What You Don't Know Can Kill You!


Did you know that it's dangerous to block a typical commercial nozzle with your hand or other body part? According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), any air hose, open pipe, or tube with an outlet pressure greater than 30 PSIG could potentially injure or even kill someone who blocks the opening with a body part (OSHA CFR 1910.242(b)). The dead-ended pressure buildup could force air bubbles into a worker's bloodstream and block critical blood flow. EXAIR's engineered Air Nozzles are designed to prevent dead-ending at any pressure. >> Tell Me More

Are You Blowing Away Money With Your Current Blowoff Operation?

Many commercial nozzles ignore efficiency in order to try and create additional blowoff force. While this may be useful in the short term, it can ending up costing you a lot of money over the life of that nozzle! For example, a typical 1/8" open pipe blowoff at 80 PSIG will use 70 SCFM of air. EXAIR's equivalent 1/8 NPT Model 1102 Mini Super Air Nozzle will use 10 SCFM at 80 PSIG. In other words, after using EXAIR's engineered nozzle over one year of a 40 hour/week operation, you could save about Rs 1,26,000.00 in compressed air production and that's just by replacing one nozzle! >> Tell Me More

In addition, the reduced air use of an EXAIR engineered nozzle also means that less noise is produced. When a blowoff operation is upgraded with an EXAIR Air Nozzle, noise is reduced by 10 dBA on average! >> Tell Me More

CE Compliant Control Minimizes Compressed Air Use


EXAIR’s digital ETC (Electronic Temperature Control) Cabinet Cooler System keeps electrical enclosures cool while minimizing compressed air use. Independent laboratory tests now certify that the ETC™ is CE compliant to assure safe operation in a wide range of cooling applications, allowing it to work perfectly with our CE compliant Cabinet Cooler units.


The ETC accurately maintains a constant temperature in the electrical enclosure that is slightly under the maximum rating of the electronics. It permits just enough cooling for the electronics without going so cold as to waste compressed air. A digital LED readout displays the temperature of the electrical enclosure (°F or °C), then displays the user temperature setting when pressing the “push to set” button. When that setting is exceeded, the Cabinet Cooler System is activated which circulates 20°F air throughout the electrical enclosure to prevent a high temperature malfunction.


The ETC is suitable for NEMA 4, 4X and 12 environments with a strong polycarbonate plastic housing and sealed membrane push button control. All systems include an automatic drain filter separator to keep moisture in the compressed air out of the electrical enclosure. Models for 120 VAC or 240 VAC are available with cooling capacities up to 2800 Btu/hr. Applications include cooling programmable controllers, CNC panels, computer cabinets, and variable speed drives.

Cold Gun Increases Tool Life


Cold Gun Increases Tool Life

A Company manufactures intricate machined parts for the automotive, motorcycle and aerospace industries. One of their machinists had a frequent problem rough-milling pocket in type 410 stainless steel when using a two flute 3/8" carbide cutter on their Okuma vertical machining center. Coolant produced thermal shock, resulting in micro cracking of the carbide inserts. Without coolant, thermal cracking of the inserts was almost immediate. They were constantly changing inserts.

The company installed a Model 5215 Cold Gun System. The 20°F cold air kept the inserts cool and allowed all the heat to be carried away on the chips. Tool life increased by 50%.





The Cold Gun incorporates a vortex tube to convert an ordinary supply of compressed air into two low pressure streams, one hot and one cold. The hot airstream is muffled and discharged through the hot air exhaust.  The cold air is muffled and discharged through the flexible hose, which directs it to the point of use.  The magnetic base provides easy mounting and portability. COLD GUN


Heat buildup can ruin expensive tooling as well as the part being machined. In this situation, it would have been easy to constantly ruin a Rs.9000 cutter. When asked how others solve this problem, the machinists replied, "We've seen companies go so far as to defeat the safety interlocks so the machine runs with the doors open - just to blow a little compressed air at the part to cool it. For us, the Cold Gun keeps the tooling cool and allows us to immediately handle the part since the heat blows away with the chips.
