Video Blog: How to Rebuild an EXAIR Safety Air Gun

Published on by Leave a comment

While EXAIR’s safety air guns are of robust design, they do see some harsh environments and eventually some of the moving parts can wear out. EXAIR offers rebuild kits.

  • For the Soft Grip Safety Air Gun use part #1901A or #1901
  • For the Heavy Duty Safety Air Gun use part #1902

Here is a video on how to install the new components.

Combined Ideas Equal Great Outcomes

Published on by Leave a comment

easter breadBeing of Sicilian grandparents, whose children married into other nationalities, our family gatherings were a cornucopia of traditional foods. We did not pay attention to what they were supposed to be called, but knew the ones we liked and mom modified the ones we didn’t like so much. Just as our country is a melting pot of nationalities, mom’s recipe box was a blend of international cuisines.

For example, it is an old world tradition for the matriarch of the family on Easter to bake Easter Bread. This is a sweetbread with a colored Easter egg embedded in it. For Christmas anise cookies were a family favorite. So what does mom do? She combines the two recipes, substituting the bread dough for cookie dough. Each of us got to color our own egg and twist the dough around it in whatever shape we chose. It was not until adulthood, when I searched the internet for the recipe, that I discovered that this was not the traditional Easter bread.

Engineers see something that intrigues them, and they start thinking how they can use it for something.  How else can you explain the accumulation of ” stuff ” around their workspace?

EXAIR’s application engineers are an inquisitive bunch and are always looking for ways to help others find solutions to industrial problems. They talk with hundreds of engineers across every conceivable market segment daily. And, as with Mom, they combine recipes of success to solve your particular application.

Be Thankful and Be Giving

Published on by Leave a comment

Well, Thanksgiving continues to give… When I got on the scales this morning, it said that I had a whale of Thanksgiving. Add to that, I have enough leftovers to last me until Christmas! Although they will have spoiled by then, I cannot bring myself to throw away good food. My mother’s admonishing word’s “eat everything on your plate, there are starving children in China that would be happy to have it”. There in lies my post thanksgiving thoughts.

While many of us gorged ourselves, there are 17.2 million households, (1 in 7) here in America that do not know where their next meal is coming from. More than 16 million (almost 1 in 5) American children are at risk of hunger.  Almost 50 million Americans struggled to feed themselves and their children.

EXAIR, through its own behavior, helps to encourage its employees to help others. They have provided all of us a good example throughout the year as they have helped out a number of charities. The Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, St. Martin district-Saint Vincent de Paul, Special Olympics, Natalie Fossier Memorial Fund, and Capt. Seth Mitchell Memorial Scholarship have all benefitted. Many of us, individually, have chosen to help out within our communities, churches or local organizations. I am thankful to work for a company that provides this kind of example and encourages us to be at our best.

If, at all possible this year, please think of how you may help your communities and take some action on those thoughts.

Have You Sent That Card Yet?

Published on by Leave a comment

Ah it’s that time of the year again. Christmas card signing, addressing, stuffing them into an envelope, lick them closed, put on a stamp, go to the mailbox and mail them. Afterwards the painful paper cuts serve as a lingering reminder of the drudgery of it all. My wife reveled in this but with her passing I am stuck with it.

I mitigated some of the drudgery by using mailing and return address labels along with self sticking stamps. An improvement but still a pain. This year I am going to try a greeting card service. You can make your own personalized card. They will print it, stuff it, and mail it. One feature that I am particularly interested in is that you can create a birthday/anniversary list. When the date comes up they will remind you. No more forgotten birthdays and I don’t have to go to the store to get a card.

We are in the age of electronic automation and EXAIR is on the cutting edge when it comes to virtual communications. Need to contact one of our engineers? Go to our contacts page . Click on the name of the engineer you wish to contact and it will bring up your email program and start one for you. Also if you click on the v-Card you can add that engineer into your address book with just one click.

If you are on the run, you can use your cell phone to access our website which is optimized for cell phones. Need to send a visual to explain your application, take a picture with your phone and send it our application engineers.

And…we are only a phone call away 1-800-903-9247.
