Aven Static Eliminator Adds Compact ESD Protection
ANN ARBOR, MI -- A space-conserving air ionizer from Aven, Inc. helps avert electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage with minimal bench-top presence.
The Static Eliminator, which is just 5.5 inches wide, provides an optimum safeguard against unwanted currents that damage solid state electronics. The point-of-use blower for critical environments such as clean rooms has a variable-speed fan producing an air volume of 35 to 70 cubic feet per minute to neutralize static charge on insulation, plastics and circuit board substrates.
"Silicon components and silicon dioxide insulators can be harmed permanently by static buildup, so ionizing blowers are a cost-effective precaution," explains Mike Shahpurwala, president of Aven, a global supplier of precision technology.
The Michigan-based firm's small-footprint model, which protects a process area of up to five feet, is less than nine inches high and can be easily moved among bench work areas. It carries a one-year warranty.
