MAGNUM FORCE
2. DESCRIPTION
The Magnum Force™ System eliminates static and removes particulate from flat and contoured surfaces
by combining a static neutralizing bar with a high penetration air knife. Air for the air knife is supplied
by a mid-to-high velocity blower.
Magnum Force’s shockless static bar delivers positive and negative ions to the surface via the air flow from
the air knife. If the object has a positive charge, it will draw negative ions from the air flow. If the object
has a negative static charge, it will draw positive ions from the air flow. The rich supply of both positive
and negative ions ensures that regardless of polarity, the object will be neutralized.
The Magnum Force can be equipped with an MEB, IQ Power, or R50 static bar. The MEB shockless
static bar is used in normal applications. IQ Power static bars are normally for air knives over 100”. The
R50 shockless static bar is used when a high charge is present on the material’s surface.
Particulate being held in place by a static charge is removed by the high velocity, ionized air flow from
the Magnum Force. By opening and closing the air knife’s vanes, the precise volume and velocity of air
needed to remove the particulate is delivered.
The Magnum Force’s blower provides the correct supply of air for your system. The blower gives energy
to the air at a lower, more efficient, pressure than a high pressure compressor. An inlet muffler is installed
to control noise level.
The Magnum Force comes in many different horse powers and sizes at 1800 RPM and 3600 RPM. The
1800 RPM series of blowers are ideal when light particulate and ionizing are required. Another benefit of
the 1800 RPM blower is that the noise level is at 78 to 82 decibels while the 3600 RPM blower produces
between 89 to 112 decibels. When heavier particulate or dust removal is necessary, 3600 RPM high
power, mid velocity or high power, high velocity blowers are best suited. The high power blowers provide
higher pressure and more volume at the blade of the air knife giving the air more energy to clean an object.
The Magnum Force System has many benefits.
• High penetration air knives are used on liquid blow-off
• Removal of the static charge allows particulate to be removed more effectively
• High performance air knives clean more efficiently
• Low-pressure blowers allow the job to be done less expensively
The static bar has sharp emitter points that emit positive and negative ions. The ions are delivered by the
air-flow to the surface to be cleaned. (see Figure 1).
The air knife is designed to provide a precise, continuous flow of high velocity air. Scientifically designed
curved blades direct the air-flow out of the knife and onto the surface to be cleaned.
