SBTI Sentinel II Benchtop Ionizer Blower for Industrial Applications

Features

The SBTI Sentinel II Benchtop Ionizer is a high-performance static control device, designed as an upgrade to the original SBTI Sentinel Benchtop Ionizer. It uses steady-state DC ionization technology with specially designed fan modules that create broader coverage (16” x 36”) and deliver a consistent offset voltage of ±3 volts. Discharge times are less than 1 second at a 12-inch distance, as tested according to ANSI/ESD STM 3.1 standards.

A key feature is its Sealed Plenum Air Flow, which prevents contamination from entering the workstation, ensuring a clean operating environment. The Active Balancing System with audible and visual alarms automatically adjusts voltage output for optimal performance, alerting users when maintenance is required or if the unit is not functioning correctly. The 3-position fan speed controller allows for flexibility, with options for low, medium, and high speeds (50-100 CFM), while still maintaining consistent ionization performance.

Performance

The SBTI Sentinel II provides reliable static charge neutralization across a wide coverage area, offering superior discharge times and consistent offset voltage. The adjustable fan speed allows users to set the airflow according to their requirements, whether for sensitive applications like calibration and testing or general static control. The powder-coated housing and sealed bearing fans minimize the risk of contamination, corrosion, and foreign objects, making the unit suitable for clean or sensitive areas.

The replaceable emitter pins allow for easy field maintenance, reducing downtime during repairs or replacements. The unit is designed to operate with 220V power sources, providing versatility for different setups. Additionally, it is NIST calibrated, ensuring accuracy and reliability through accepted procedures and standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Value for Money

The SBTI Sentinel II Benchtop Ionizer offers excellent value for money by combining high-performance static control with low-maintenance design features. The consistent offset voltage and superior discharge times ensure effective protection against electrostatic discharge, while the Sealed Plenum Air Flow and powder-coated housing contribute to a longer lifespan with reduced contamination risk.

The multi-mount stand with sealed bearing fans adds versatility, allowing the unit to be placed in various configurations. The Active Balancing System’s alarms help maintain optimal performance, while the replaceable emitter pins offer a cost-effective solution for maintenance. The power cord is sold separately, with options for Europe and UK plugs, making it adaptable to various regions. Overall, the SBTI Sentinel II Benchtop Ionizer is a reliable and cost-efficient solution for a range of static control applications.
