The compressed air blowgun is a gun that blows air under pressure and usually consists of a nozzle, a handle and a trigger. The blowgun is used in many sectors (mechanics, garage, DIY, industry) and especially in manufacturing and maintenance activities. Connected to the mains or to a compressed air supply (compressor), these tools are primarily used to remove dust, dry, and clean hard-to-reach cavities, and to clean from a great distance, while respecting the safety of the operators. There are a number of different blowgun nozzles depending on the application required: long, short, angled, silent etc... This makes it possible to adjust the blowing force, the noise level...
What are the main features of a compressed air blowguns?
- Airflow (consumption) and blowing force: The airflow provided by the blow gun is crucial in determining its ability to perform various tasks such as cleaning or drying. Ensure that the airflow matches your specific needs. The force with which the air is expelled from the blow gun is important for some applications that require deep cleaning or quick drying. Choose a blow gun with an appropriate blowing force for your needs.
- Noise level: The noise level of the blow gun is a crucial factor, especially if it is used in a work environment where noise is a concern. Opt for a blow gun that offers an acceptable noise level while ensuring optimal performance.
- Type of nozzle (special, long, short, silent, scratch-resistant, angled, Venturi effect): Blow guns can be equipped with different nozzles to adapt to various applications. Make sure to choose the appropriate type of nozzle based on the task you want to accomplish, whether it's a long, short, angled, silent, or scratch-resistant nozzle.
- Progressive airflow regulation
- Operating temperature
- Maximum operating pressure
- Materials (aluminum, resin, shock-resistant acetal): The quality of the materials used to manufacture the blow gun affects its durability and resistance to shocks. Opt for blow guns made from sturdy and durable materials to ensure longevity.
- Standards and directives: 2006/42/CE, EN 12100, OSHA Regulations, RoHS, REACH. Ensure that the blow gun you choose complies with the safety standards applicable in your region or industry. Look for appropriate certifications and approvals to ensure operator safety and regulatory compliance.
- Handle ergonomics (soft-touch): An ergonomic and comfortable handle can make using the blow gun more enjoyable and reduce user fatigue during prolonged use. Choose a blow gun with an ergonomic design for easy and comfortable handling.
