Compressed Air Nozzles

One 1/4" open air line, operating at 80 PSI on an eight-hour schedule, will cost $1500/year. The adjustable Air Saver Compressed Air Nozzles would use 70 percent less air - only $450/year - and provide 375 SCFM of air, compared to 36 SCFM from the open air line.

Advantages

+ Low initial and operating costs

+ Generates highest thrust with lowest possible air consumption

+ Adjustability makes them easy to adapt to existing applications and cut air use

+ Greatly reduces demand on the compressor

+ Meet OSHA noise and dead-end pressure requirements

+ No RF/EMI interference

+ Easy to control flow/force

Uses

+ Ejecting parts from molding machines and stamping presses

+ Blow off chips, trim scrap, swarf

+ Part cleaning before painting

+ Plant air conservation and noise reduction

+ Cooling molded or cast parts

+ Cleaning/cooling of metal strip and plastic/paper webs

+ Cleaning/cooling of conveyorized or transfer line parts

Cuts compressed air use an average of 70%, increases output 25 times

Compressed Air Nozzles harness the power of compressed air to do BIG blow-off, cooling and parts ejection jobs, without spewing raw compressed air and noise all over your plant. It's ideal for anything from a hand-held blow-off gun to multi-unit nozzle manifolds for conveyorized product or transfer lines. Even small air usage applications can show major cost reductions.


Compressed Air Nozzles gives you cost and performance advantages with air amplification. It amplifies your compressed air flow 25 times, delivering high thrust with just a fraction of the compressed air wasted by open air lines.


A system-wide changeover to Compressed Air Nozzles can be like adding compressor capacity. They'll:

  • cut your energy bill
  • increase air flow with reduced noise level
  • reduce demand on your compressor
  • give you a return on investment in days.


How do Compressed Air Nozzles work?

Compressed Air Nozzles release a tiny amount of compressed air at near-sonic velocity through a fine, ring-shaped nozzle. As the high-speed "tube" of air emerges from the nozzle, it creates a strong vacuum along its sides, pulling a much larger volume of surrounding air into the stream. At 12" in front of the nozzle, the airstream is 3-1/2" diameter and capable of producing force levels of 3.4 to 20.1 ozs. (96 - 570 kg) depending on the setting.


 Stainless steel or aluminum construction

Low-cost aluminum Compressed Air Nozzles are ideal for most industrial applications. Stainless steel units are ideal for:
  • food processing applications
  • hot corrosive environments
  • maximum durability in harsh environments
