EXAIR’s 2015 Year End Review!

In case you were too busy to notice, it’s 2016!  With the start of the new year I would like to review just a few milestones EXAIR reached which will help continue to serve our customers and provide solutions to manufacturing problems. The year was extremely busy for us and so far, 2016 is looking to be even better.

Throughout the course of the last year EXAIR has released hundreds of new products. We continue to increase our Atomizing Spray Nozzle product line and we received the official patent on our No Drip Atomizing Spray Nozzles. The No Drip versions of our spray nozzles have a patented design which helps conserve precious liquids, including water, while also preventing drips which could affect your product finish.

Our new line of Back Blow nozzles have been created to clean the inside of pipe, tube, hose, channel or shafts and prevent the operator from pushing debris further inside by directing the airflow and debris back out toward the nearest end. We have also outfitted our air guns with these nozzles to provide an easy to activate and ergonomic solution. EXAIR also expanded our swivel fitting, air operated conveyor, industrial housekeeping and Cabinet Cooler product lines. See our website for more information on these products. These new stock products ship same day on orders received by 3 PM EST for orders within the United States.

Custom products helped solve problems for hundreds of customers with manufacturing solutions that just didn’t quite fit the bill of our off the shelf products. Since we are a manufacturer (located in Cincinnati, OH) we have the ability to modify stock products, create custom solutions, provide timely information and fast lead times for special products. We blog about specials a lot and we continue to help customers with custom fit products that will surpass their expectations.

With all of the new products and customs, we continued to achieve higher levels of shipping accuracy.  We now have a 20 year streak of shipping complete, on time, correct orders if over 99.9%! There are not many companies that I deal with on a personal level or through EXAIR which can claim their accuracy is this high.

When we weren’t shipping orders or helping customers with custom solutions we also managed to post more than 1 blog per business day, I don’t even want to count the thousands of other Social Media posts we have done, and released numerous videos of tips and tricks for many of our products.

The message I am trying to get across is that we press forward here at EXAIR.  We are constantly making moves and trying to ensure that we offer our customers every item they may need, in a timely manner, correctly, of high quality, and easy to do business with.

That is the only way that we can continue to be the best company for Intelligent Compressed Air Products!

Guess What Today Is?

Well, if everything went as planned, this blog is actually being posted on Friday. However, I’m writing it on Wednesday.

Don't even think about saying it.
Don’t even think about saying it.

Our daily blogs are written a couple of days in advance, so that they can be reviewed. None of us ever draft anything that’s inappropriate. Not REALLY inappropriate, anyway…but they are indeed checked for grammar, content, accuracy, and quality. I’m probably the most conceited about my writing ability (and for good reason…see?) but I’m still humble enough to appreciate any suggestions for improvement. Heck, if they make it look better before anyone else sees it, I get to take credit for that, too. It’s not like you readers know what gets changed.  If you want to know what I’m like sans edit review, you can always follow me on Twitter.

If our system of blog review and posting proves anything, it’s that it never hurts to run your plan by someone else with experience in what you’re trying to do. Case in point:

I had the pleasure of discussing an Industrial Vacuum application with a customer recently. One of our Chip Vacs had been in use within their shop for a long time, and they were quite pleased with its durability and longevity. They had begun working with some hardened steel product a while back, and, over time, those chips & shavings had worn through the Chip Vac’s aluminum body.  They wanted to order a replacement Chip Vac unit, and perhaps keep another in stock for when that one wore out, and were simply calling for price and availability.

Our solution, instead, was to provide a Heavy Duty Dry Vac. They didn’t need the complete system; just the Model 6097 Heavy Duty Dry Vac unit itself, since it’s dimensionally identical to the Chip Vac. They just unscrewed the Chip Vac on the drum lid, and threaded in the Heavy Duty Dry Vac.

The EXAIR Chip Vac and Heavy Duty Dry Vac Systems.

It’s too soon to know for sure, but all signs point to a long, useful life. In fact, we’ve borne that theory out with in-house testing with numerous abrasive materials. We posted a video a while back, showing the effects of abrasive material conveyed through our Line Vac products: both the standard aluminum, and the hardened alloy Heavy Duty ones.  You can see the results for yourself, here.

If you’d like to get expert suggestions on your compressed air application, please give us a call.
