Flat Air Nozzle Design Saves Space

Feb. 21, 2013
Nozzle design makes it suitable for tight spaces.

Exair’s new 1-inch Flat Super Air Nozzle produces a flat 1-inch wide airstream with a blowing force of 9.8 ounces when mounted 12 inches from the target. The design of this nozzle makes it suitable fit for both tight spaces.

The nozzle uses Exair’s patented technology to maximize entrained airflow while reducing noise levels. A precise amount of air is released through the .015-inch air gap opening that is set with a stainless-steel shim positioned between the body and removable cap. The airstream pulls in surrounding room air to produce a wide, forceful stream of high-velocity, laminar airflow.

Air consumption is 10.5 SCFM at 80 PSIG. The 75 dBA sound level is below the limits of the OSHA maximum allowable noise exposure standard 29 CFR 1910.95(a). Force and flow may be adjusted by installing different shim thicknesses. Optional swivel fittings and Stay Set flexible hoses to aim the nozzle are also available.

The nozzle is available in zinc aluminum alloy construction, suitable for rugged industrial applications. Applications include ejecting heavy parts and slugs, chip removal, part cleaning, drying, liquid blowoff and cooling. The unit price is $39.
