Ion Systems

05/01/1998

In its efforts to bolster contamination control research and education, Ion Systems, Berkeley, CA, has donated and installed a room ionization system in the newly opened Class 10 cleanroom at Brevard Community College in Palm Bay, FL. Designed as a world-class flat panel display material handling test facility, the Brevard cleanroom was built in conjunction with the United States Display Consortium (USDC), which plans to use the new cleanroom to provide its member firms with a test facility for cooperatively developing advanced display technology. The 5000 Series Room Ionization System from Ion Systems will help the facility neutralize static charge, thereby reducing potential product damage and increasing production capacity. The system consists of a controller and ceiling emitters, which provide uniform ionization throughout the open areas of a cleanroom.
