The 2″ Flat Super Air Nozzle is a very powerful yet quiet engineered nozzle. Operation at 80 PSIG of compressed air pressure yields a strong 1.38 lb. of force, at only 77 dBA of sound level. Compare this with many of the plastic flat nozzles that blow air through a series of holes, with sound…
Earlier this year, EXAIR introduced the TurboBlast® Safety Air Gun. They offer the same performance as a number of our Super Blast Safety Air Guns, with some noteable features: Nozzle Guard protects the Super Air Nozzle from damage that could be caused by incidental contact during use. Gate Valve option for easy flow adjustment by…
A few months ago I got a call from a major producer of high-performance knitted products who operates 128 Spindle motors on circular sock machines (CSM) that require couplings. These couplings use hi-speed, hi-temperature bearings that have been failing regularly, prior to the predicted run life. This was resulting in loss of production while the…
Getting a vacuum from compressed air seems a bit like magic, but it works and it works well. EXAIR’s E-Vac® Vacuum Generators are compressed air powered, single stage vacuum generators. They are a low cost way to create vacuum for pick and place, clamping, lifting, chucking, vacuum forming and other applications. The Low Vacuum Generators…
Good engineering practice, and proper system design, call for filters at various points in a compressed air system. I’m going to go through these along the path that compressed air follows, from being drawn from atmospheric pressure in to the compressor, to being returned to atmospheric pressure at its point of use. Any air compressor…
Rudolf Hilsch helped to advance vortex tube technology into what it is today. If you look into the history or even the definition of a vortex tube, you’re likely to find mention of a physicist named Rudolf Hilsch. Born December 18th, 1903, Hilsch was a German physicist, professor, and manager of the Physics Institute of…
February 16, 2018 Categories Ask Les Tags Vortex Tubes Vortex Tubes are used for spot cooling. They utilize compressed air. When using vortex tubes you need to be aware of the effect of the dew point of the compressed air. Nex Flow Air Products manufacturers air blow off, air moving and spot cooling products and…
January 17, 2020 Categories White Paper Tags This article not only touches on how to calculate the cost of compressed air based on electricity cost alone but also the actual cost once heat recovery is integrated. If you would like to calculate compressed air cost based on electricity alone please refer to the below compressed…
June 8, 2018 Categories Other Tags Hot And Cold End Muffler Vortex Tubes This question comes up occasionally and surprisingly the answer is yes, but not like how you may think. One explanation put forward is that this happens because normally a liquid used has a vapor pressure. You reduce the hydrostatic pressure below this…
November 18, 2017 Categories Things to Consider Tags Various methods exist to cool industrial cameras. Vortex Tubes offer an ideal method if compressed air is available.
