It’s as easy as Pi

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

First off, I would like to say happy Pi Day!  To anyone that has to deal with math every day, or if you are a nerd like myself (and most of the rest of the crew here), then you know your 8th grade math teacher wasn’t lying when she said you’ll use this when your an adult.

So here at EXAIR the wonderful Professor Penurious has graced us all with pie for Pi day.

Wow, there is a TON of pie around here today!!

As I sit here eating a wonderful piece of cherry pie, I am thinking of how I had a customer that was wanting to buy the smallest Atomizing Spray Nozzle we offer, they currently had a model EB1040SS which is our largest External Mix Wide Angle Flat Fan Spray Nozzle.  Due to the versatility of our Liquid Spray Nozzles, instead of buying an entire new nozzle, the customer was able to simply buy just an Air and Liquid Cap.  They were extremely pleased with this solution due to the fact it is merely a trial situation and they aren’t quite sure what they need to achieve their goal.  What they do know is, they can buy multiple caps to interchange on their single body and perform all the testing they wish to determine what will cover their plethora of applications.

If you have any questions or would like see which of our versatile products will fit your application, please let me know.

You Can Never Have Enough Information

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

In case you don’t normally read the EXAIR blog, the general consensus among all the engineers here is that you can never have enough information.  To ensure that we pass on as much information as possible to our customers we have added even more to our website.  This time, we have given a vast amount of information on our Atomizing Spray Nozzles.

All of the information can be found on the page shown below.

This information will allow you to easier select the appropriate Atomizing Spray Nozzle for the application.  Whether it is spraying a liquid coolant onto a drill press to help cool and lubricate the operation or painting parts, the information is there to help better assist you the customer.

Take a look at the new page and if there is anything that you don’t see there, let us know.  We may still have it in our files, if not, maybe we can get it for you fast.

What Else Do I Need?

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

This question comes up a good amount when a customer calls in and asks about an EXAIR Product.   What else do I need in order to get this thing up and running.   It will depend some on the application the customer is trying to solve and some on the equipment the customer may (or may not) have in house, and some on how convenient and easy the customer would like to make the whole process. Let us look at the Industrial Housekeeping products, more specifically the Reversible Drum Vac Systems. (Mainly because this is the most recent product I have had a customer ask what else he needs to buy.)

The customer had already chosen a 55 gallon system (other systems available include a 30 and 110 gallon). When we look at the three different 55 gallon systems we offer, there is a clear difference in the number of items included in each kit.  The #6196 is a basic Reversible Drum Vac Kit.  For a unit like this, all you need to do is to provide a compressed air source and a tightly sealed 55 gallon steel drum. The picture below will show each item that is included in the kit.

6196

If you are worried about some liquid spills on the floor and you would like to get some extra pick up tools and a dolly for the steel drum you are providing, then the #6296 Deluxe Reversible Drum Vac System is for you.   It will include everything from the basic system plus, a drum dolly, Spill Recovery Kit, magnetic tool holder, and extra plastic tools.  Again, the only items you will need to supply are the air compressor, and the tightly sealed 55 gallon drum.

6296

The final solution that EXAIR offers is everything you need, the whole kit and caboodle if you will. This kit prevents sourcing compressed air supply line and a closed top drum. It’s all in the box – with the exception of an air compressor. In the #6396 Premium Reversible Drum Vac System you will received the drum, everything in the Deluxe Kit, but some of the tools that were plastic get upgraded to aluminum tools.   This gives you the complete solution with a few clicks on our website.

6396

Throughout all of our product lines we give you the option to choose the best solution and most convenient package to get the problem solved quickly. We hold stock on all of our products (and accessories) so we can ship same day when we receive an order by 3:00 pm est.  We have the necessary accessories for you to get our units in and simply plug them in to your compressed air supply.  Why go to multiple sites or vendors when they are all in one place.

Recap Of Mother’s Day Week 2013

Published on by Brian FarnoLeave a comment

This has been a busy week; here at EXAIR and at home.  Between Mother’s Day on Sunday, EXAIR Softball Practice on Tuesday and Thursday, some new product releases and finally ending tonight with a night of me watching my daughters while my wife enjoys a night out with friends.

First, for Mother’s day I found a project to build a squirrel feeder out of a fence post and glass jar.   So I built the feeder and the present from our daughters is that they get to decorate it with their mom.  (The squirrels are lucky that we don’t own a bedazzler …yet).

Second, as my blog last week mentioned, the Softball team is coming together.  A good number of us went to a local field and hit the ball around for a few hours Thursday. It was nice to leave all the titles behind and just be a group of friends playing ball.  I do have to mention that so far we have had no injuries, other than lots of soreness from unused muscles.

No drip

Third on the list is that EXAIR is offering a full line of No Drip Atomizing Liquid Spray Nozzles now,   if you have a precious liquid, or if you can’t have over spray or dripping of the liquid then our No Drip Nozzles are the solution to your problems. The new nozzles don’t require an extra valve or separate air line.  Simply install it just like any other Atomizing Spray Nozzle from our line and then when the air pressure reaches 30 psig the internal valve will open allowing liquid flow.  Simply turn off the compressed air to stop the flow and not a single drip of liquid will escape.

As for tonight, the plans will be determined by a three year old and I will simply be the chauffeur.
