Spot Cooling

A new solution to an old problem. Heat build up on dry machining operations reduces tool life and machining rates. The Cold Gun Aircoolant System produces a stream of clean, cold air at 50°F (28°C) below supply air temperature. Operation is quiet and there are no moving parts to wear out. It will remove heat to prolong tool life and increase productivity on machining operations when liquid coolants cannot be used.

The Cold Gun is also an alternative to expensive mist systems. It eliminates the costs associated with the purchase and disposal of cutting fluids and worker related health problems from breathing airborne coolants or slipping on wet shop floors.

The standard Cold Gun and High Power Cold Gun incorporate a vortex tube to convert an ordinary supply of compressed air (1) into two low pressure streams, one hot and one cold. The Cold Gun’s hot airstream is muffled and discharged through the hot air exhaust (2). The cold air (3) is muffled and discharged through the flexible hose (4), which directs it to the point of use. Easy mounting and portability are provided through the use of an attached magnetic base (5).

Applications include tool sharpening, drill and cutter grinding, drilling, band saw cooling, plastic machining and setting adhesives. 

EXAIR offers two types, the Cold Gun and the High Power Cold Gun.  The High Power Cold Gun blows twice the amount of cold air as the Cold Gun which doubles the cooling capacity.  They come standard with either a Single Point or a Dual Point Hose Kit with a cone and flat nozzle.  All systems come with a magnetic base and a filter separator.  The magnetic base makes this device simple to attach to your machine and start using.
