Dear customer,

Electrostatic charges occurring during production processes often cause

severe disruptions, reducing production speed and product quality.

The R55 Ion Blower Head and the PR55 Ion Blower Pistol are both com-

ponents of the established Eltex discharging system with outstanding

range and depth effect.

The powerful decoupling effect of neutralizing charge particles supported

by the blown air results in a high degree of efficiency in discharging, even

at larger distances from the product.

The air exit profile is tuned to the discharging and/or ionization gap such

that the transition from pile to shingle stream is possible even at high cycle

rates. In reverse order, i.e. when going from shingles to copies, the ion

blower head allows straight-edged stacking at high process speeds. Also,

shingle stream separation is greatly improved.

Charged surfaces binding dirt particles can be efficiently discharged both

with the blower pistol and with the blower head, removing dust effectively

before print finishing.

The air flow exiting from the hole-type nozzles is turbulent. Due to its opti-

mized flow geometry, the fishtail nozzle delivers a target-specific spot air

flow for long ranges.

The compact design of the new ion blower head and its high efficiency

allow a wide variety of applications.

Please read these instructions carefully before starting the unit. This will

help you prevent personal injuries and damage to property.

Simply give us a call if you have any suggestions, proposals or ideas for

improvements. We greatly appreciate the feedback from the users of our

appliances.

Design variants

R55 ion blower head

Ion blower housings (axial and radial design) and two different nozzle

inserts are available:

• hole-type nozzles (turbulent air flow)

axial: R55/AL, radial: R55/RL

• fishtail nozzles (optimized flow geometry for maximum reach)

axial: R55/AB, radial: R55/RB

R55E ion blower head

Combination bar body, nozzle and permanently connected high voltage

cable

PR55 ion blower pistol

Ion blower pistols available:

- with and without filter

- with and without flexible tube (only with balancer)

- with top air connection (with and without balancer) or

with bottom air connection

- two different ion blower housings

• hole-type nozzle

without filter, top air connection, with balancer: PR55/PL

without filter, top air connection: PR55/OL

without filter, bottom air connection: PR55/NL

with filter, top air connection, with balancer: PR55/HL

with filter, top air connection: PR55/GL

with filter, bottom air connection: PR55/FL

• fishtail nozzle

without filter, top air connection, with balancer: PR55/PB

without filter, top air connection: PR55/OB

without filter, bottom air connection: PR55/NB

with filter, top air connection, with balancer: PR55/HB

with filter, top air connection: PR55/GB

with filter, bottom air connection: PR55/FB

To protect the blower heads from damage, the heads are fitted with pro-

tective rubber edging.

Brackets:

• Standard bracket with steel angle pieces

• Universal bracket (rods)

The different design versions can be freely combined in any configuration.

To prevent damaging, we advise the use of a balancer together with an ion

blower pistol. The cable routing is made parallel to the air routing in a spi-

ral tube (see Fig. 2). A balancer without air and cable routing is available

as optional equipment under article no. 111569.

A design with grease filter is available for ultra-clean blowing air. The

grease filter solely serves to eliminate grease and fat particles from the

piston gear of the blower pistol. Cleaned apparatuses air must be used as

compressed air.

2. Safety

The units have been designed, built and tested using state-of-the-art engi-

neering, and have left the factory in a technically and operationally safe

condition. If used improperly, the units may nevertheless be hazardous to

personnel and may cause injury or damage. Read the operating instruc-

tions carefully and observe the safety instructions.

2.1 Proper Use

The ion blower head R55 and the ion blower pistol PR55 must be used

only for discharging static surfaces, for separating stacked or wound

sheets, and for cleaning dusty surfaces.

The ion blower heads R55 and the ion blower pistol PR55 must be opera-

ted only together with the 5 or 6 kV AC Eltex power supplies which ensure

an optimum match with the required operating conditions. Other uses are

not permitted.

The manufacturers will not assume any liability and warranty if the units

are used improperly or used outside the intended purpose.

Modifications or changes made to the devices are not permitted.

Use only original Eltex spare parts and equipment.

2.2 Identification of risks and hazards

Possible risks and hazards resulting from the use of the units are referred

to in these operating instructions by the following symbols:

Warning!

This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations

which, if carried out improperly, may result in serious personal injuries.
