Replacing One Outdated Air Nozzle! Compare Here’s how: Here’s how: • One popular flat nozzle consumes 31 SCFM @ 80 PSIG. • EXAIR’s 2" Flat Super Air Nozzle with .015" shim consumes 21.8 SCFM @ 80 PSIG. • 31 SCFM (theirs) – 21.8 SCFM (EXAIR’s) = 9.2 SCFM compressed air saved. Most large plants know their cost per 1,000 standard cubic feet of compressed air. If you don’t know your actual cost per 1,000 SCF, 25¢ is a reasonable average to use. • SCFM saved x 60 minutes x cost/1,000 SCF = dollars saved per hour. • In this case, 9.2 SCFM x 60 x .25/1,000 SCF= 13.8 cents saved per hour. • 13.8 cents per hour x 24 hours = $3.31 saved per day. • $3.31 per day x 365 days = $1,208.88 saved in one year (in this 24/7 operation). And, This Savings Is For One Nozzle! EXAIR’s 2" Flat Super Air Nozzle can pay for itself in less than 27 days. Put the 2" Flat Super Air Nozzle to work in your blowoff, cooling or drying application. We’re sure you’ll agree that it blows away the competition! EXAIR’s 2" Flat Super Air Nozzle Theirs (Old Technology) • 2004 Product Of The Year Winner • Can consume over 30 SCFM • Your choice of zinc/aluminum or Type 316 stainless steel • Expensive – metal or plastic • Flexible Stay Set Hoses™, swivel fittings and magnetic bases are available • No easy adjustment – wasted compressed air • Meets or exceeds OSHA standards • May not be OSHA safe • Quietest flat nozzle available • Significantly louder • Easy to change the force and flow • Plastic is easily broken We’ve all seen flat air nozzles. Some are yellow. Others are orange. The oldest ones are blue or metal. Those other manufacturers want you to believe you’ll save money by conserving compressed air while protecting your workers from harmful noise levels. In reality, those colorful air nozzles that blow the air out of holes consume enormous amounts of air. The plastic ones often break off. Some might even get you an OSHA fine due to the dangerous dead ended pressures that exist if someone blocks the air exhaust. EXAIR’s award winning 2" Flat Super Air Nozzle™ has been engineered to replace those outdated flat nozzles. There are no dangerous holes that can be blocked. EXAIR’s patented, award winning design is efficient, maintaining a precise amount of airflow through a thin slot. The result is a forceful stream of high velocity, laminar airflow with minimal air consumption and noise. You can increase or decrease the force of each flat air nozzle – using shims to tune it to the application so you’ll never waste compressed air. EXAIR also offers a 1" Flat Super Air Nozzle™, with the same laminar airflow, to fit in tighter spaces. Flat nozzles from other manufacturers can consume over 30 SCFM (a refrigerator sized compressor) and aren’t adjustable. Some manufac- turers offer different flow rates but you need to guess at which one will do the job since you can’t adjust them once you’ve made the purchase. By default, most users feel bigger is better and go with the highest flow rate, wasting compressed air. See page 57 for more details.
