Nex Flow™ Air Jets are designed to reduce compressed air consumption and noise levels while maintaining laminar flow for strong blow off force. They entrain large volumes of surrounding air through the Jet (similar to Air Amplifiers) and are more efficient flow amplifiers than Air Nozzles. They cover a larger blow off target than a Nozzle and are ideal for part ejection. An air nozzle provides a point force, while the Air Jet acts more like a “hand” and covers a larger area in blow off coverage. This can be an advantage in part ejection where two nozzles are normally required to “direct” the ejected part while only one jet is needed. This can dramatically reduce energy required as well as have a lower footprint on the machine.
All Nex Flow™ Air Jets meet OSHA standard CFR 1910.242(b) for dead end pressure. Noise levels are dramatically reduced in addition to lowering energy use.

Nex Flow™ has three basic designs: The High Force Air Jet is the most popular to provide a concentrated high force and is the most popular style used for part ejection. The High Velocity Air Jet has a wider air exit and used mostly for cooling although it also has a high blow off force, but less than that of the High Force one. The Mini Air Jet was developed for tight spaces where a wider area output is required as compared to the point force of a nozzle. Each design is adjustable.
