Negative Ionization

The system generates negative ions that bind to harmful particles present in the air. This process modifies the electrical charge of the particles and promotes their agglomeration.

HOW IT WORKS

1 – Negative ionization

2 – Capture of harmful particles

3 – Transformation into sediments

4 – Collection in a retention tray

ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATION AND CAPTURE

Once charged, the particles undergo an electrostatic precipitation process: they are attracted to collection surfaces or aggregate with ambient humidity. This mechanism enables contaminants to be captured directly at the source, before they disperse into the work environment.

AGGLOMERATION AND DENSITY PROCESS

Ionization promotes the agglomeration of water molecules onto pollutants, increasing their volumetric density. This phenomenon makes particles heavier and reduces fume volatility: welding microparticles cluster into larger agglomerates that settle rapidly. These deposits on the ground are easier to clean than fine airborne dust, remaining outside the workers’ breathing zone.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Unlike traditional high-airflow ventilation systems, IonShield technology acts locally at the source by neutralizing fumes through physical interaction. By limiting dispersion, it significantly reduces the need for large-scale air extraction and, consequently, the associated energy consumption.

Up to 50%

reduction in GHG emissions related to heating

By reducing ventilation and heating requirements, IonShield lowers energy consumption in industrial environments.

Upcoming Technologies

We plan to integrate a digital monitoring platform that will provide access to real-time performance data.
