Dear customer,
Electrostatic charges occurring during production processes often cause
severe disruptions, reducing production speed and product quality.
The R36 ion blower nozzle, the PR36 ion blower pistol, the LR36 ion
blower nozzle bar and the EAR36E discharge adapter are components of
the newly developed discharging system with outstanding range and
depth effect. This is particularly important in winding reels up or down
because the reel diameter and therefore also the distance from the dis-
charging units changes. The powerful decoupling effect of neutralizing
charge particles supported by the blown air results in a high degree of effi-
ciency in discharging, even at larger distances from the product.
Charged surfaces which attract dirt particles can be effectively discharged
with the help of either the blower pistol or the blower nozzle, keeping the
surfaces free of dust before converting and finishing.
Designing the ion blower nozzle as an adapter allows the integration of
the ionization system into commercial blower nozzles. The combination of
ionization with a high degree of efficiency and flow-optimized air nozzles
results in synergies showing in excellent discharge performance.
The R36 ion blower nozzle, the PR36 ion blower pistol, the LR36 ion
blower nozzle bar and the EAR36A discharge adapter are characterized
by the following features:
• high degree of discharging efficiency
• compact design
• adapter design
• small dimensions
• easy installation
• flow-optimized air nozzle
• variable air supply
The compact design of the ion blower nozzles and its high efficiency allow
a wide variety of applications. Flexible ball-joint hoses allow the accurate
alignment of individual nozzles.
Each single nozzle is equipped with an air cock to select any desired flow
profile. The air can be connected to the existing air supply or to an
optional compressor.
The ion blower nozzle is used in fixed installations; the ion blower pistol is
designed for manual use.

The EAR36E discharge adapter is specially designed for neutralising elec-
trostatically charged and thus adhering pneumatically conveyed goods in
the hose system and/or a downstream metal hopper.
The injected ions discharge and loosen the adhering conveyed material
(granulate) and thus reduce the standstills required for cleaning the con-
veyor system.
Please read the operating instructions carefully before operating the unit.
This will help you prevent personal injuries and damage to property.
Please note and observe the safety and warning notices.
Please give us a call if you have any suggestions, proposals or ideas for
improvements. We greatly appreciate the feedback from the users of our
appliances.

To prevent damaging the nozzles, we recommend the use of a balancer
together with an ion blower pistol. A balancer is available as optional equip-
ment under article no. 111569.
The grease filter solely serves to eliminate grease and fat particles from pis-
ton gear of the blower pistol. Cleaned apparatuses air must be used as com-
pressed air.
