Electrostatic discharge blowers of the SJ-F2000/5000 series are particularly used for wide discharge areas. The particularly fast discharge performance and the high-precision ion balance together with the wide air flow support optimal discharge for large components. Ions generated are fed into the discharge area in accordance with the electrostatic charge of the component in order to initiate a maximally effective discharge. The SJ-F2000/5000 series electrostatic discharge blowers offer high performance and excellent user-friendliness in the form of a maintenance-friendly housing and preventive wear and dirt deposit protection of the electrode.
