Wide pattern air gun?

[Indy125]

Hi All,

I use my air gun at work to blow off parts that where just cleaned and rinsed with water. Right now, it's a standard air gun, with a pinpoint target, even when moving as far a way as possible while still being effective. I was wondering if there is an airgun that has a fan, or wide type of pattern for blowing air? I'm picturing a pattern like a wide power washer tip. I would like to use this air gun to reduce the time I spend blowing parts off. Thanks for any and all suggestions!!


Like this but air instead of water

The "tip" on that second one is pretty common in industry to provide a good blast of dispersed air. Maybe get just the nozzle and mount it to your gun?

Be mindful of OSHA if doing this at a business.

Air knife. At a plant I worked at there were several mounted over conveyors to "wipe" water off product as it passed underneath after coming out of a bath. I think the ones in the plant were made by Silvent? Heres a similar tip mounted on a blowgun. https://guardair.com/products/ultra-quietforce-safety-air-gun?variant=11617483358252 They create a thin blade of air that acts like a squegee. If youve ever tried one of those Dyson hand dryers you put your hands inside then retract, its sort of like that.

Known as an "air curtain" over here:



I have one, don't use it often though.

Well, a Walcom waterborne paint paint dryer is exactly that. A fan shaped blow gun with a valve build into it. They cost over $50 but for drying waterborne basecoat they are the nuts.
