What is an air blow gun?
An air blow gun is an effective tool that uses compressed air to blow dust, dirt, and loose particles from different surfaces.
Its effectiveness depends on the compressor power. In addition to air blow guns, we also have a wide range of compressors at Biltema.
Use an air blow for cleaning, drying, and inflating
An air blow gun is an incredibly versatile tool that can be used in a variety of situations. The most common uses include:
- Cleaning: An air blow gun is perfect for removing dust, dirt, and loose particles from surfaces – even though it doesn’t use water. The tool is particularly useful for cleaning areas that are hard to reach with a vacuum cleaner or cloth. You can use it to clean your car’s engine compartment.
- Remove particles: An air blow gun can also be used to blow away particles and excess material from your work surface. During renovation work, you can use it to remove excess sawdust, building materials, or even old flaking paint before you start filling, plastering, or painting.
At Biltema you will also find compressor accessories, such as oil, push button switches, etc. Explore our compressed air equipment, where you will find quick connectors and hose reels.
Should I choose an air blow gun with a long or short nozzle?
Choosing between a short or long nozzle can be confusing. First, consider what you will use the air blow gun for. A long nozzle provides longer reach, perfect for larger projects, but it doesn’t matter if the project is large or small or in hard to reach areas. On the other hand, a short nozzle allows for better control and higher precision – perfect for detailed tasks. Remember, it’s not just the nozzle length that’s important, but also the comfort and handling. Try different models and choose the one that feels best in your hand. Your air blow gun should be an extension of your arm, not an obstacle. Your project deserves the best tools.
Maintenance and storage of air blow guns and compressors
To give your air blow gun and compressor the longest possible service life, you need to maintain and store them correctly. Inspect them regularly to ensure they are functioning properly. Make sure that dirt does not accumulate in the air blow gun nozzle, which could block air from getting through. The compressor must be kept clean and free of blockages, and the oil must be changed regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When it comes to storage, it is important to store your air blow gun and compressor in a dry, clean, and safe area to protect them from damage and to extend their service life.

FAQs
How does an air blow gun work?
Start by connecting the air blow gun to the compressor. When you press the trigger, the compressed air will be blown at high pressure. As soon as you release the trigger, the air flow is interrupted. The pressure of the air blow gun depends on how much pressure your compressor can deliver.
What can an air blow gun not be used for?
An air blow gun is an effective tool for many tasks, but it is not suitable for fragile electrical components or pressure-sensitive surfaces where products or areas may be damaged, such as speaker systems. Nor is an air blow gun suitable for wet cleaning, including the removal of ingrained dirt or stains.
How high is the noise level of a compressor?
The compressor noise level depends on many factors, such as model, size and maintenance. The noise level from the compressor is usually 40-90 decibels. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection when using a compressor.
