EXAIR’s Turboblast Safety Air Gun – As Powerful as Olympic Weightlifters?

Published on by Tyler DanielLeave a comment

As a competitive powerlifter, I’m always excited to watch Weightlifting during the Summer Olympics. While the lifts themselves differ from power lifting competitions, it never ceases to amaze me how powerful some of the lifters are. Regardless of which style of lifting you participate in, one thing always rings true – consistency is key! That’s why here at EXAIR we’re committed to providing high-quality products that are shipped from stock the sameday. If there’s one thing you know you can always count on with EXAIR, it’s consistency. In every year of my tenure here (over 14 years), we’ve achieved a 99.8% or better on-time shipping rate, with the lone exception being during the COVID pandemic in 2020.

Olympic weightlifters aren’t the only ones generating power this week. EXAIR’s Turboblast Safety Air Guns are helping customers in facilities all over the world handle tough applications. When power is of the utmost concern regarding a blowoff, the Turboblast Safety Air Gun is the ideal fit – offering up to 23lbs of force with our largest nozzle.

See for yourself on video as the gun easily blows a large adjustable crescent wrench across the shop floor with ease:

Each Turboblast gun is also available with an optional adjustable gate valve. If the application requires a bit more “fine-tuning” than just a standard on/off, the adjustable gate valve can allow the operator to make finite adjustments on-the-fly without having to adjust the air pressure supplied upstream.

Now through the end of September, we’re running our Safety Air Gun Promotion. Order any Turboblast (or other air gun) and receive a free 1” Flat Super Air Nozzle. Get in touch with an Application Engineer today to discuss how we can help improve the efficiency in your blowoff processes.

Just introduced into the market is EXAIR‘s New TurboBlast Safety Air Gun. Using EXAIR’s largest Super Air Nozzles, the TurboBlast Safety Air Gun delivers the most powerful force of any gun with a comfortable easy-to-use handle.

Models are available with an adjustable gate valve that allows for easy adjustments to the air consumption and force with a simple turn of the adjustment valve. All models are available with or without the gate valve and with 1′ (included on base models), 3′, or 6′ extensions. They also come with an installed nozzle guard to protect the nozzle fins from damage should the gun ever be dropped by operators.

In the video below, I talk in greater detail about this new gun and the applications for which it can be used:

From Fun to a Career

Published on by Lee EvansLeave a comment

My first experience with compressed air aside from filling a tire was to use it as an energy source to feed a turbine engine.  I spent a number of years repairing German autos and one of the dominant traits in the German automotive market is the use of a turbo charger.  From time to time the turbos would fail, sometimes from inadequate oil or coolant supply, and sometimes spare turbos would be around as a result of an engine swap or modification.  Either way, I’d save them for a rainy day.

On one such rainy day I took the turbos to another shop that specialized in custom racing applications.  We fitted them to a crude rolling chassis and fed them compressed air as an energy source.  The air was piped to and blown on the turbine shaft which entrained ambient air and created enough force to sustain the vehicles motion.  Four large tanks of compressed air and huge push were enough to move the “Frankenstein” around the lot, once, before lack of lubrication and cooling took their toll.  There was no sustained reaction to provide a great deal of thrust, but there was a great deal of fun to be had and yet another application using compressed air.  Check out the video below to see how the pros do it.

Considering this is what I do for fun, it’s no wonder I’m an application engineer for compressed air products.  And when it comes to compressed air products, it doesn’t get better than EXAIR.  With dedicated team members and devotion to our work, we can provide solutions for just about any application.
