a curtain of high velocity air to a powerful shockless static eliminating bar, two proven technologies extend the static elimination range to distances previously not possible.

The Air Knife concentrates a high velocity sheet of ions on the static problem. Huge ion delivery knocks out static fast, even from 2-3 meters (6-10ft) away.

In addition to compressed air, the Air Force SE pulls in large volumes of surrounding air (30 to 1 air amplification ratio). Compressed air savings of 40 to 90% are possible when replacing ordinary blow-off devices. Payback is measured in weeks, not months or years.

Static Attracts Dirt –
Neutralizing as you clean means your parts stay clean longer, and allows you to operate your processes at higher speed. Cleaner, static free parts give you better quality and fewer rejects.

Optional Equipment
Filtration
Clean, dry air is essential. An auto-drain compressed air filter is recommended. Chapman filters contain a five micron filter element and are sized for proper flow.
10778 Filter/Separator, 50 SCFM, for systems 305mm (12in) and shorter
10779 Filter/Separator, 200 SCFM, for systems 457mm (18in) and longer
Regulation
A regulator on the compressed air supply allows infinite control of flow, force and air consumption. Chapman regulators include a pressure gauge and are sized properly for flow.
10780 Pressure Regulator with gauge, 50 SCFM, for systems 305mm (12in) and shorter
10779 Pressure Regulator with gauge, 200 SCFM, for systems 457mm (18in) and shorter
Caution: Undersized air lines or restrictive fittings will "starve" the Air Knife System by causing excessive line pressure drop.
