Fig. 2.6: Air gun with spiral hose | When blowing and flushing the compressed air itself is the work medium and tool. The flow speed generated by dropping pressure and/or the expanding volume performs the utility work.
Examples of this type of work are blowing out glass bottles, blowing out and cleaning tools and moulds, fixing light tools for processing or conveyance and flushing out metal chips and residue. Compressed air in this form can also be used to let off heat. |
