EXAIR Knowledge Base: A great and powerful tool

Knowledge is Power.  At EXAIR, we’re committed to providing our customers with the tools necessary to fix problems and train staff members with a selection of many different types of offerings.  We call this the “Knowledge Base”.  We have them segregated into different criteria to give you that “been there, done that” solutions.  There’s a ton of valuable information, and best of all, it’s all FREE!

Within our Knowledge Base, you’ll find case studies that highlight examples of applications where we’ve helped customers improve their processes, save money by reducing compressed air consumption, and improve worker safety. There’s a list of FAQs categorized by product line, a library of calculators to help estimate the savings you’ll experience, and a list of application examples.

In addition, we also have a library of previously recorded webinars that are free to view at your convenience.  We cover topics like inefficient vs. engineered nozzles, static generation, and finding and fixing leaks, to name a few.  In addition, we have videos that include product functions, informal videos, and tips and tricks for using our products.  We also include Application Assistance and an Efficiency Lab which will allow recommendations and performance comparisons. 

Don’t let these free resources go to waste.  You will have to sign in to EXAIR’s website, which is easy to do.  To find this wealth of information, just click on “Resources” in the top banner (as shown in the photo below).  It is a “one-stop” spot that gives available solutions with our Intelligent Compressed Air® Products.  

If you have pneumatic issues with blow-offs, cooling, cleaning, conveying, coating, or needing to conserve compressed air, we may have already solved this for you.  Don’t feel like we’re leaving you to figure everything out on your own. In addition to all the resources available to you within the Knowledge Base, EXAIR has a team of highly-trained Application Engineers with experience in a wide variety of industries and processes. There’s a good chance one of us has dealt with a similar application, and we’ll be happy to help point you in the right direction.

EXAIR Webinar 11/7/18 2pm EDT: Understanding Static Electricity

Halloween has passed, temperatures are dropping, and you’ve had enough of constantly raking up leaves. It’s clear to everyone that summer is over (much to my dismay). As temperatures decline, so too does the amount of moisture in the air. As this happens, issues related to static electricity begin to increase. If you’ve ever walked across a carpeted surface, only to be shocked as soon as you touch a doorknob, you’re familiar with the effects of static electricity. In addition to painful shocks, static can contribute to a variety of problems within industrial processes.

We’ve talked here on the EXAIR blog about several of these different applications. Some examples include: removing static on plastic packaging, stopping dust from clinging to product, or aiding in part removal in an injection molding application. These types of applications can certainly occur year-round, but the absence of humid conditions dramatically increases the potential for them to occur.

They key to combating static electricity is first understanding how it it’s generated and how to test for it. To help you gain some more knowledge about static electricity and the problems it can cause, EXAIR is hosting a FREE webinar this week. Within this webinar you’ll learn how to identify a static charge, the series of events that are causing the charge, as well as various ways to eliminate this nuisance.
