Air Techniques.

Air Techniques' about page says Louis E. Brooks, Jack Alpert, and George Kauer founded the company in 1962 and introduced Dento-Dri, a compressed-air dryer aimed at dry, low-humidity air for dental systems. The history timeline says the company was founded in Hicksville, New York, showed at the New York Dental Meeting in 1962, and now lists headquarters in Melville, New York, with telephone 516-433-7676 and toll-free 1-800-247-8324. The about page says the quality system is ISO 13485:2016 MDSAP.

The timeline dates an oil-less A-Series compressor to 1972, the Peri-Pro film processor to 1977, VistaCam to 1994, and ScanX digital radiography to 2002. Later names include AirStar compressors, VacStar and Mojave vacuums, CamX cameras, ProVecta X-ray, and SensorX. A 60-year X-ray page says Air Techniques' parent company is Durr Dental and that ScanX Classic in 2002 was a multi-slot phosphor-plate scanner. That parent line is Air Techniques' own page.

Utility and imaging are both in the catalog. An AirStar compressor does not include a ScanX reader. A Mojave vacuum does not include an amalgam separator unless the quote names SepaStar, which the 2026 timeline lists as a product release. Nitrous flowmeters appear as FlowStar in 2023. Read the model, not the brand, when you are outfitting a mechanical room.

A 2017 Dental Product Shopper note on the company's 55th year quotes then CEO Christoph Roeer at a Melville celebration and lists ScanX, CamX, ProVecta, AirStar, and Monarch among the lines. Monarch on the timeline is a surface cleaner and wipe, not an imaging device. The timeline also lists CleanStream waterline test kits and FlowStar nitrous components in recent years, and SepaStar as an amalgam separator. A waterline test kit is not a compressor. Nitrous scavenging circuits are not vacuum pumps. If the practice is adding nitrous, that is a separate specification from Mojave suction. The about page says the portfolio can equip a small office or a large clinic, which is a range statement, not a model number. Write the model on the purchase order. The history page's toll-free line is 1-800-247-8324, which spells AIR TECH. Orders email on that page is orders@airtechniques.com. Confirm both before a Saturday install. A 2012 news note places a ScanX referral program announcement in Melville, New York, which matches the headquarters line on the history page. Use that city when you book service, and ask whether the unit is an Air Techniques nameplate or a Durr Dental Vista nameplate before you order a plate size.

Air Techniques suits a practice buying compressors, vacuum, or phosphor-plate imaging from the Melville company. Compressors are compared on the air compressor guide.

Vacuums and phosphor plates are on the vacuum guide and the phosphor plate guide. Cameras are on the intraoral camera guide.

Dento-Dri and AirStar solve air quality. ScanX solves how you read a plate. They share a brand and not a manual.

The Durr Dental parent note on the X-ray page explains shared Vista and ScanX naming. Service should follow the nameplate on the device you own.

Use 516-433-7676 or 1-800-247-8324, the numbers on the history page, and orders@airtechniques.com if that mailbox is still the one printed there. The headquarters line says Melville, New York.

ISO 13485:2016 is the certificate claim on the about page. Ask for the current certificate if a surveyor wants the document.
