OverviewEXAIR's 1" Flat Super Air Nozzle™ delivers a wide, high-velocity sheet of laminar airflow through a thin slotted orifice, providing strong targeted blowoff with low air consumption and reduced noise. The patented shim system (U.S. Pat 5402938) keeps internal parts precisely positioned; changing shims adjusts force and flow. The kit includes the Flat Super Air Nozzle and EXAIR's flexible Stay Set Hose for frequent repositioning without creeping.
How it worksCompressed air enters a plenum and is forced through a precision slotted orifice. The primary airstream follows a flat surface to form a uniform air sheet across the nozzle length. Ambient air is entrained at approximately a 40:1 ratio, amplifying flow while maintaining a coherent, laminar jet with minimal shear.
Applications- Part cleaning
- Chip and debris removal
- Liquid blowoff
- Part cooling
- Material conveying
- Part ejection
- Fiber conveying
- Air assist
Advantages- Lower compressed air cost through entrainment
- About 10 dBA average noise reduction versus open blowoffs
- Improved blowoff efficiency
- Compact footprint for tight spaces
- Enhanced safety; meets OSHA noise and pressure requirements
- Supports improved production rates
MaterialsZinc-Aluminum alloy — general-purpose use. Max temp 250°F (121°C).
Type 316 Stainless Steel — for high temperature, corrosive environments and increased wear resistance. Max temp 1000°F (538°C).
Accessories- Shim Sets — .005" (0.13 mm), .010" (0.25 mm) and .020" (0.51 mm) shims; different shims modify force and flow.
- Stay Set Hose — flexible repositionable hose with "memory"; holds position without creeping or bending.
- Swivel Fittings — allow aim adjustment (±25°); available in Type 303 or 316 stainless steel.
- Magnetic Bases — secure the Stay Set Hose for frequent movement; often include a shutoff valve to vary force/flow.
