Mufflers
To help further reduce work area noise created by air exhausting from cylinders, valves, and other air powered equipment, EXAIR offers a wide variety of mufflers.
- Reclassifying Mufflers offer the best noise reduction and help remove oil from exhaust air
- Sintered Bronze Mufflers are a lower cost alternative to Reclassifying Mufflers. Less noise reduction and no oil removal filtration
- Straight-Through Mufflers are aluminum shells that are filled with sound absorbing foam
- Heavy Duty Mufflers also have an aluminum shell but include internal stainless screens to protect valves and cylinders
Sintered Bronze Mufflers
EXAIR's low cost Sintered Bronze Mufflers are easy to install in new and existing exhaust ports of valves, cylinders and other air powered equipment. Each Sintered Bronze Muffler is capable of passing a certain volume of air with minimal back pressure restriction so it doesn’t interfere with the operation of the cylinder or valve.
Reclassifying Mufflers
Reclassifying Mufflers are an upgrade from Sintered Bronze Mufflers. They offer the best noise reduction - up to 35 dB. Available from 1/8 NPT through 1 NPT. Reclassifying Mufflers also eliminate oil mist. Exhaust air from cylinders and valves often contain oil mists that can contaminate the workers' breathing air, affecting their health. Per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1000, a worker’s cumulative exposure to oil mist must not exceed 5mg/m3 by volume in any eight hour shift of a 40 hour work week.
Straight-Through Mufflers
Straight-Through Silencing Mufflers feature a corrosion-resistant aluminum outer shell lined with sound-absorbing foam for better noise reduction. The typical noise reduction is up to 20 dB.
Heavy Duty Mufflers
Heavy Duty Silencing Mufflers feature a corrosion-resistant aluminum outer shell with an internal stainless steel screen that protects valves and cylinders from contamination that could enter through the exhaust ports. !is also keeps contaminants such as rust from being ejected at high speed from the exhaust port. The typical noise reduction is up to 14 dB.
