pressure requirements

Air Nozzles and Jets

What Are Air Nozzles and Jets?
A simple solution to reduce excessive air consumption and noise
levels on compressed air blowoff operations
EXAIR Air Nozzles and Jets produce outlet flows up to
25 times compressed air consumption using a small amount of
compressed air as the power source

Air Nozzles and Jets

Why Air Nozzles and Jets?
Air savings, compared to open copper tubes or pipes commonly used
for blowoff, can be as high as 80%
Less compressed air means less noise. The typical noise level
reduction is 10 dBA
All Air Nozzles and Jets meet Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) maximum dead ended pressure requirements

Air Nozzles and Jets

Why Air Nozzles and Jets?
An open 1/4" (6mm) copper tube, by contrast, ejects pure
compressed air at up to 40 standard cubic feet per minute (1133
SLPM), the entire output of a 10 horsepower compressor
Annual energy cost can exceed $1,000 per year
Noise levels in excess of 100 dBA are commonly produced. When
supply pressure exceeds 30 PSIG (2 BAR), an open pipe, tube or
drilled holes violate OSHA static pressure requirements

Air Nozzles and Jets - Applications

Flexible Stay Set Hoses are

ideal where frequent
repositioning of air nozzles is
required

Air Nozzles and Jets

Super Air Nozzles
Provide a high thrust, concentrated stream of high velocity airflow
The sound level is extremely low and air consumption is minimal
The compressed air is ejected through holes located in recessed
grooves that can not be blocked or dead ended
The Model 1100 and 1101 are constructed of a zinc aluminum alloy
The Model 1100SS and Model 1101SS are constructed of durable
Type 316 stainless steel

Air Nozzles and Jets

How Air Nozzles Work
The compressed air is ejected
through a series of nozzles on the
outer perimeter.
Air Nozzles use the coanda effect
or small directed nozzles to amplify
compressed airflow 25 times or
more.
As the air travels along the outer
wall of the nozzle, surrounding air
(blue arrows) is entrained into the
stream.
The air is always ejected so it can
vent safely, well below OSHA dead
ended pressure requirements,
should the nozzle end be blocked.
The airstream that results is a high
volume, high velocity blast of air at
minimal consumption.

Mini Super Air Nozzles
1/8 BSP/NPT Male & Female
available
Provide a high thrust,
concentrated stream of high
velocity airflow
Compressed air is ejected
through holes located in
recessed grooves that can not
be blocked or dead ended
The Mini Super Air Nozzle has
fewer holes than the Super Air
Nozzle, resulting in lower
sound levels, air consumption
and force

Air Nozzles and Jets

Large Super Air Nozzles
Have the blowing capability of
multiple nozzles in one single
air nozzle
Aerodynamic design directs the
air to a single point of
convergence
Delivers hard-hitting force (up
to 9.5 pounds, 4.3 kgs.) Up to
1-1/4 pipe size
Compressed air is ejected
through holes located in
recessed grooves that can not
be blocked or dead ended
Sound level remains low to
meet OSHA requirements
Zinc aluminum alloy or
stainless steel

Air Nozzles and Jets

Super Air Nozzle Clusters
Superior force, more power
more reach
Extremely high blowing force
with extensive reach
Ideal for part ejection, blowoff,
cooling and drying applications
All meet OSHA noise level and
pressure requirements

2 Super Air Nozzle
2004 Product Of The Year
2 Flat air nozzle is engineered for
high efficiency using the patented
shim design
Wide, forceful stream of high
velocity, laminar airflow with
minimal air consumption and noise
Force and flow may be easily
increased or decreased by
installing a different shim
thickness
Replaces other flat air nozzles with
holes that consume enormous
amounts of compressed air, are
loud and can be dangerous
Zinc/aluminum or stainless steel

Air Nozzles and Jets

Micro Air Nozzle
High volume, high velocity
airflow creates large force on
target
Ideal for precision blowing
Sound level and air
consumption are low
Compact size permits mounting
where space is limited
Type 303 Stainless Steel
construction

Nano Super Air Nozzle
Smallest air nozzle produced
by EXAIR
M6 x 0.75 connection thread
Small size for precise blowing
applications

Air Nozzles and Jets

Air Jets
Air Jets utilize a ring jet of
compressed air to produce
larger volume flows using
surrounding, ambient air
A vacuum is produced, pulling
large volumes of surrounding,
or free air, through the jet
Both the outlet and inlet can be
ducted for remote positioning
If the end is blocked, flow
simply reverses at well below
OSHA dead ended pressure
requirements
