Transforming Technologies Bench Top Ionizer
Transforming Technologies Bench Top Ionizer
The Transforming Technologies Bench Top Ionizer is an AC ionizer blower for ESD-protected workstations — neutralizing static charges on non-groundable insulators, PCBs, plastic housings, and process materials within the operator’s work area. It delivers a steady stream of ionized air across the workbench surface, complementing wrist straps and ESD mats by addressing static on items that cannot be grounded. Suited for electronics assembly, rework, inspection, and other ESD-sensitive workstation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an ionizer if I already have ESD mats and wrist straps?
ESD mats and wrist straps ground conductors but cannot neutralize charges on insulators (plastic housings, PCB substrates, packaging). An ionizer floods the work area with balanced ions to neutralize those charges. ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires ionization when insulators with voltages above the process voltage limit are present in the EPA.
What is the difference between a benchtop and an overhead ionizer?
A benchtop ionizer sits on the workbench and blows ionized air from bench level. An overhead ionizer (BFN802LED, BFN803LED) mounts above the workstation, keeping the bench clear and providing broader coverage. Choose overhead when bench space is limited or wider area coverage is needed.
How often does the ionizer need maintenance?
AC ionizer emitter pins should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months depending on the environment to maintain ion balance and decay time performance.
