Welcome to our site where you can learn about the EARS advantage -- energy savings, environmental improvement, efficiency gains, and extreme noise abatement.

The new and innovative air tool technology that improves productivity, saves energy, and improves workplace health and safety is called the Exhausted Air Recycling System or EARS. The tool system provides a closed loop between the air compressor and the air tool by capturing the exhausted air from the air tool and returning it to the compressor. This closed-loop system generates more power with less energy, making this system the first real innovation in pneumatic tool technology in many years. This tool system was first released in Australia, and is rapidly expanding across Europe with remarkable results. The EARS system is fully patented across the globe.

Whether using an EARS air tool, an EARS compressor, or a retrofit kit for existing tools and equipment, the benefit is immediate with the new system. Tests have shown that energy consumption is reduced by nearly 50% and noise levels are dramatically reduced from 40% to 80%. Tools and equipment will last longer as the closed loop system keeps moisture, dust, oil and other pollutants out of the compressor and air tools. And, the work environment is noticeably improved because moisture and dust particles are not blown around the shop as by normally exhausted air tool.
