When Choosing An Ionizing Fan, Avoid The Following Four Misconceptions

With the development of industrial technology and the improvement of product process, the control of static electricity in production is becoming more and more strict.

Ionization blower is one of the indispensable static elimination equipment and the most common ionization equipment. Especially semiconductor, panel, 3C and other related industries.

However, there are many manufacturers of ionization blower, there're imported and domestic, high-end and low-end, intelligent and manual, DC and AC, etc.

Therefore, many people will enter the ionization blower selection of the misunderstanding, Considering the factory in the purchase of ionization blower, you can refer to the following four points in order to prevent being deceived and purchased to the unsuitable ionization blower.

Misconception 1

An ionization blower is a cutting edge high voltage discharge module, which is the same for any manufacturer.

Many factories may make this mistake when purchasing. Of course, there is no excuse for this. After all, ionization blowers are used minimally in some factories and take up negligible purchasing costs. In addition, purchasers are not technicians. There is no difference. In fact, it is not, just as some people think that cell phone assembly plant only buy all the screen, flex board, camera, shell, battery, antenna and other accessories to make the finished machine. Different brands have much more differences, such as how much high pressure is needed to let the tip discharge, positive and negative ions, how much to ensure that the non-reverse charge, ion balance can be controlled within ± 10V, etc., and not all manufacturers can do.

Misconception 2

Ionization blowers are consumables. Anyway, it has to be replaced, just buy the cheap one.

Some factories directly position the ionization blower as an anti-static consumable and replace it every six months or a year. At the same time, the procurement cost is controlled very low. The cheaper it is, the more they like it. In fact, this has entered an endless cycle. The higher the replacement frequency, the lower the compression cost. Strictly speaking, the ionizing fan cannot be considered a consumable. It is just a small auxiliary device. Its service life is determined by the site environment and frequency of use, as well as the quality of the ionization fan. The environment and frequency cannot be changed. The quality of the ion fan is very important... The core components of the ion fan discharge needle steel needle, tungsten needle, silicon needle, steel needle cost the lowest penny, followed by tungsten alloy needle, silicon needle price is the highest, the most cost-effective is the tungsten needle; There is also a component It is a high-voltage module. The cost of an ordinary transformer is only ten RMB. The other is a single piezoelectric ceramic iron oxide. It has good high voltage stability. The cost ranges from tens to hundreds of dollars. Now it is better to upgrade to dual piezoelectric ceramics. Good quality and definitely longer service life, of course the price will be higher.

Misconception 3

Ionization blowers do not require maintenance and inspection.

This is a common problem in many domestic enterprises. The author feels that the ionization blower is only used for customer audits, regardless of its quality, or even a blower that only blows air. This is a highly irresponsible practice. The role of the ion fan is to prevent the occurrence of electrostatic discharge. Although the effect of static electricity on the product is invisible to the naked eye, not necessarily affected, so it is easy to be ignored, but once the electrostatic discharge occurs, the defective rate of the product will increase or even a higher quality risk, the loss outweighs the gain. In addition, the ionization fan needs regular maintenance. Because the tip of the ionization equipment for a long time discharge, there will be oxidation adsorption of dust, the ion release is reduced, in addition to the effect of static electricity greatly reduced. However, there are already maintenance-free and maintenance-free ionization fans on the market. Free to set the cleaning time. Ionization fans are generally checked monthly or quarterly, depending on the factory, to ensure the effectiveness of use.

Misconception 4

Only imported ionization blowers can meet high static elimination requirements. Domestic ones are low-end products.

It may be that China's industrial level has not yet reached the level of the United States, Japan and South Korea. After all, we still have to start a few decades late, but some brands of ionization blower can still compete with the imported ionization blower, but most domestic manufacturers are still all stuck in the low-end machine level. Japan's Keyence should be the leader of this industry, SMICO, SSD followed. Domestic Anping electrostatic cost-effectiveness is comparable to imports.

In addition to price and quality when buying ionization fan, but also pay attention to after-sales service. Imported products may be good quality, but supporting services may not be able to keep up. Such equipment requires manufacturers to arrange at least two times a year on-site inspection of technical personnel, because the ion fan abnormalities, production line downtime will cause a lot of waste and reduce production. Therefore, the ion fan in the selection must be carefully considered, recognize the misunderstanding, find the best cooperation brand.

If you have a static problem, Anping Static can provide you with a complete set of static electricity diagnosis + elimination recommendations.

1. First help you determine where there is static electricity, or the amount of static electricity in the specified location

2. According to your production process, equipment space structure, static electricity elimination range, static electricity elimination requirements, select the appropriate product test

3. Diagnosis and test after the submission of a complete report on static electricity

4. Make reasonable suggestions for the use and installation of the electrostatic eliminator.

5. Provide you with detailed training and lectures on static electricity.
