ION TWIST Technology

Electrostatic cleaning for bulk and small parts

Key Facts

  • Cleaning system with turbulent air and shock pulses
  • Components pass through a cleaning tunnel with integrated ionisation
  • Step-by-step reduction of contamination via successive cleaning chambers
  • Particularly suitable for small-component products
  • Our ION TWIST technology offers an advanced solution for the effective cleaning of small and loose components, such as in bulk materials and goods. The components are transported through several chambers in a specially developed cleaning tunnel, whereby contaminants are efficiently removed using a combination of a compressed airstream and active ionisation.

    During the process, the components swirl over cleaning ramps, which help to release the dirt and remove it from the component surfaces. At the same time, an integrated active ionisation ensures that electrostatically clinging forces between the particles and the component surface are neutralised.

    The loosened particles are then safely captured in a suction system and fed to a filter unit to ensure thorough and effective cleaning results.

    3. 3

      Ionisation

      Electrostatic binding forces between material and particles are actively neutralised with focused positive and negative ions. These ions are attracted to the oppositely charged areas of the material surface respectively.

    4. 4

      Flat jet nozzles

      The compressed air nozzles produce a focused jet of compressed air that effectively loosens contaminants from the material and at the same time transports the components from chamber to chamber through the cleaning area.

    5. 5

      Suction

      The dust-laden output air is safely captured via the suction grid integrated in the back and fed to the ESUC suction and supply unit.

    4. 4

      ESUC Suction, filter and supply unit

      The ION TWIST is supplied, controlled and monitored by an ESUC suction, filter and supply unit.

    5. 5

      Compressed air maintenance unit

      Compressed air must be provided via a suitable maintenance unit with filter control valve and if necessary, with water and oil separator. The compressed air hose of the product is connected to this unit where the needed cleaning pressure can be adjusted.

    6. 6

      24 V DC connection cable

      The ionisation electrode can be supplied with a standard connection cable via the SI module installed in the ESUC suction, filter and supply unit.

    7. 7

      Compressed air hose

      The compressed air supply is done with a plug-in connection.
