Air Nozzles are designed to focus compressed air into a coherent directed jet. These nozzles produce a high impact jet for precision air direction. They come in a variety of different sizes and materials.
In addition to the standard air nozzles, we also offer the patent-pending Air Mag, advanced air nozzle. The presence of the exterior fins on this design of nozzle greatly enhances the entrainment of the surrounding air. This means more air is moved for any given feed air pressure resulting in a more powerful and efficient air jet.
There are many different applications for air nozzles. They should be used whenever a directed stream of air is required rather than a broad or wide air current.

Models
EXAIR’s Safety Air Nozzles eject a small amount of compressed air 360° around the outer ring that combines with the air ejected from the center hole to produce a high volume, high velocity blast of air. The slotted end allows air to vent safely and prevents blocking the outlet. EXAIR offers the Safety Air Nozzle in most popular pipe sizes for easy retrofit to existing blowoffs. Available in brass and Type 303 Stainless Steel.
EXAIR’s award winning Super Air Nozzles deliver high performance suitable for a wide range of blowoff, drying and cooling applications. The aerodynamic design of this engineered Super Air Nozzle™ directs the air to a single point of convergence and can cut the noise level in half. All Super Air Nozzles eject the compressed air through holes located in recessed grooves that can not be blocked or dead ended. Available in Zinc/aluminum alloy, Type 316 stainless steel or PEEK thermoplastic.
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. Available in aluminum or 303 stainless steel.
EXAIR’s Micro Air Nozzle™ optimizes entrainment for a directed, high volume, high velocity airflow. The compact size permits mounting where space is limited while still producing solid force values. Sound level and air consumption are low. Available in Type 303 stainless steel.
EXAIR’s Large Super Air Nozzles are available from 3/8 NPT to 1-1/4 NPT in zinc/aluminum alloy. Type 316 stainless steel versions are also available through 1 NPT and PEEK plastic nozzles are available in 3/8 NPT. The Large Super Air Nozzle™ line produces from 1.9 lbs (850 grams) up to 23 lbs (10.43 kg) of strong blowing force, exceeding the blowoff force of standard Super Air Nozzles. Large Super Air Nozzles are designed with protective aerodynamic slots which guide the airflow to a single point of convergence for hard-hitting force and dramatic noise reduction over typical blowoffs.
EXAIR’s Atto Super Air Nozzle™ delivers the smallest, most precise blowoff. The 58 dBA noise level is a fraction of ordinary air nozzles. Thread size is M4x0.5 and it is available in 316 stainless steel or PEEK thermoplastic.
The 1/8 NPT Mini Super Air Nozzle™ provides a forceful, concentrated stream of high velocity airflow. It has fewer holes than the larger Super Air Nozzles, resulting in lower sound levels, air consumption and force. It is available in Zinc/aluminum alloy, 316 stainless steel or PEEK thermoplastic.
EXAIR’s Nano Super Air Nozzle™ delivers a highly focused, forceful blast of airflow. The air pattern for this small nozzle measures 1.5″ in diameter at 6″ away from the surface. The noise level is a low 75 dBA. Overall length measures only 0.78″. Thread size is M6x0.75 and it is available in 316 stainless steel or PEEK thermoplastic.
EXAIR’s Back Blow Air Nozzles are engineered to clean inside of pipe, tube, hose or channels. An array of holes provide a forceful 360 degree air flow to clear out coolant, chips or debris created from machining processes. This nozzle prevents blowing chips further into a pipe or out the end, which could create a safety hazard. Since air flow is directed back toward the operator personal protective equipment is recommended. They deliver high performance suitable for a wide range of diameters from 1/4″ (6.3mm) up to 16″ (406mm)!
EXAIR’s Super Air Nozzle clusters are an array of Model 1100, 1/4 NPT Super Air Nozzles on a round manifold which provide force values that are similar to our largest nozzles but at lower decibel levels. These nozzles can be used in areas where low noise levels are the first consideration. All aluminum construction from 3/8 FNPT through 1 FNPT. Force values from 3.2 lbs (1.45 kg) through 9.8 lbs (4.45 kg).
