Desco Europe Bench Top Ionisers

Ionisers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, ElectroStatic Discharge, ElectroStatic Attraction, as well as preventing equipment latch-up.


"Ionizers are used when it is not possible to properly ground everything and as backup to other static control methods. In clean rooms, air ionization may be one of the few methods of static control available." (ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 Ionization, section 5.3.6.1 Introduction and Purpose / General Information)


Bench Top Ionisers are normally placed at one end of the workbench or area to be neutralised. They may also be mounted to a wall or shelf using the adjustable universal arm 60466.


Our Bench Top Ionisers use steady state DC ionisation. Experience has found that steady state DC ionisers work effectively with a modest airflow suitable for sensitive items, soldering operations, and where operator comfort is a concern.




Bench Top Zero Volt IoniserThe EMIT Bench Top Zero Volt Ioniser is a compact and lightweight
steady state DC auto-balancing bench top worksurface ioniser with
an integrated closed-loop feedback.


The Ioniser's neutralisation discharge time will be best approximately
30cm to 122cm directly in front of the unit and will increase as the
distance from the unit increases.



  • Voltage offset controlled to ±3 Volts typical
  • Features steady state DC ionisation and EMIT's patented (US Patent #4,974,115) Sense Feedback balancing
  • Rapid Access Maintenance
  • Provides automatic balancing of the ionisation system
  • Sealed "Thru-Tunnel" air flow design
  • Communication via RS485 compatible data output with a host computer

Mini Zero Volt IoniserThe EMIT Mini Zero Volt Ioniser (ZVI) 2 is a compact bench top ioniser
used for neutralising electrostatic charges on insulators and ungrounded
conductors in a 15cm x 61cm coverage area. Its compact size allows it to be
used in confined spaces such as environmental chambers and automated
equipment. It may also be used at standard ESD workstations.
