Utilizing EXAIR Accessories

Accessories

At EXAIR, we take great pride in our Intelligent Compressed Air Products, which are renowned for their efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements, thanks to their design featuring few or no moving parts. While we often highlight these advantages, we also do not want to overlook the importance of the accompanying accessories that enhance our products’ performance. These accessories play a crucial role in ensuring our compressed air solutions maintain their low maintenance and reduced noise levels, further solidifying their compliance with OSHA safety standards.

Compressed air filters and regulators are among the most essential accessories we offer, and we highly recommend their use with all our products, as well as with other brands. The Filter Separator effectively eliminates water, dirt, and rust from your compressed air system, while the 5-micron filter element prevents contaminants from clogging or damaging connected equipment. For more precise and additional filtration, an Oil Removal Filter should be installed downstream of the Filter Separator; it utilizes a 0.03-micron element to remove oil and solid particles. Our Pressure Regulators allow you to set the desired operating pressure, and we advise maintaining the minimum pressure necessary for optimal performance. This not only conserves air but also fine-tunes the efficiency of EXAIR products in various applications.

Good engineering practice calls for point of use filtration and moisture removal, such as that provided by EXAIR Filter Separators.
The Thermostat’s leads (left) are spliced into the Solenoid Valve’s ‘hot’ lead (bottom right), which essentially acts as the automatic temperature controlled ‘on/off’ switch for the Cabinet Cooler System. NEMA 4/4X versions include mounting hardware (top right).

We offer specialized accessories designed to enhance the performance of some of our products. For instance, our Line Vacs are complemented by the Line Vac Hose, while our Cabinet Coolers can be paired with Thermostats and Solenoid Valves. Additionally, we recommend Mufflers for optimal use with our Vortex Tubes. When it comes to our Air Knives, we provide several excellent options. The Universal Air Knife Mounting System offers a straightforward and dependable solution for mounting. For applications requiring longer knives or independent control of airflow sections, our Coupling Bracket Kits are ideal. Lastly, our Air Knife Plumbing Kits simplify the plumbing process for Air Knives exceeding 24 inches in length.

For those looking to connect Intelligent Compressed Air Products, we offer a range of compressed air hoses and fittings designed to enhance the convenience of installation. Coiled Hoses are an excellent match for our Safety Air Guns, providing greater mobility during operation. Additionally, our Compressed Air Hoses are frequently utilized with our Industrial Housekeeping products, ensuring that both the drum and dolly have the necessary reach for effective use.

Model 9256 6″ Stay Set Hose

If you are looking for an effective solution to mount or position your Air Nozzles, consider our Magnetic Bases, Stay Set Hoses, and Swivel Fittings, which can be combined to create a comprehensive setup.

Take Advantage of the EXAIR Cold Gun Promotion

Published on by jasonkirbyLeave a comment

EXAIR is pleased to announce the revival of its Cold Gun Promotion, which will be available exclusively through online channels. This promotion runs from November 1, 2024, until the end of the year, offering customers an exceptional opportunity to enhance their cooling capabilities. Those who purchase either the promotional Cold Gun System with a Single Point Hose Kit or the promotional High Power Cold Gun System with a Single Point Hose Kit will receive a complimentary Dual Point Hose Kit. This additional kit is equipped with standard point tips and 1-inch fan tips, enabling users to efficiently cool multiple surfaces of large-diameter cutters and components that necessitate effective cooling solutions. This promotion not only enhances the functionality of the Cold Gun Systems but also provides users with the tools needed to optimize their operations.

Cold Guns Systems

If you are seeking an effective method to prolong the lifespan of your tools by maintaining a cooler operating temperature without the complications associated with traditional coolants, our Cold Gun is an ideal choice. When connected to a source of compressed air, both the Cold Gun and the High Power Cold Gun generate a stream of clean, cold air that can reach temperatures as much as 50°F lower than that of the incoming compressed air. This innovative tool operates at a remarkably low noise level of just 70dBA and is designed with no moving parts, which eliminates the risk of wear and tear over time. Simply provide it with clean, dry compressed air, and you can expect it to function maintenance-free for many years, ensuring a reliable and efficient cooling solution for your needs.

The Cold Gun features a magnetic base that facilitates straightforward installation and mounting, making it a convenient choice for various applications. This innovative tool serves as an excellent substitute for traditional coolant mist systems, which can be both messy and costly. By utilizing the Cold Gun, users can significantly reduce expenses associated with the purchase and disposal of cutting fluids, while also mitigating health risks for workers who might otherwise be exposed to airborne coolant or face hazards from slippery floors. Furthermore, transitioning to a system that does not rely on coolant eliminates the necessity for additional cleaning processes following milling or drilling operations, thereby streamlining workflow and enhancing overall efficiency in the workplace.

 If you have any questions about Cold Gun promotion, or anything regarding EXAIR and our products, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would love to hear from you!

Mag Bases and Stay Set Hoses

Published on by jasonkirbyLeave a comment

When selecting a blowoff solution, the direction of the airflow is crucial and is typically determined through experimentation. Once you identify the optimal angle for your engineered compressed air nozzle, it is essential to ensure its stability. This is where our Stay Set Hoses and Magnetic Bases prove invaluable, providing the necessary support to maintain the desired position.

Our Stay Set Hoses feature a memory function that prevents them from creeping or drooping unless physically adjusted, making them ideal for directing airflow precisely where needed. To ensure their longevity, it is important to adjust them correctly. Available in lengths ranging from 6 inches (15 cm) to 36 inches (91 cm), these hoses come with threaded connections, either with 1/4-inch NPT male threads on both ends or a combination of 1/8-inch NPT female and 1/4-inch NPT male threads. Constructed from reinforced synthetic rubber, they can handle a maximum pressure of 250 PSIG and operate effectively in temperatures of up to 158°F (70°C).

Mag Bases come with one or two outlets. Stay Set Hoses come in lengths from 6″ to 36″.

Our Mag Bases are designed for quick attachment to any solid steel surface, providing a robust pulling force of 100lb (45.5kg) to securely hold your blowoff device in place, whether positioned horizontally or vertically. They offer the convenience of easy relocation when adjustments are necessary. Available in three configurations—1-outlet, 2-outlet, and a 1-outlet swivel—these bases feature a 1/4 turn shut-off valve for straightforward control, ensuring efficient use of compressed air by preventing waste when not in use.

 If you would like to investigate these products further or have questions about Mag Bases and Stay Set Hoses, or anything regarding EXAIR and our products, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would love to hear from you!
