Just My Size

Published on by exaircorpLeave a comment

So, I was spending some daddy/son time with my 5 year old this past weekend, (5 and a HALF if you ask him), when he asked me about my new job and what kind of “stuff” I helped our customers with. So we got on our tablet and I showed him our website, EXAIR.com. I decided to start off with our Super Air Nozzles because I thought he might be able to relate a little after seeing me use my portable compressor to blow off my workbench, sawdust, etc. in our garage.

As we scrolled through the section we came upon our Atto Super Air Nozzles. Well, that was the ONE for him! He was so excited that we had nozzles that were, per his words, “just my size” and he wanted to know when I was going to bring him one home.

Of course, as with most children, I could see his wheels turning as he was trying to come up with ways that he could use these to push his cars around or blow the dirt out of his Power Wheels dune buggy or maybe just blow some air at our dog, you know, just for fun. (By no means would I condone this behavior.)

Since we offer the Atto Super Air Nozzle in both 316SS and PEEK material, I asked him which one he thought he would want…… BIG decision for a 5 year old! (Well, 5 and a HALF). Of course the answer was, “just get me both daddy because they are little, just my size”.

Take a look at our extensive Super Air Nozzle selection.  The fact is that we fit any “size” from 4x.05 metric to 1-1/4″ NPT and almost every size in between, as well as multiple material options.   No matter what your applications size, or environment, chances are we will have a Super Air Nozzle that will fit it, if not then we have twelve other product lines that might just fit the need.  Feel free to check the website, EXAIR.com, and check out our Super Air Nozzles. I can guarantee there will be something to fit your application, or “just your size”, if not we’ll take it back under our 30 day guarantee.

Chip Vac Removes Aluminum in Cladding Machining Operation

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting with a local manufacturer to showcase our Industrial Housekeeping products.  As a premier national manufacturer of glazing and cladding, they identified a need for increased efficiency within their manufacturing processes.  (The term “cladding” is more well-known in other parts of the world; here in the U.S. we typically refer to it as “siding”.  Essentially, it is the exterior skin of a building, and it includes all moisture barriers and materials used to cover the outside of a structure.)  The specific need for EXAIR products came during a solution seeking process for their machining operations.

During machining, aluminum chips accumulate within the workspace, creating difficulties with completing a machining run.  What the end user needed in this application was a way to remove the chips from the machining center, preferably so they could be collected in a container outside of the CNC.

This type of application is a perfect fit for a Chip Vac or Heavy Duty Dry Vac, so during an initial conversation with the end user, these were my recommended solutions.  Torn between the two, and located only 10 minutes from EXAIR, they requested a demonstration.  So, I set the demos up, we discussed application intricacies such as the mounting location for the vacuum hose, and the end user was able to make an easy decision regarding purchasing.  (After seeing each system in person, it was determined that the Chip Vac was the best solution.)

With so much taking place via email and over the phone, it’s refreshing to sit down with an end user face-to-face and to have them see the product work.  Realizing that this can’t happen every time, we make great effort to support our products over the phone, via email, through polished and informal videos, and in any other way our customers request.

If you have a need for EXAIR products, or wish to discuss an application solution, contact an EXAIR Application Engineer.
