Transforming Technologies IN6430 Ionizing Air Gun (Two Filters, One Installed)
Transforming Technologies IN6430 Ionizing Air Gun (Two Filters, One Installed)
The Transforming Technologies IN6430FL package combines an IN6430 ionizing air gun with two filters, one installed. The gun provides targeted particulate blow-off and high-frequency AC ionization to help neutralize static charge that attracts contaminants to product surfaces. Ptecâ„¢ piezoceramic technology locates the ionization power supply in the handle, avoiding a separate bulky high-voltage cable.
Best Uses / Applications
- Point-and-shoot static neutralization and particulate removal at assembly benches.
- SMT and electronics assembly.
- Automotive packaging and sensitive-material handling.
- Cleanroom and laboratory processes after qualifying the gas supply and filtration arrangement.
Key Features
- Ptec piezoceramic technology with 68 kHz AC ion emission.
- Integrated air/power cable with strain relief.
- Ergonomic handle for targeted blow-off.
- Controller with mounting holes and power/alarm indicators.
- Two filters, one installed, per this listing's package description.

The manufacturer reports typical offset-voltage and discharge-time measurements per ANSI/ESD STM3.1 using a charged plate monitor with a 20 pF, 6 × 6 in plate. Verify performance at actual working distances and gas pressures. Use the specified 20–75 psi operating range, not the 90 psi point in the illustrative graph. Component weights above are not packed shipping weights.
Two-Filter Package vs. No-Filter Listing
| Consideration | This IN6430FL package | No-filter listing |
|---|---|---|
| Filter supply | Two filters, one installed | No filter included |
| Core ionization | IN6430 Ptec AC | IN6430 Ptec AC |
| Gas quality | Still requires qualified CDA or nitrogen | Requires suitable gas treatment for the process |
| Maintenance | Include filter inspection and replacement | Follow gun and upstream gas-system instructions |
Frequently Asked Questions
How many filters are included?
This IN6430FL listing identifies two filters, one installed. The manufacturer datasheet describes the filter option generally; package quantity comes from this listing.
Does it need compressed air?
Yes. Supply clean dry air or nitrogen at 20–75 psi, in addition to electrical power. Confirm connection compatibility and gas quality for the process.
What electrical input does it require?
The datasheet specifies 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The ionization power supply is in the gun handle, with an integrated air/power cable.
How often should filters be replaced?
The manufacturer specifies replacement at least yearly, more often depending on the environment. Follow operating instructions and process gas-quality requirements.
What does the decay-time specification mean?
It is a typical time below 2 seconds to discharge a charged plate from 1,000 V to 100 V at 12 inches. Actual results depend on geometry, distance, gas supply and operating conditions.
Does filtration establish cleanroom suitability?
No. The manufacturer lists cleanroom and laboratory applications, but qualify the complete gas supply, filtration arrangement and process for the environment. The filter specification alone does not establish a cleanroom classification.
