Based in Cincinnati, ITW Air Management brings together Vortec compressed-air technologies and Paxton centrifugal blowers for industrial cooling, blowoff, drying, and conveying applications. Its product lines focus on improving equipment efficiency and productivity, with Paxton also offering a performance guarantee on its air-delivery equipment.
Paxton ProductsWith roots in the 1937 development of a belt-driven supercharger, Cincinnati-based Paxton Products now designs and manufactures centrifugal blowers and custom air systems for industrial drying, blow-off and air-rinsing applications. Its PX-Series technology extends that performance heritage to production lines, where blower-driven systems can replace compressed air and, in ionizing rinsing applications, water. Paxton Products is an ITW company and supports installed systems with application engineering, service and a three-year blower warranty.CINCINNATI, OH
VortecSince 1961, Cincinnati-based Vortec has developed compressed-air equipment for industrial cooling, blowoff, cleaning and conveying. The company pioneered the practical industrial use of vortex-tube technology and now operates within Illinois Tool Works’ ITW Air Management business, pairing its products with application engineering for specialized manufacturing problems. Vortec’s core compressed-air products carry a 10-year warranty.CINCINNATI, OH
EXAIR LLCFounded in 1983 by Roy Sweeney, Cincinnati-based EXAIR manufactures compressed-air products that help manufacturers clean, cool, convey and control static in production environments. Its in-house application engineers work directly with customers on product selection and application problems, while the company manufactures in the USA and commonly ships stocked orders the same day.CINCINNATI, OH
AiRTXFor more than 15 years, AiRTX has engineered compressed-air solutions that amplify airflow, cool industrial equipment, control static and move debris without electricity or moving parts. Its U.S.-manufactured cabinet coolers and vortex-based cooling products are precision-machined, assembled and tested under strict quality control, while application engineers help customers size systems for demanding factory conditions. The company’s approach is notably practical: use less compressed air to handle blow-off, cooling and conveying jobs while meeting OSHA standards.CINCINNATI, OH
