4-1. Features 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Easy maintenance

　・ Electrode needle can be cleaned easily (not available with competitor).

　　 Since enclosure of an electrode needle can be removed from ionizer, the needle can be cleaned without any adverse effect to operating environment of the ionizer.

　・ Electrode needle can be replaced (not available with competitor).

　　 If the needle performance did not restore even after clean, it can be replaced to new one.

Improving static electricity elimination performance　・ Static electricity elimination performance (actual)　　 Static electricity elimination time: 2.0 secs Ion balance: 4.6 V (fluctuation)
