Materials
Zinc Aluminum alloy - general purpose applications. Max temp 250°F (121°C).
Type 316 Stainless Steel - high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical wear. Max temp 1000°F (538°C).
PEEK Plastic - replaces metals in harsh environments. Offers chemical resistance and is non-marring. Max temp 320°F (160°C).
Accessories
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.

How EXAIR Air Nozzles Work |
|
 |
|
|
Air Nozzles use the Coanda effect to amplify compressed airflow up to 25 times or more. Compressed air is ejected through a series of nozzles on the outer perimeter. As the air travels along the outer wall of the nozzle, surrounding air (blue arrows) is entrained into the stream. The airstream that results is a high volume, high velocity blast of air at minimal consumption. The air is always ejected so it can vent safely, well below OSHA dead end pressure requirements, should the nozzle end be blocked. |

A Stay Set Hose positions and aims EXAIR Nozzle precisely where intended. -
EXAIR Super Air Nozzles are designed to entrain surrounding air to produce maximum airflow upon a target with minimal compressed air required. -
A Stay Set Hose and a Magnetic base make it easy to aim and mount an EXAIR air nozzle. -
Super Air Nozzles are available in zinc/aluminum alloy
