SHOCKING! One Project Leads To Another

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

Here at EXAIR, we always have a promotion going. At this time of year, static electricity is running rampant due to the low moisture content in the air. This is easily seen in my garage, where I currently have several projects going. One of which includes a 1″ thick piece of rigid foam insulation, and another part of that same project includes about 10 sheets of drywall.

The main wall that started the project.
Before, there wasn’t even a frame there.

That project, finishing a basement area, also included making some plywood built-ins. Well, if you have ever cut plywood, then you know it can be quite dusty. Put that in a small space and just the dust floating in the air during these dry months resulted in the sheet of rigid foam which was standing up away from the cutting area now holding a nice layer of fine dust to the surface. This dust was all attracted to the surface by the static charge. The charge on the surface was ramped up from the movement to get it into the garage from the store, with lots of friction, attachment, and detachment. I could definitely benefit from something like the Gen4 Ion Air Gun to blow down the sheet and remove anything on the surface before I take it into the house for the project.

I made one cut on a sheet of plywood about 8 feet away from this foam insulation sheet. All the light-colored areas are sawdust that is now hanging on the surface.

Well, if I were to order the Gen4 Ion Air Gun Kit through the current EXAIR promotion, I would also be receiving a free A/C Sensor pen which I could have used to help me trace where voltage is present in our dryer, which decided to break in the middle of the basement project. Luckily, I was able to trace it down to a thermal fuse that had buildup on it. Thankfully, we now have the repair parts on order.

If your facility has dry ambient conditions right now in these winter months, and you are starting to struggle with sheets clinging together, packaging material clinging to products, or operators complaining of nuisance shocks from aspects of their daily tasks, we have a product that can help. Best of all, we have a promotion to deliver a FREE A/C Sensor pen with any EXAIR Static Eliminator purchase.

Whether you need a fixed solution like the Gen4 Super Ion Air Knife, Intellistat Ion Air Nozzle, or Gen4 Ion Air Cannon, maybe you need something that can travel from one workstation to another or is handheld like our Gen4 Ion Air Gun Kit, or the Intellistat Ion Air Gun. Maybe you don’t have compressed air available like I didn’t in the basement. As long as you have access to a standard 120 VAC 3 prong US plug or 230 VAC, then you can use one of the Gen4 Ionizing Points, a Gen4 Ionizing Bar, or even the Varistat Benchtop Ionizer. See the page at the link below for all the offerings and make sure you use the promotional part numbers to get the free A/C Sensor pen which can be used for electrical troubleshooting for free!

If you aren’t sure which static eliminator will be the best fit for your current application, I and the entire Application Engineer team are here to help. We all have knowledge and experience with the products and a wide variety of backgrounds, so we can help determine the best path forward for you and your team. Contact one of us today.

EXAIR Super Air Knife Promotion

Published on by Jordan T ShouseLeave a comment

Starting in November through the end of the month, order any EXAIR Super Air Knife and receive a free 1210 Soft Grip Safety Air Gun. This applies to all stock Super Air Knifes. The Model 1210 is a top pick for many industrial applications. With the ideal combination of forceful air flow, quite noise level, and compressed air usage there’s not many applications that aren’t suited for this style of gun. All EXAIR’s Safety Air Guns are compliant with OSHA 1910.242 (b), relating to dead-end pressure, and can keep your personnel safe. 

EXAIR has been manufacturing Intelligent Compressed Air® products since 1983.  In the beginning, the Standard Air Knives and Full Flow Air Knives were very effective at that time.  But as leaders in this industry, EXAIR did not want to stop there.  We were able to engineer a more efficient, more powerful, and much quieter air knife, the Super Air Knife.  In this blog, I will discuss the features and benefits that the Super Air Knives can offer.

Bernoulli’s principle explains how a high velocity fluid can generate a low pressure.  The EXAIR Super Air Knife creates a high velocity air stream to produce that low pressure to entrain ambient air.   What does this mean for you?  It will save you money by using less compressed air.  The mass of the ambient air is added to the compressed air stream to give it a strong blowing force.  The Super Air Knife has an amplification ratio of 40:1, which means that for every 1 part of compressed air, 40 parts of ambient air are drawn into the air stream.  Ambient air is free. Compressed air is expensive.  EXAIR was able to engineer a design to use Bernoulli’s principle to make one of the most efficient air knives in the marketplace.

What else makes EXAIR unchallenged?  We manufacture and stock the widest range of lengths and materials.  To start, EXAIR has Super Air Knives ranging from 3” to 108” (76 mm to 2,743 mm) in three different materials; aluminum, 303 stainless steel, and 316/316L stainless steel.  EXAIR also offers Super Air Knives in PVDF material with Hastelloy hardware for chemical resistant applications from 3” to 54” (76 mm to 1,372 mm).  Depending on the temperature requirement, chemical resistance, OSHA and FDA regulations, or application details, we probably will have one on the shelf for you.  If EXAIR does not have it, we can make special air knives in different lengths and materials to best fit your application.  You can read more about specials HERE. 


Air Knives are available in Super, Standard and Full-Flow styles, and all versions are able to be customized to a customer’s specific needs. For help solving any specific blowoff problems, please contact an Application Engineer. All Air Knives are CE compliant.

With today’s cost of making compressed air, it is important to use it as efficiently as possible.  The Standard and Full Flow Air Knives would be good options to use.  But the best way to conserve is with the Super Air Knife.  In the U.S. and Canada, EXAIR offers a 30-day unconditional guarantee on our cataloged items, so you can try them out.  You can see for yourself how effective these compressed air guns can be.  If you have any questions about the Super Air Knife or if you would like to discuss an application, you can contact an Application Engineer at EXAIR.   We will be glad to help you.  And until December 31st, 2024, EXAIR is offering a free Soft Grip Safety Air Gun, a $115.00 value, as a complimentary gift for qualifying online Super Air Knife purchases.

EXAIR Cold Gun Promo Starts November 1st!

Published on by Jordan T ShouseLeave a comment

That’s right, with the start of November this year we also start our Cold Gun promotion. This promotion runs from the start of November until December 31, 2023. The best part is that Cold Guns have a long history of providing spot cooling solutions for industry. Cold Guns have been cooling product and processes for over 36 years! Take advantage of the current promotion today!

From left to right: EXAIR Mini Coolers, Cold Guns, and Adjustable Spot Coolers come with Magnetic Bases for instant installation.

The EXAIR Cold Gun promo is a great way to receive an additional tool to extend the use of the Cold Gun. With the purchase of a promotional Cold Gun System w/ Single Point Hose Kit or promotional High Power Cold Gun System w/ Single Point Hose Kit you will receive a Dual Point Hose Kit for free. This is a $48.00 USD value. The Cold Gun will drop your compressed air temperature by 54 °F when operating at 100 psig inlet pressure. Choose the standard point tip or the 1″ fan tip to blow the cold air. The total length of the flexible discharge hose is around 11″. If more coverage is needed, the promotional Dual Point Hose Kit gives around 5-6″ of straight hose before splitting into two smaller lines that offer both point or fan tip nozzles as well. This dual point can be used to reach both sides of larger diameter cutters and components that need a blast of cool air.

Single Point
Dual Point

The Cold Gun is easily setup in any machine that has a ferrous metal surface thanks to its integrated magnetic base that will hold the unit in place even when the machine is moving or vibrating. If you do not have ferrous metal available for the magnetic base, using rigid piping or even something like u-bolts to hold the unit into place is a common practice of customers who need the cooling and know the Cold Gun will perform.

Lastly, if you aren’t certain whether the Cold Gun is the solution, we have an entire team of Application Engineers here to discuss the application, and it is also backed by our 30-day guarantee so our US and Canadian based customers can order one, test it in their facility for 30 days. If they are not pleased with the performance for any reason, the item can be returned to EXAIR. If you want to discuss your application, contact us today!
