All the Hoses, Tubing, and Accessories Necessary for Your Intelligent Compressed Air Products®

Published on by Tyler DanielLeave a comment

In order to make sure you’re able to get the most out of your Intelligent Compressed Air Products from EXAIR, we offer a wide variety of various hoses and tubing to complement several of our product lines.

For any Line Vac Pneumatic Conveyor application, you may need appropriate tubing to handle the intake and outlet flow of the conveyor. EXAIR offers a clear reinforced PVC hose from stock in sizes ranging from 3/8” to 3” ID for use with our smooth Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Heavy Duty Line Vacs. The PVC hose is available in lengths up to 50’ in 10’ increments and is on the shelf ready to ship, alongside the Line Vacs themselves. The hose is very flexible with a smooth internal bore that eliminates material build up. The reinforced, heavy wall of the clear hose provides visual confirmation that the material is moving when compressed air is supplied to the Line Vac. These hoses are rated for use in temperatures ranging from -4 to 150°F (-20 to 66°C).

 To help supply air to your Safety Air Guns, we offer (3) different styles of 12’ (3.6m) coiled hoses to help keep the area free of tangled air lines. Sizes are available in 1/8 NPT x ¼” ID, ¼ NPT x 3/8” ID, and 3/8 NPT x 3/8” ID. Each coiled hose has swivel fittings installed on either end for ease of installation.

If you need a bit longer length to supply your point-of-use products, or need a larger diameter hose, we also have both 3/8” and ½” ID compressed air hoses. These are manufactured with a reinforced synthetic rubber to assure long life and protection against ozone, weathering, and temperatures up to 158°F (70°C). Hose lengths are available in 10’, 15’, 20’, 30’, 40’, and 50’.

For EXAIR’s E-Vac Vacuum Generators, polyurethane vacuum tubing (along with various push-in fittings) is available to help connect to the necessary vacuum cups. The tubing comes in either ¼” ID or 3/8” ID in lengths ranging from 10’ to 50’. This allows you to build up a complete vacuum system when including the mufflers, vacuum cups, and generator itself!

All of these options are available from stock to ship alongside any Intelligent Compressed Air Product. If you need help determining the proper hose sizes based on your point-of-use products get in contact with an Application Engineer today for help!

Don’t Forget the Hoses – Benefits for Compressed Air Applications

Published on by johnball2014Leave a comment

EXAIR offers different styles of hoses and tubes as accessories to our product lines.  They are built and designed to easily fit with our products as well as being sized correctly to not affect performance.  It simplifies the use, setup, and integration of EXAIR products in your facility.   You do not have to find the proper diameters, pressure ratings, and end fittings that will work and maximize the performance.  EXAIR has them in stock and ready to ship. In this article, I will go over the different types of hoses and tubes that EXAIR can offer.

Coiled Hose

Coiled Hoses: To get compressed air from the piping system to the Safety Air Guns, we offer a series of Coiled Hoses.  They are made of a durable abrasion-resistant nylon material that is 12 feet long (3.6 meters).  They have swivel fittings to allow for easy uncoiling, and a spring strain relief to keep the hose from kinking.  The coiled design makes it easy to reach around the work area and retract back to the substation.  This will help to keep the hose off the ground where potential dangers could occur.  We offer 3 different connection sizes of 1/8” NPT, ¼” NPT, and 3/8” NPT to attach right to the Safety Air Guns.  With the proper size, the Coiled Hoses can supply the required amount of compressed air with a minimal amount of pressure drop.

Compressed Air Hose

Compressed Air Hoses: If you need a compressed air line to reach from overhead or around equipment, the EXAIR Compressed Air Hoses would work with these applications.  They are made from a reinforced synthetic rubber in 3/8” I.D. and 1/2” I.D. diameters.  We can make specific lengths up to 50 feet (15m).  They are rated for 250 PSIG (17 bar) air pressure, and the hose material works well for long-lasting protection against ozone, weathering and temperatures up to 158oF (70oC).  They come with two male ends in ¼” NPT or ½” NPT.

Flexible and durable, EXAIR Stay Set Hoses come in lengths from 6″ to 36″.

Stay Set Hoses: The Stay Set Hose gives you that possibility of manually adjusting or re-adjusting Super Air Nozzles.  The hose has a “memory” function, and it will not creep or droop until you physically move it.  They work well to direct air flows in specific target areas.  They can be used with Super Air Nozzles, Safety Air Guns and Blow-off Kits.  The Stay Set Hoses come in lengths from 6” (15cm) to 36” (91cm), and they are offered with ¼” NPT male on both ends or with a 1/8” NPT female and a ¼” NPT male connections.  These hoses are rated for 250 PSIG (17 bar) and are made from reinforced synthetic rubber.  If positioning is required for accurate blowing or re-positioning for different applications, the Stay Set Hose would be a nice addition to your equipment.

Conveyance Hose – 3/8″ – 3″

Conveying Hoses: The hoses above are used with our Air Operated Conveyors or Line Vacs.  The Line Vacs are designed to move product from point A to point B.  If the Line Vac is the “vehicle”, the Conveyance Hose is the track.  The hoses are made of a durable PVC semi-flexible hose with 6 different diameters from ¾” I.D. to 3” I.D.  The conveyance hose can slip easily onto the non-threaded style of the EXAIR Line Vacs.  EXAIR can cut-to-length Conveying Hoses up to 50 feet (15m); in increments of 10 feet (3m).

Vacuum Hose

Vacuum Tubing: For our E-Vac product line, EXAIR offers vacuum hoses to connect the E-Vac vacuum generators to the suction cups.  They are made from polyurethane in ¼” O.D. and 3/8” O.D.  The vacuum hose is very flexible for moving product, and they can resist the vacuum pressures created by the E-Vac.  They slip into our Push-In Connectors to quickly attach vacuum cups to the E-Vac system.  EXAIR can sell both sizes up to 50 feet (15m) in increments of 10 feet (3m).

Hoses and tubes may seem like simple things, but EXAIR already did all the research in determining the best material and correct size for optimum performance.  You can leverage this information to save you time and money when using EXAIR products in your application.  If you need help in selecting the correct model, you can contact an Application Engineer.  We will be happy to help you.

EXAIR Hoses and Tubes are Great Accessories

In this article, I will go over the different hoses and tubes that EXAIR can provide.

Safety Air Guns: Chip Shields, Extensions, and More

Published on by Leave a comment

Over the last several weeks, you may have read blog posts regarding the EXAIR Safety Air Guns.  You can find the blogs here, here and here. We are also in the midst of a Safety Air Gun Promotion, please click HERE for more details on how you can get a free 1″ Flat Super Air Nozzle. Today, I want to review a few available options for the Safety Air Guns.

Protect Workers From Flying Debris! – Chip Shields are durable polycarbonate shields that protect the operator from flying debris often seen when blowing off chips from machined parts. They are also useful to prevent coolant from splashing back, creating a mess during drying processes.

The Chip Shields are available for EXAIR’s VariBlast, Soft Grip, and Heavy Duty Safety Air Guns. The Chip Shield can be used on Safety Air Guns with or without an aluminum extension. They may be purchased as part of a new air gun system, or retrofitted as a Chip Shield Kit.  Consult an Application Engineer for selection assistance.

 

If you have a blow-off process where the air is to be directed at a distance away from the operator, or into a hard to reach location an extension is the solution. Available in lengths from 6″ (152mm) to 72″ (1829mm), with sizes as shown below, a length to meet most any requirement can be found. To add an extension to an air gun, simply add -xx to the current part number.

And, if you need a 12′ coiled air hose, to use with your Safety Air Gun, we have them available and in stock. Available with 1/8 NPT, 1/4 NPT or 3/8 NPT male end swivel connections. Avoid tangled and messy air lines and keep things neat!
