Selecting the Right Air Nozzle
EXAIR manufactures a wide selection of Air Nozzles and Jets, which are divided into two groups. The first group of Standard Force Air Nozzles includes Air Nozzles and Jets that deliver force up to 22 ounces (624 grams) and are suitable for most applications. The second group of High Force Air Nozzles includes Air Nozzles that produce high force up to 23 lbs (10,43 kg) where additional reach and force are required.

Safe and Efficient Use of Compressed Air
The inefficient use of compressed air for blowoff applications may create problems due to the energy costs, noise level and potential danger to personnel who are exposed to high pressure air. Open air pipes, copper tubes and drilled pipes are a few of the common abusers. They consume tremendous amounts of energy and often produce noise levels over 100 dBA.
Reduce Energy Costs
The best way to cut energy costs is through proper maintenance and use of the compressed air system. Leaks and dirty filters require maintenance on a regular basis. Energy savings can also be realized when replacing outdated compressor motors and controls with high efficiency models that often pay for themselves in a short period of time.
The most important factor to dramatically boost efficiency is proper use. Using engineered products like EXAIR's Super Air Nozzles can cut operating costs since they use only a fraction of the compressed air of typical blowoffs. In addition, all of EXAIR's Air Nozzles and Jets can be cycled on and off with an instantaneous response. EXAIR's EFC is an electronic flow control that limits compressed air use by turning on the air only when a part is present.
Reduce Noise Levels
High noise levels are a common problem for many plants. Compressed air noise often exceeds OSHA noise level exposure requirements, resulting in hearing loss to those working in close proximity. Noisy blowoffs at 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR) that produce noise levels of 100 dBA can be reduced to only 74 dBA when using a Super Air Nozzle. At that pressure, it is still possible to obtain hard-hitting force without the high noise.
Eliminate Harmful Dead End Pressures
Air can be dangerous when the outlet pressure of a hole, hose or copper tube is higher than 30 PSIG (2 BAR). In the event the opening is blocked by a hand or other body part, air may enter the bloodstream through the skin, resulting in a serious injury. All of the Air Nozzles and Jets manufactured by EXAIR have been designed for safety. All are safe to be supplied with higher pressure compressed air and meet OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.242(b).
Stay Safe
If an air hose, open pipe, or copper tube has an outlet pressure that's greater than 30 PSIG, a worker can be seriously injured or killed if they block the opening with a hand or other body part. At that pressure, it is possible for air to enter the bloodstream through the skin (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard CFR 1910.242(b)). Every one of EXAIR's Air Nozzles have been designed to prevent that blockage at any pressure. If you are currently using open pipe or commercial nozzles for your blowoff or cooling operation, you're already well aware of how loud it can get. These devices can produce noise levels that are well over 100 dBA. OSHA warns that an unprotected worker can only work for 2 hours in the proximity of 100 dBA noise before permanent hearing loss will occur (OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.95(a)). For instance, EXAIR's Model 1100 Super Air Nozzle has a noise level of only 74 dBA at 80 PSIG yet still produces .8 lbs of strong blowoff force!Save Money
One item that is often overlooked when auditing your company's expenditures is the cost of compressed air. On a 24 hour production line, reducing average compressed air use by even one Standard Cubic Foot per Minute (SCFM) can result in a savings of over $130 per year and, replacing open tubing or a commercial nozzle with an engineered nozzle from EXAIR can reduce air use by 50-70%!Save Time
Now that you know why you should pick EXAIR's engineered nozzles, here's an easy way to do it!
