Tight-turning trucks, proof-of-delivery apps help manage distribution
Paxton Products’ new Ionized Air System can be used to remove particulates, dust and contaminants from surfaces by using its powerful ionization capabilities coupled with Paxton’s centrifugal blowers and air delivery systems. Ionized airflow neutralizes static charges in order to release contaminants from container walls or product surfaces. This also prevents particles and dust from adhering to the inside or outside container walls; eliminates a need for water rinsing, which in turn saves on filtration, drying and water disposal costs; reduces the risk of microbiological growth caused by moisture in water rinses as well as the potential of water and oil contamination caused by compressed air; and creates a surface free of dirt, dust and particles to improve surface finish, the company says. The Ionized Air System includes 304 stainless steel delivery devices and mounting hardware designed to withstand washdown environments; inlet and outlet filtration; nozzle manifolds to reach inside containers and irregularly shaped surfaces; and more active emitter points contained within the manifold or knife to increase ionization performance while promoting durability, safety and a consistently clean ionizing bar, the company says. The patent-pending design also increases performance while reducing maintenance, effectively reducing energy usage by as much as 80 percent if used instead of ionized compressed air systems, it says.
