As anyone tried using an air knife to clean off their substrates as they go into the laminator?

That would create a lot of static and possible contaminates from the airline. It could be done if filtered properly. Also you could use a filtered blower motor that has a long straight narrow opening for cleaning the substrate before entering the laminator. Just like the ones big companies use to clean plastic sheet rolls before thermal forming.

I was looking at something like this. We do a lot of mounting to PETG that is saw cut and it tends to be full of static and dust.

I would think this would blow dust all around the shop and back down.
I think a good (dedicated) hepa shopvac (fein) with a nice wide brush tip would be a better place to start and just vac them clean. You can only blow so much stuff off as things tend to stick and air just cant remove everything.
