Every year, an increasing number of men acquire for themselves real collections of household power tools. In them, an industrial hairdryer, still unusual in the CIS countries, began to meet more and more often. Some sources speak of him as a heat gun or hot air gun. An industrial hair dryer is necessary in cases where local heating with high temperatures of certain materials is required. As a rule, this tool gives out a stream of hot air with a temperature up to 900 ° C. Often the volume of air blown through the heating coil reaches 600 liters per minute.
An industrial hairdryer is most often used to remove old varnish and paint coatings. It can be used when working with some plastic products, for welding various plastic pipes and panels. An industrial hair dryer will help you easily cut pieces of polystyrene foam, bend a large sheet of plexiglass, perform roofing, weld some types of linoleum, and dry the glue line. Some models of these power tools are even able to solder small metal parts of complex configuration.
Commercially available hair dryers are divided into domestic and professional. In household tools, the speed of the air stream and its heating are not regulated or are regulated stepwise. Professional hot air guns are equipped with infinitely adjustable air flow rate and temperature. In some models, there is a function to maintain the set temperature and there is an indicator of the temperature of the air stream, which is extremely important when performing complex tasks.
An industrial hair dryer is capable of creating a powerful stream of heated air without the use of flammable fuel. For its operation, you need a regular power outlet. This power tool is characterized by high power, the range of which is from 900 to 2300 watts.
The functionality carried out by this power tool is determined by the presence of special nozzles in their configuration. Onysses are round, flat, safety and reflex. Typically, this hot air gun has the shape of a gun, although more powerful models differ in other forms. The cost of this power tool depends on its power and functionality, so you need to immediately determine its purpose and the range of upcoming tasks.
When choosing a model, you need to pay close attention to such technical parameters as temperature control, heat shield and electronic air stabilization system. Some industrial hair dryers have the function of blowing with cold air, which is very convenient for certain types of work, such as bonding thermoplastic materials and quickly cooling them. Models with adjustable air supply temperature have a longer service life than without it.
When choosing an industrial hair dryer, carefully look at the nozzles for it. So, round (focusing) nozzles are necessary for soldering copper profiles and pipes, work with plastic tape, and flat nozzles are used to remove paintwork, old wallpaper, veneer, putty, films and deformation of plastic, polystyrene, PVC plates. Cutting nozzles are necessary when cutting foam and rigid foams, and glass-protective ones - when working with windows and other glass surfaces. Welded nozzles are used in working with synthetic welding cables, and reflex nozzles are used when heating plastic pipes to deform them. Scrapers (paint scrapers), handles (holders), welding rods and rollers can be supplied to the hot air gun.
