STABLO-AP DRY AIR, the World’s First Desktop Corona Discharge Ionizer Specialized for Dry Air Environments
Eliminating Static Electricity Problems in Battery Research, Development, and Manufacturing
The STABLO-AP DRY AIR, a desktop corona discharge ionizer specialized for dry air environments, is the world’s first ionizer specialized for dry air environments.
In recent years, with progress in carbon neutrality, battery research and manufacturing have become more active. Because moisture in the air adversely affects battery performance and safety, research, development, and manufacturing of lithium batteries and other rechargeable batteries are carried out in dry air environments. However, static electricity tends to occur in such environments, and battery performance evaluation and quality control have been hindered by the adhesion and scattering of powder samples. In dry air environments, the behavior of corona discharges is completely unlike that in standard atmospheric environments. Accordingly, corona discharge ionizers intended for standard atmospheres cannot provide sufficient static elimination. As alternatives, soft X-ray and vacuum UV instruments are available. However, shielding structures and safety measures are required, which increases installation and maintenance costs. This product adopts a proprietary discharge control system that can finely adjust frequency and voltage, achieving a low-cost and highly safe solution for static electricity control even in dry air environments.
- World’s First Desktop Corona Discharge Model Achieves Static Elimination in Dry Air Environments
- Can be Used in Three Configurations: Standalone, Balance-Integrated, or Hand-Held, and Also with Micro Compression Testing Machines
- Economical in Terms of Instrument Price and Running Costs
