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

Model 40009, 48009 Dimensions

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

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?

Stainless steel or aluminum construction

• food processing applications
• hot corrosive environments
• maximum durability in harsh environments
