Exira's heavy-duty safety air gun safely removes chips, dust and other contaminants from products, machinery and work surfaces. The ergonomic composite rubber grip and wide-curved trigger make it comfortable for long use, according to the company. It uses a large compressed air inlet to increase the airflow available to the "super air nozzle," resulting in higher force and flow than ordinary air guns. The air exhausts from super air nozzles that have been engineered to deliver the highest force at the lowest air consumption. A variety of heavy-duty safety air gun models use different engineered super air nozzles, giving the user a choice of flow, air pattern and force that ranges from 13 oz. to 3.3 lbs. The sound level is quiet, and the airflow cannot be blocked, which complies with OSHA standards.
Applications include parts cleaning, chip removal, part drying, part ejection and liquid blow-off. Aluminum extension pipes to provide "reach" for areas not easily accessible are available in lengths as much as 72".
