Compressed air-operated products manufacturer, Exair, has introduced its award-winning Varistat Benchtop Ionizer to the industrial market, a powerful fan-driven static eliminator engineered to neutralise static charges on surfaces.

The blower style static eliminator delivers a consistent stream of ionized airflow, aiming to eliminate static and particulates without the need for compressed air. The Varistat is now available in 230 volts to meet the needs of industrial locations in protecting against static, dust, debris and other particulates.

Easily mounted on benchtops or machines, the static eliminator is manually adjustable and intended for processes needing comprehensive coverage. The 230-volt Varistat sets itself apart from other fan-driven static eliminators by offering highly adjustable features and allowing for versatility.

Features like selectable voltage, variable fan speed, and adjustable polarity make the Varistat a comprehensive solution for eliminating static. Once plugged in, the Varistat provides rapid static decay capable of reducing 1000V to 100V in 0.8 seconds.

This product features two replaceable ion emitter points and two 30 PPI foam filters to ensure optimal performance over extended periods, as well as LED lights to signify proper function.

Exair’s Varistat Benchtop Ionizer and other products are available from Compressed Air Australia, the Darwin-based Australian distributor of Exair’s range.
