Safety Air Guns

Safety Air Guns use Engineered Air Nozzles for High Performance

Inexpensive air guns are sold through many catalogs and industrial supply companies. Most have triggers or other parts that break quickly. Their performance is similar to open pipe,where they simply blow a lot of compressed air. In addition to the high air consumption, many produce noise levels that violate OSHA requirements. Some even generated dangerous dead end pressures that can result in serious or fatal injuries if blocked. EXAIR's Safety Air Guns eliminate these problems.

They are durable and comfortable to use. Each model uses an enginered Air Nozzle that provides superior performance by entraining large volumes of surrounding air. Safe operation is assured along with low air consumption and noise levels. Airflow that exists the nozzle can not be blocked as required by OSHA stnadard 1910.242(b)

Cold Gun Aircoolant Systems

Cool machining operations with Clean, Cold Air

EXAIR's Cold Gun is non-adjustable to prevent freeze-up during use. Cold airflow and temperature drop are factory set to optimize the gun's cooling capability.

Static Eliminators

Eliminate Static Electricity, Dust and Shock Hazard

Materials such as paper, plastic or textiles normally contain an equal number of positive and negative charges that is, they are electrically balanced. Friction can disturb this balance, causing the material to become electrically charged. The electric charge(Static) will exert a force on nearby charged objects or a grounded conductor. Among the problems caused by this force are Dust clinging to product, Product clinging to itself, rollers, machine beds or frames, Materials tearing, jamming or curling, Sheet feeding problems, Hazardous sparks or shocks.

EXAIR'S static eliminators (called ionizers) can eliminate the charge. These shockless ionizers are electrically powered and produce a bulk of positive and negative ions. The charged surface attracts the appropriate number or positive or negative ions from the ionizer to become neutral( discharge)
