Cold air guns provide a cold air source and are designed to improve dry machining operations by reducing heat build-up. Choose from devices with different cooling capacities and styles with adjustable controls to regulate the amount of cold air produced.
Benefits of using a cold air gun
Heat build-up reduces machining rates and can cause tools to wear out more quickly. Cold air guns work by producing a stream of clean air at a specified low temperature in order to prevent heat build-up. They can help to prolong tool life and increase productivity in machining operations where liquid coolants cannot be used. They're designed to be quiet in operation and there are no moving parts to wear out.
Where can I use a cold air gun?
Cold air guns can be used for a variety of applications including:
- Plastics machining - improves finish by cooling milling and cutting tools
- Woodworking - for faster routing without discolouring the woodwork
- Food processing - cooling food products
