The Gen4 Ion Air Jet includes an armored high voltage cable to protect against abrasion, cuts, splits and other damage from the environment. It induces surrounding airflow at a ratio of 5:1, minimizing compressed air use and maximizing ionized airflow. Force can be adjusted from a “blast” to a “breeze”.

The compact Gen4 Ion Air Jet is ideal for permanent mount applications, because it is lightweight and easy to install using the 1/8 NPT male inlet.
