<strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Ionizing</strong> <strong>Blowers</strong> – <strong>AS</strong>-<strong>20AF</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>XP</strong>-<strong>20F</strong><br />
Description<br />
Simco’s Aerostat® <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Ionizing</strong> Air<br />
<strong>Blowers</strong> are highly efficient, extended range<br />
static eliminators designed to neutralize<br />
static charges on materials with free moving<br />
air behind them. The Aerostat <strong>AS</strong>-<strong>20AF</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
the Aerostat <strong>XP</strong>-<strong>20F</strong> units work with SIMCO<br />
power supplies to eliminate the problems<br />
caused by static in rugged industrial<br />
ENVIRONMENTS. They reduce the buildup<br />
of stubborn charges during operations such<br />
as slitting <strong>and</strong> rewinding, plastic parts<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling, <strong>and</strong> packaging processes.<br />
The <strong>AS</strong>-<strong>20AF</strong> blower features a disposable<br />
air filter, adjustable air volume control, <strong>and</strong><br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard 6 foot power cable for proper<br />
connection to the appropriate SIMCO high<br />
voltage power supply.<br />
<strong>AS</strong>-20-AF<br />
<strong>XP</strong>-<strong>20F</strong><br />
The Aerostat <strong>XP</strong>-<strong>20F</strong> <strong>Ionizing</strong> air blower is designed specifically for use in Class I, Division 1, Group<br />
D, hazardous areas where the neutralization of static charges is critical for both personnel <strong>and</strong><br />
environmental safety. The <strong>XP</strong>-<strong>20F</strong> unit can be powered by SIMCO’S non-incendiary power supply<br />
mounted within the hazardous area or an appropriate SIMCO st<strong>and</strong>ard power supply mounted<br />
remotely, outside the hazardous area, according to local code restriction.<br />
