Utilizing EXAIR Accessories

Published on by jasonkirbyLeave a comment
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.

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.

If you have questions about our accessories, or anything regarding EXAIR and our products, please do not hesitate to reach out.

About EXAIR’s Reversible Drum Vac™

Published on by EricKuhnash@EXAIR.comLeave a comment

Looking back at my plastic injection molding days we would occasionally experience a hydraulic hose failing. Anyone who has witnessed this knows it can create quite a mess. If only I knew about EXAIR and their Reversible Drum Vac™ (RDV) back then as it would have made the cleanup process so much easier.

The RDV is a purpose built, compressed air driven, high powered vacuum used to empty and fill coolant sumps and clean up spills. It can fill a 55 gallon drum in less than 2 minutes and can attach to closed head 30, 55 or 110 gallon drum. Once the drum is full this same stainless steel pump can be emptied by a simple turn of of a knob. The RDV does not use electric and has no moving parts, assuring maintenance free operation. An automatic safety shutoff valve prevents spills or overfilling.

The RDV is, hands-down, a workhorse of a product. It has been relied upon for 30+ years to empty and fill coolant sumps on metal working machines. They function time and time again in machine shop environments with very little to zero maintenance required. If they should diminish in performance, they can be returned back to new condition in the field – most of the time. You can rely on these rugged and effective vacuums for decades.

EXAIR has a Mini (5 gallon) RDV System that delivers the same two-way action for small jobs. It comes complete with a 5 gallon drum and all the tools.
