What is Air Blow Gun?

Air Blow Gun is a tool attached to air lines for the manual actuation and/or control of air discharge. They are used primarily for debris removal and purging, non-contact part cleaning and drying, and general laboratory or industrial applications. Air low guns include soft grip, heavy duty & heavy force air guns. Soft grip air guns are available with air consumption ranging from 10 scfm to 60 scfm. Heavy duty air guns are available with 3/8 NPT compressed air inlet & air consumption ranging from 14 scfm to 60 scfm. High force air guns are used for long distance & wide area blow off, cooling & drying applications. Most air blow guns are made of plastic or metal and include an ergonomic grip or handle.

A steady stream of compressed air is delivered through a sturdy metallic nozzle. Air blow guns vary in terms of nozzle type and actuation style. Standard safety nozzles are suitable for general-purpose applications. Small-diameter nozzles can be inserted into tight openings. Air blow guns with extended, straight nozzles provide longer reach. Devices with extended, angled nozzles are designed for use in difficult-to-reach locations. Venturi nozzles contain small holes that allow the discharge to draw ambient air to increase the airflow. In the United States, products that meet or exceed standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are commonly available.
