Cold Air Guns For Spot cooling From Vortec

Vortec Cold Air Guns- Incredible Spot Cooling for Machining Operations

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.

Cold Air Gun 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
  • Industrial Spot Cooling Cold Air Gun Models include:
    • Adjustable Cold Air Gun - Our most popular and versatile model.
    • Mini Cold Air Gun- Its compact size allows close positioning on grinding operations.
    • Thread Guard® - Keeps sewing needles cool to reduce breakage and thread burning.
    • Hot Air Gun - Spot pre-heating (up to 200°+ F) of parts and processes, using no electricity.
