EXAIR's durable 1" Flat Super Air Nozzle™ is a highly efficient, unique flat air nozzle. Their patented (U.S. Pat 5402938) design uses a special shim to maintain the critical position of the component parts. Air is released through the thin slot, across a flat surface. The result is a wide, forceful stream of high velocity, laminar airflow with minimal air consumption and noise. Force and flow may be easily increased or decreased by installing a different shim. It is available in zinc/aluminum alloy or Type 316 stainless steel.
Shim Sets - Shim sets for the 1" Flat Super Air Nozzles include a .005" (0.13mm), .010" (0.25mm), and .020" (0.51mm) thick shim.
Stay Set Hose - For applications where frequent repositioning of standard force Air Nozzles or Jet is required, the Flexible Stay Set Hoses™ are ideal. Simply mount the hose in close proximity to the application and bend it to aim the airstream at the target. Since the hose has “memory”, it will not creep or bend. It always keeps the aim until physically moved to the next position.
Swivel Fittings - make it easy to adjust the aim of the Air Nozzles and Jets. Correct placement of the blowing angle can help optimize performance, reduce noise levels and improve efficiency. Swivel Fittings permit a movement of 25 degrees from the center axis for a total movement of 50 degrees. Type 303 or 316 Stainless Steel.
Magnetic Bases - are suited to applications where frequent movement of the Air Nozzle or Jet is required. The powerful magnet permits horizontal or vertical mounting that will hold the blowing position of the Stay Set Hose. A shutoff valve is provided that can be used to vary the force and flow.
Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Flat Super Air Nozzle. The flow is directed to a precise, slotted orifice. As the primary airflow exits the thin slotted nozzle (2), it follows a flat surface that directs the airflow in a perfectly straight line. This creates a uniform sheet of air across the entire length of the Flat Super Air Nozzle. Velocity loss is minimized and force is maximized as the room air (3) is entrained into the primary airstream at a ratio of 40:1. The result is a well defined sheet of laminar airflow with hard-hitting force and minimal wind shear.
