EXAIR's Adjustable Air Nozzles are suitable for a wide variety of blowoff applications. The design allows you to tune in the force and flow to the application requirements, thereby minimizing air consumption. A micrometer-like dial indicates the gap setting. A set screw in the end can be tightened so the air nozzle holds the setting. The Adjustable Air Nozzle with Stay Set Hose includes EXAIR's Flexible Stay Set Hose for applications where frequent repositioning is required. The Stay Set Hose has memory and will not creep or bend.

Applications:
- Part cleaning
- Chip removal
- Liquid blowoff
- Part cooling
- Material conveying
- Part ejection
- Fiber conveying
- Air assist
Advantages:
- Adjustable force and flow
- Reduced compressed air cost
- 10 dBA average noise reduction
- High velocity airstream
- Installs with a socket wrench
- Meets OSHA noise level requirements
- Meets OSHA pressure requirements
- Models available in aluminum and stainless steel
Materials:
- Aluminum - general purpose applications. Maximum temperature 150°F (66°C).
- Type 303 Stainless Steel - high temperatures, corrosive environments. Maximum temperature 800°F (426°C).
Accessories:
Swivel Fittings - make it easy to adjust the aim of the Air Nozzles and Jets. Correct placement of the blowing angle can help optimize performance, reduce noise levels and improve efficiency. Swivel Fittings permit a movement of 25 degrees from the center axis for a total movement of 50 degrees. Type 303 or 316 Stainless Steel
Magnetic Bases - are suited to applications where frequent movement of the Air Nozzle or Jet is required. The powerful magnet permits horizontal or vertical mounting that will hold the blowing position of the Stay Set Hose. A shutoff valve is provided that can be used to vary the force and flow.

How EXAIR Air Nozzles Work
EXAIR Air Nozzles use the Coanda effect to amplify compressed airflow up to 25 times or more. Compressed air is ejected through a series of nozzles on the outer perimeter. As the air travels along the outer wall of the nozzle, surrounding air (blue arrows) is entrained into the stream. The airstream that results is a high volume, high velocity blast of air at minimal consumption. The air is always ejected so it can vent safely, well below OSHA dead end pressure requirements, should the nozzle end be blocked.

Adjustable Air Nozzle Standards and Certifications
EXAIR Micro Air Nozzles comply with OSHA's Safety Requirements, the EU General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) and meet the noise limitation requirements of the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). All sound level measurements are taken at 3 feet away.
