The Air Research Technology Company
The AiRTXTM Air Saver Nozzles harness the power of compressed air to do BIG blow-off, cooling and parts ejection jobs, without spewing raw compressed air and noise all over your plant. It's ideal for anything from a hand-held blow-off gun to multi-unit nozzle manifolds for conveyorized product or transfer lines. Even small air usage applications can show major cost reductions.
The Air Saver Nozzle 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.
One 1/4" open air line, operating at 80 PSI on an eight-hour schedule, will cost $1500/year. The adjustable Air Saver Nozzle would use 70 percent less air - only $450/year - and provide 375 SCFM of air, compared to 36 SCFM from the open air line.
A system-wide changeover to Air Saver Nozzles can be like adding compressor capacity. Air Saver Nozzles will:

The Air Saver releases a tiny amount of compressed air at near-sonic velocity through a fine, ring-shaped nozzle. As the high-speed "tube" of air emerges from the nozzle, it creates a strong vacuum along its sides, pulling a much larger volume of surrounding air into the stream. At 12" in front of the nozzle, the airstream is 3-1/2" diameter and capable of producing force levels of 3.4 to 20.1 ozs. (0.096 - 0.570 kg) depending on the setting.
Low-cost aluminum Air Savers are ideal for most industrial applications. Stainless steel units are ideal for:
Plastics - Molding
The Stainless Steel 1/8 in. NPTM Adjustable Air Saver Nozzle Model 48009 uses a minimal amount of compressed air to produce high volume and calling for quick parts release. Small size and instant on/off make it ideal for molding machines. |
Woodworking - Drilling Chip Removal
The 25:1 air amplification of the Stainless Steel 1/8 in. NPTM Adjustable Air Saver Nozzle Model 48009 provides plenty of cleaning power for a factory air gun, while still meeting OSHA requirements for dead-end pressure and noise limits. |
