In industrial applications, air guns—also known as blow guns, air wands, air lances, or air blow guns—are used to direct compressed air for cleaning, drying, or blowing debris from surfaces without physical contact.
An air blow gun typically consists of:
Gun body
Manually controlled shut-off valve
Nozzle
How it works:
When the trigger is pulled, the shut-off valve opens, allowing compressed air to flow through the gun.
The nozzle then directs a controlled jet of air to the desired area.
Common applications include laboratories, workshops, and manufacturing facilities.
Housing:
Available in metal or plastic
Plastic housing: Lightweight and prevents cold-hand sensation during use
Grip:
Pistol grip and ergonomic handle designed for user comfort and control
Nozzle:
Typically made from aluminum or zinc-plated steel
Internal Components:
Constructed from brass and stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance
Sealing:
Uses NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) for reliable air-tight sealing and wear resistance
Optional protective shields made of plastic are available to protect users from rebounding particles during operation
Fluid: Compressed air
Operating Pressure Range: 0.05 to 1.0 MPa
Proof Pressure: 1.5 MPa
Ambient and Fluid Temperature: −5 to 60°C (No freezing)
Tube cutters offer several key advantages over conventional cutting tools such as scissors:
Cleaner Cuts:
Tube cutters provide precise and clean cuts, reducing the need for additional deburring.
Time Efficiency:
The cleaner cut minimizes preparation time, making the installation or repair process faster and more efficient.
Ease of Use:
These tools are simple to operate, even for users with minimal training.
Cost-Effective:
Tube cutters are affordable and widely accessible, making them a practical addition to any technician’s or plumber’s toolkit.
Begin by checking the maximum air pressure the blow gun can handle.
Ensure it matches the output pressure of your air compressor system to maintain safety and efficiency.
Verify the connection type and size of the blow gun inlet.
It must be compatible with your air compressor hose or fitting to ensure a proper and secure connection.
Choose a nozzle type that suits your specific application—such as spot cleaning, wide coverage, or precision blowing.
Ensure the output port size and shape deliver the desired airflow pattern.
The airflow can be either:
Constant: For continuous blowing
Adjustable: For variable control depending on how much the trigger is engaged
Select the trigger style based on the level of control required for your task
It’s a great dust cleaning tool. However, if not maintained properly, there is a high risk of damage to the component itself. So how to maintain the pneumatic dust blower?
1. Before operation, it must be installed and used according to the operating instructions.
2. The dust blowing gun needs to be used by connecting the compressor.
3. Keep the dust blowing gun clean, free of oil and dust.
4. Regularly clean the dust blowing gun to prevent a large amount of other objects from accumulating on the parts of the blowing gun.
5. It cannot be used in an environment containing flammable gas and a large amount of dust.
6. Non-professionals cannot repair it without authorization.
