ITW Air Management - Incredible Spot Cooling for Machining Operations

Print Print
See Product Details

COLD AIR GUNS

Cold Air Guns use filtered compressed air (80-100 PSIG) and vortex tube technology to produce sub-zero air for industrial spot cooling. Cold air machining eliminates mist coolants and heat-related parts growth while improving tool life, parts tolerance and surface finish quality

Applications:

Cold Air Guns are used in various industrial processes, fabrication, assembly and packaging as a versatile spot cooling device. Most popular applications involve cooling during the machining of metals, plastics, wood, rubber, ceramics and other materials. Cold Air Guns provide effective cooling for most dry machining operations, allowing increases in feed rates and extending tool life. With no moving parts to wear out, the internal vortex tube converts factory compressed air into a sub-zero air stream, producing temperatures down to as much as -30°F.

  • Widely used in milling, drilling turning and other
    metalworking operations
  • Machining of plastics, composites, wood and other materials
  • Surface grinding, drill and tool sharpening
  • CNC routers, blades and bands saws
  • Spot cooling or parts molds and assemblies
  • Industrial sewing and textiles
  • Setting hot melts and adhesives

Features and Benefits

• Eliminates the mess, expense and safety concerns of using mist coolants
• Avoid secondary parts cleaning after machining
• Increases dry machining speed up to 36%
• Extends tool life up to 50%
• Low pressure air output helps clear chips and dust
• Reduces grinding wheel loading caused by overheating
• Cools parts to reduce normalization time and hold tight part tolerances
• Uses only filtered compressed air - no Freon required (no CFCs/HCFCs)
• Single turn adjustable temperature for your specific application
• Exceptionally reliable - no moving parts - quiet operation
• Magnetic base for easy installation and "machine-to-machine" portability
• 5-micron filters included with Cold Air Gun Systems
• Meets OSHA noise and dead end pressure specifications
