Tempest Benchtop Ionizing Blower for Industrial Applications

Features

The Tempest BTI Benchtop Ionizer is designed to neutralize static charges on surfaces through balanced ionized airflow generated by AC high voltage. It offers flexibility in placement, with options to position it at one end of a workbench or mount it on a wall or shelf. The ionizer is most effective when positioned 12 to 48 inches directly in front of the target work area. Key features include:

• Compact BenchTop Design: The compact size makes it suitable for limited workspace environments.
• Auto-Balanced Ionization: Ensures consistent ionization to eliminate static charges efficiently.
• Dual Fan Speed: Allows users to select between high and low speeds for optimal airflow.
• Built-In Heater: A switched heater provides warmed airflow for additional comfort during use.
• Adjustable-Angle Mounting Stand: Adaptable for benchtop, shelf, or wall mounting.
• Integrated HV Electrode Point Cleaner: Maintains the ionizer’s performance with minimal maintenance.
• Powder Coat Finish: Durable white coating that protects against corrosion and wear.
• Meets ANSI/ESD STM3.1 Standard: Ensures compliance with static charge neutralization standards.

Additional features include an air-intake filter for optional use, low conductive emissions, and a self-balanced high-voltage ionizer circuit with stainless-steel fine-ground electrodes. These elements make the Tempest BTI a reliable and adaptable solution for static charge elimination.

Performance

The Tempest BTI Benchtop Ionizer provides consistent and reliable static charge neutralization. The dual fan speed allows for customization of airflow, with a high setting delivering 600 FPM and 76 CFM at 12 inches. The auto-balanced ionization system maintains a typical balance of 0±10 V under ambient temperature (65°F to 80°F) and relative humidity (15% to 65%). The integrated heater warms the airflow by 15°F above ambient on low fan speed and 8°F on high speed, providing additional comfort in cooler work environments.

The ionizer operates on single-phase mains AC power (120V at 60 Hz, 2A max.) and includes a 5A time-delay fuse for safety. The powder-coated steel chassis ensures durability, while the adjustable-angle mounting stand offers flexibility in positioning. The ozone emission is maintained at a low level (0.01 ppm), making the Tempest BTI suitable for environments where ozone levels must be controlled.

Value for Money

The Tempest BTI Benchtop Ionizer offers excellent value for money, combining compact design with robust performance. Its flexibility in mounting and adjustable-angle stand allows for easy integration into various work environments. The dual fan speed and built-in heater add versatility, while the auto-balanced ionization ensures consistent performance. Compliance with ANSI/ESD STM3.1 standards guarantees its effectiveness in static charge neutralization, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive equipment and improving overall work quality.

With a low-maintenance design and integrated electrode point cleaner, the Tempest BTI requires minimal upkeep, further enhancing its value. The inclusion of an optional air-intake filter provides additional customization for specific applications. Overall, this ionizer is a cost-effective solution for industries where static charge elimination is crucial, such as electronics, medical device manufacturing, and other industrial applications.
