Ionix Technologies

What Ionix Technologies does

Ionix Technologies, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, manufactures mechanical static elimination cartridges that install directly into compressed air lines. The company's core technology makes passing air electrically conductive via the physical force of airflow, with no electrical wiring, high-voltage components, or radioactive materials required. This allows the device to prevent static from forming on surfaces being blown off and to dissipate existing static charges, addressing a problem (friction-induced static from compressed air) that affects material handling, surface finish quality, and ESD-sensitive electronics.

The product line is organized around pressure rating and application. Standard cartridges (PL300, AF200, WF200) are rated for blow-off lines under 50 PSI with 3/8" ID hoses; the HPPL 300 extends coverage to lines from 50 PSI up to 150 PSI with 3/8" or 1/2" hose options; and the GA200, GA300, and GA400 Series are sized by hose diameter (1/2" to 2") and sheet size for sheet-fed printing presses. Complete kits bundle each cartridge with 25 feet of air hose, an air gun, and hose clamps. Five vertical-specific SKUs target printing and packaging, plastics processing, wood finishing, auto refinishing, and electronic assembly.

The business model is one-time hardware sales with no recurring subscription or service contract. Revenue is generated through direct phone-based consultative sales (800-246-1784), a dedicated e-commerce storefront (TheIonixStore.com), and reseller channels via graphic arts dealers and service technicians in the printing vertical. Products are made in the USA with 100% US components, carry a 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee and a 6-month defect warranty, and are recommended for replacement after 2,000 hours or one year of use. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, leadership team, or financial reporting.

Core offering

Ionix Technologies designs, manufactures, and sells mechanical static elimination cartridges that install inline with compressed air hoses to make the air electrically conductive. The cartridges are used during blow-off, drying, conveying, and surface-prep operations in printing, plastics processing, wood finishing, auto refinishing, and electronic assembly. Products are offered as individual pressure-rated units (PL300, HPPL 300, AF200, WF200) and Graphic Arts series (GA200/300/400), as well as complete kits bundling the cartridge with hose, air gun, and clamps.

Product overview

Ionix Technologies manufactures mechanical static elimination devices for compressed air lines, in operation since 1994. The product line consists of two core cartridge types differentiated by pressure rating: (1) Standard units (PL300, AF200, WF200) rated for use under 50 PSI, and (2) HPPL 300 high-pressure units rated up to 150 PSI. The GA200/300/400 Series are specialized models for graphic arts and printing press applications, sized by sheet size and hose diameter. All Ionix static eliminators are mechanical cartridge devices that install directly into compressed air hoses—no electrical wiring or nuclear materials required. Accessories include hose-and-gun kits bundling the cartridge with 25 feet of hose, an air gun, and clamps. The products serve five primary industry verticals: printing/packaging, plastics processing, wood finishing, auto refinishing, and electronic assembly.
