Choose the blower around the work area
An ionizing blower carries ions to the charged surface using a fan. Start with physical access and airflow tolerance, then verify charge decay and balance at the places where parts are handled.

Read decay time together with the test conditions
Scroll horizontally to read the test conditions.
| Model | Reported decay | Conditions and limits of comparison |
|---|---|---|
| ST-S200 | ≤1.5 s at 150 mm | Measured in front of the outlet. Start/end voltage, fan setting and ambient test conditions are not specified. Request them before comparing with other models. |
| ST101A | 1.2 s positive / 1.3 s negative at 300 mm | Directly in front; 1 kV to 100 V; 110/220 V supply; 22 °C, 75% RH. Reported fan setting is not specified. |
| ST104A | 1.1 s at 300 mm, centre | 1 kV to 100 V; 110/220 V supply; 22 °C, 75% RH. The table does not identify polarity or fan setting. |
| ST1200 | 0.9 s positive / 1.1 s negative at 300 mm, centre | 1 kV to 100 V; 110/220 V supply; 22 °C. Humidity and fan setting are not specified. |
These are selected points from the product pages, not a controlled comparison between models. Use the complete distance tables and confirm repeatable measurements across your target area.
Plan the airflow path and installation
- Find the charged work. Record material, measured surface voltage and the point where handling, peeling or friction creates the problem. Include the available treatment time.
- Check the path from outlet to target. Fixtures, guards and stacked parts can block ion delivery. Check the nearest, farthest and obstructed positions with the machine in its normal configuration.
- Allow for the operator and the process. Test whether airflow moves light parts, disturbs inspection or conflicts with extraction and cleanroom flow. Leave access to the inlet and emitter points for maintenance.
- Confirm mounting and power. Check the body dimensions, support load and supply voltage. ST-S200 uses DC 24 V; the three larger units list 110 V / 60 Hz or 220 V / 50 Hz versions.
Verify an ESD ionizer fan at the point of use
Use a charged plate monitor to evaluate positive and negative decay time and offset voltage. Record the distance, fan setting, test positions, plate setup, temperature and humidity so later checks use the same conditions. Confirm actual material charge separately using a suitable field meter and its specified measurement geometry.
Set acceptance limits for the components and process being protected. A blower complements grounding, wrist straps and other controls; it does not establish a complete ESD control program by itself.
Technical background: EOS/ESD Association — ionization and ESD controls. For a practical test checklist, see the ionizing bar guide.
When an ionizing bar or a cleaner is the better fit
For a moving film or sheet passing a fixed point, compare ST-G, ST-E and ST-F ionizing bars. A bar can follow the substrate width without adding a bench fan to the machine. Choose by mounting space, line speed and the available time to neutralize charge.
Ionization can reduce electrostatic particle attraction, but it does not collect the particles. If the process needs controlled removal and collection, compare industrial substrate cleaning machines alongside static control.
Match a blower to your process
Send a photo or layout, target area, material, outlet-to-target distance, cycle time and power supply. Include measured charge and required decay or balance limits when available.

Ionizing blower questions
What is an ionizing air blower?
An ionizing air blower uses a fan to deliver positive and negative ions to charged surfaces. It is used for static control at workstations and inside equipment, especially where insulating parts cannot be discharged by grounding.
Is an ESD ionizer fan the same as an ordinary fan?
No. An ESD ionizer fan includes an ion generator as well as a fan. Air movement alone does not provide a controlled source of both ion polarities. Select and verify the ionizer as part of the workplace ESD control program.
Does the coverage area specify the working distance?
No. Coverage describes an area; working distance is the gap between the outlet and the target. The listed area does not guarantee the same decay time or ion balance at every point. Check the actual distance, airflow path and acceptance limits.
Do these blowers require a compressed air line?
These four models use an electric fan to move air. Select the correct electrical supply and allow room for the inlet and outlet. A compressed-air gun or nozzle is a different type of equipment.
Can I replace an ionizing bar with a blower?
A blower is useful when air can reach a work area or irregular part. A bar is often easier to integrate across a moving web at a defined process point. Compare access, target width, available treatment time and airflow tolerance before changing the installation.
What should I send for a model recommendation?
Send the material, working area, outlet-to-target distance, a photo or layout, surface voltage if measured, cycle time or line speed, available power, and any airflow, cleanliness or monitoring requirements. Include your required charge-decay and ion-balance limits if known.
