Company Overview and History
Airmo Inc., based in Coon Rapids, MN, has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing patented pressure technologies since 1946. Founded by George A. Smida, the company originated from 'air over motor' system designs, initially focusing on hydraulic equipment for expanding plastic tubes. With over 75 years of experience, Airmo Inc. is committed to being a preferred manufacturer by delivering exceptional value and service. Their core values emphasize experience, reliability, customer trust, and comprehensive after-sales support, including product warranties, replacement parts, and factory repair services.
Core Product Lines and Technologies
Airmo Inc. specializes in high-pressure technology equipment, offering tools, systems, and accessories for working pressures up to 60,000 psi. Their mobile solutions are designed for hydrostatic and leak testing, as well as tube end forming and expansion across global markets. The company's offerings are structured under four main brands:
- TestMaster®: Provides solutions for hydrostatic and leak testing, purging, filling, and flushing of tubes, pipes, hoses, and other assemblies, with tools handling up to 40,000 psi. This includes hydraulic power supplies and burst test chambers.
- SelectForm®: Focuses on hydraulic-driven tube end forming equipment, enabling expansions, reductions, beads, flares, and swaging of various tube materials. Tools accommodate tube diameters from 0.13 in. to 6.00 in. OD, supported by hydraulic power units.
- ExpanTek®: Offers tools and systems for mechanical tube expansion, hydroforming, and retubing applications, suitable for boiler and refrigeration coils, with pressures up to 30,000 psi.
- NuQuip®: Encompasses high-pressure accessories and components, such as piston accumulators, air-driven pumps, hoses, fittings, quick disconnects (up to 60,000 psi), control valves, and automatic air bleed valves, crucial for optimizing system performance.
Industries Served and Key Advantages
Airmo Inc.'s high-pressure technologies serve a diverse global clientele across sectors like tube and pipe manufacturing, HVAC, aerospace, military and defense, energy (oil and gas, power plants), automotive, and subsea industries. Their equipment is engineered to meet rigorous specifications, including API, ASTM, ASME, ISO, DIN, and BS standards. A key advantage is the ability to provide custom material solutions for systems and tools, reducing risks like metal corrosion in demanding environments.
