Very few applications are exactly alike. In fact, many applications have very specific needs; only a certain material will work, or a specific amount of force is needed, or the air flow needs to be directed at just the right location. You will have a hard time finding more flexibility and customization than with our Air Nozzles and Jets when combined with our Stay Set Hoses.
EXAIR’s Air Nozzles come in a variety of materials, including Zinc-Aluminum, Stainless Steel Type 303 and 316, Brass, and PEEK (plastic). Each of the materials will cater to different situations – PEEK is non-marring for working with sensitive products. Stainless steel can withstand high temperatures when that is a concern.
In addition to multiple materials, EXAIR’s Air Nozzles can also produce a wide range of forces from 2oz all the way up to 23lbs. Whether you need a precise blowoff, or a forceful blast, we have you covered. With all of these variations, we have over 70 different nozzles to choose from!
Even with all of these options, there is one thing all of EXAIR’s Air Nozzles and Jets have in common. They are all designed to be compliant with OSHA 1910.242(b), which states “the use of compressed air for cleaning purposes at pressures at or greater than 30 psi is permissible if the outlet or source is fitted with a relief device that drops the pressure to less than 30 psi if the flow is dead-ended”. Our design achieves this by preventing the openings from being blocked off. This also has the added benefit of helping entrain the ambient air, making them very efficient in their compressed air usage.
Once you add in our Stay Set Hoses, the customization increases exponentially. Our Stay Set Hoses have a memory function, so they won’t creep or droop until you physically move them. They are perfect for directing the air flow in a particular direction, or at a specific target. The Stay Set Hoses come in lengths from 6” (15cm) to 36” (91cm), and they have threaded connections with either 1/4” NPT male on both ends or with a 1/8” NPT female X 1/4” NPT male thread. The hoses are made from reinforced synthetic rubber and have a maximum pressure rating of 250 PSIG.
Whatever the specifics of your application are, we are sure to have a great solution. If you would like to discuss options for your application, feel free to contact me.
