I was recently contacted by a customer who was using (2) of our 18″ Standard Air Knives to keep a sealing surface clean on their leak test fixture during a welding operation. The customer didn’t have a blow off in place before using our Air Knives and saw considerable improvement but were still seeing some residual…
Proper position on Super Air Knives EXAIR has been selling high-efficiency, hard-hitting compressed air products since 1983 for the purpose of drying and cleaning materials with compressed air. The laminar airflow allows for a consistent force in the same direction, which is beneficial for effective cleaning and drying. If we look closer at the surface…
In-Line E-Vac With the amount of energy in compressed air, EXAIR can manipulate it by design for a variety of applications. One way that we can do this is by creating a vacuum pressure by the Venturi effect. By increasing the velocity of air through a constricted area, a low pressure, or vacuum, is created….
September 2, 2017 Categories Other Tags Compressed Air Flow Amplifiers and Back Pressure Issues. Compressed air flow amplifiers (also called air movers) operate using something called the Coanda effect to convert pressure to flow with minimal energy loss. The result is high flow and less noise when used for blow off or cooling applications. However, often air…
June 17, 2017 Categories Other Tags Compressed air is viewed as a costly method for blow off and cooling applications and some look to electric motor driven blowers as a replacement. This is a reasonable with a focus for energy saving being a major factor. However, the cost of changing to a blower system is…
September 28, 2021 Categories Other Tags Is the supply chain broken? Today we see a lot of stories about the supply chain being broken. And there may even be a truth to that. But the issue is not new. In the last ten years, whenever a work slowdown occurs or a strike since inventories are…
January 14, 2019 Categories White Paper Tags Air Jets Air Knives Compressed air can be costly – so it is important to keep waste at a minimum while taking advantage of the benefits compressed air offers. A good practice is to measure and monitor your compressed air system, flow rates, operating air pressure and energy…
June 8, 2017 Categories Other Tags Both low pressure blowers and high pressure compressed air is used for blow-off and cooling applications. Much has been made of the higher energy cost in using compressed air over the last 15 to 20 years which all started when the cost of compressed air “leaks” came to light,…

It is defined as the reduction in air pressure from the compressor discharge to the point of use. And is caused by…
September 24, 2018 Categories White Paper Tags Air Edger™ Flat Jet Nozzles Air Knives An air knife is used to blow off a curved or flat surface of unwanted liquid (such as water), grime, airborne debris, dirt, or dust from surfaces or objects using a high-intensity, uniform sheet of amplified airflow. While a flat jet…
