The Time When The Only Thing Better Than An EXAIR Product…

…was another EXAIR product. And actually, it happened twice, just today:

• An insulation manufacturer was using an open pipe blow off to push air into a five foot wide “blanket” of their product to uniformly flatten it, and blow stray fibers out and into a vacuum system for recycling. They tried a Super Air Knife, which blew the stray fibers out just fine, but didn’t produce the flatness they desired, even with additional shims installed. They then experimented with a manifold system, using a series of Model 1104 High Force 3/8 NPT Super Air Nozzles, which provided the force required to blow the loose fibers out, and to produce the uniform material thickness. With a sound level of only 82dBA (which you won’t find ANYWHERE ELSE from a device that delivers 1.9 lbs of force,) they’ve also made the area much quieter.

Definitely try a Super Air Knife first, but if the job calls for high force, Super Air Nozzles can be easily fitted into a pipe manifold like this.

• A major producer of adhesive labels and specialty packaging had been using our Line Vacs extensively for scrap trim removal. They tried them on a new application where the trim was very lightweight. I’ve written before about When You Can Use An Air Amplifier, or A Line Vac, or…Either? – and this was again the case. They tried a couple of Adjustable Air Amplifiers: a Model 6044 4″ unit for the larger pieces, and a series of Model 6043 3″ units to gather in the rest, as the product traversed the production line.

Normally, we like to reserve our bragging on EXAIR products to how much better they’ll perform than the competition’s.  Which we do regularly, and we’ve got the data & experience to back it up.  But, with such a diverse product line, there are going to be situations – like these – where more than one product might fit the bill.  If this is the case, give us a call; we’re here to help you get the most out of your compressed air usage – whichever EXAIR product that may be!
