EXAIR’s Engineered Air Nozzles and Air Jets offer an effective solution for reducing both compressed air consumption and noise levels during blow-off operations. Compared to traditional open copper tubes, pipes, and standard air nozzles, these products can achieve compressed air savings of up to 80%. This significant reduction in air usage also leads to a notable decrease in sound levels, with an average noise reduction of 10 dBA. Furthermore, all EXAIR Air Nozzles and Jets comply with OSHA standards regarding dead-end pressure and sound exposure limits.
EXAIR Nozzles are expertly engineered to utilize the Coanda effect, which enhances airflow by up to 25 times through the attachment of high-velocity fluid to surfaces. Compressed air is released through small openings in the nozzle, drawing in surrounding air and creating a powerful blast of high volume and velocity while consuming less compressed air. The company offers a diverse range of air nozzles, from the compact yet potent Atto Super Air Nozzle to the larger 1-1/4 NPT Super Air Nozzle. Additionally, EXAIR provides Flat Super Air Nozzles and Back Blow nozzles, specifically designed for cleaning tubes, pipes, channels, or holes ranging from 1/4 inch to 16 inches in diameter.
Our Air Nozzles are designed to comply with or surpass OSHA Standard 1910.24(b) regarding dead-end pressure at 30 PSIG. They are engineered to prevent dead-ending, ensuring that there is always an escape route for the air, which means the outlet pressure will not reach 30 PSIG. Furthermore, our products adhere to OSHA Standard CFR 29 – 1910.95(a) concerning permissible noise exposure levels. EXAIRAir Jets leverage the Coanda effect to enhance air movement in their environment. A small volume of compressed air is accelerated through an internal ring nozzle at supersonic speeds, creating a vacuum that draws in significant amounts of surrounding or ‘free’ air. The resulting exit flow is a mixture of these two air sources.
EXAIR produces two types of air jets: High Velocity and Adjustable, crafted from brass and Type 303 Stainless Steel. The High Velocity Air Jet features a replaceable shim that allows users to adjust the gap, thereby regulating the air’s force and flow. In contrast, the Adjustable Air Jet does not utilize a shim; instead, it incorporates a micrometer gap indicator and a locking ring, enabling users to modify the performance in terms of force and flow as needed.

EXAIR Reversible Drum Vac (left) and Heavy Duty Dry Vac (right) Two Industrial Vacuums – wet AND dry – for less than the purchase AND operating cost of a dual Venturi vacuum.
EXAIR produces a variety of industrial pneumatic drum vacuums designed to effectively manage spills and debris in diverse environments. These vacuums are characterized by their safety, quiet operation, and the absence of moving parts or electric motors, which enhances their longevity and reliability. With a proven track record of durability, the Industrial Housekeeping Products line includes systems tailored for both dry and wet materials, as well as a versatile option that accommodates both types. In this blog, I will focus on our Heavy Duty Dry Vac System.
A prevalent problem associated with dry materials is the premature failure of electrical motors due to dust accumulation. In many electrically powered vacuums, this dust can lead to the deterioration of motor bearings, often resulting in a loud screeching sound. In contrast, EXAIR’s Heavy Duty Dry Vac System features no moving parts, eliminating wear and maintenance needs, and operates solely on compressed air. It includes a static-resistant hose to prevent electric shocks when handling dry, dusty materials. Constructed from hardened alloy steel, the Heavy Duty Dry Vac offers exceptional abrasion resistance and generates a powerful vacuum of -60” H2O (-15 kPa) at 80 PSIG (5.5 bar), making it suitable for use with sandblasting materials, garnet, and steel shot. Additionally, its efficient and durable bag filter effectively contains dust within the drum while allowing air to escape.
We offer three drum sizes—30-gallon, 55-gallon, and 110-gallon—tailored to your specific application and material volume needs. Each drum is equipped with a Heavy Duty Vacuum that operates on just 68 SCFM (1,924 SLPM) of compressed air at 80 psig (5.5 bar). To suit various requirements, we provide different packages for each drum. The standard package includes essential components such as the drum lid with necessary hardware, a side latching lever lock, a shutoff valve, a filter bag, 10 feet of static-resistant vacuum hose, a hose hanger, 20 feet of compressed air hose, a pressure gauge, and an aluminum chip wand. For those seeking more features, the Deluxe package adds a drum dolly, heavy-duty aluminum tools, and a tool holder. Finally, the Premium package encompasses all items in the Deluxe package along with a steel drum.
