A precision air nozzle, the smallest in the world according to its manufacturer, can make the cooling of foods more efficient.

Exair's new Micro Air Nozzle is the smallest available, providing precision blowoff with a directed high volume, high velocity airflow, the company stated.

The air nozzle projects less than one inch past the mounting surface, allowing installation in limited spaces such as ovens.

 

The stainless steel construction is suited for blowoff, cooling and drying processes located in general industrial, high temperature and food plants.

 

The Micro Air nozzle outputs a narrowly focused air pattern that measures 1.25in (3.2cm) in diameter when positioned 6in (15.2cm) away from the target surface.

 

The system allows the high amplification of the airflow and a blowing force of 12 ounces (340g). The Micro Air Nozzle meets the US occupational health requirements for dead-end pressure and noise.

 

The Micro Air Nozzle has a common male compressed air inlet that makes it easy to replace existing nozzles or open pipes used in the food industry. The 11mm body can be installed using standardwrenches or sockets.
