1.2 Air Gun Assembly
Simco-Ion’s Top Gun is an ionizing air gun that produces an intense
air flow rich in both positive and negative air ions. Directing the air
flow on an item that has a static electricity charge will neutralize the
charge and clean the item. It is ideal for cleaning items that have
developed a static charge due to handling or fabricating processes.
If the item has a negative static charge, it will draw positive ions from
the air flow. If the item has a positive static charge, it will draw
negative ions from the air flow. The air ions are attracted to the
oppositely charged item thereby neutralizing the static charge on
the item.

Top Gun uses low current, high voltage to energize an ionizing
cartridge located just beneath the filter-nozzle. In this position,
ionized air from the cartridge is routed into the air flow from the
nozzle. The transformer that provides power for the cartridge is
located in the power unit along with the solenoid and control circuit.
This makes the gun as light as possible. Ion balance is controlled by
