Model 5801

Convert your old ionizing blowers into efficient, zero-balance alpha ionizers. Ever-decreasing line widths, geometries, and flying heights in the upcoming generation of tunnel-value magneto-resistive (TMR) heads mean that electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs at lower levels of static charge transfer. Only alpha technology offers intrinsic zero balance ionization at ±0 volts, making it crucial in today's cleanroom environment. However, many manufacturers are stuck with rooms full of out-dated ionizing blowers, and a limited capital budget. Now, manufacturers can quickly and inexpensively convert corona ionizing blowers into zero balance, clean, alpha ionizers, with Ion's Upgrade Kit.

Go from high maintenance to zero maintenance No emitter points to clean. No ion balance to calibrate. When you use the alpha Upgrade Kit to convert your corona ionizers to alpha, you save money, time and manpower on upkeep. Alpha sources employ polonium 210, a very low-level radioisotope that has an active ion producing life of one year, at which time it must be exchanged for a fresh source. This yearly exchange is the only maintenance needed for alpha ionizers.
