OverviewBack Blow Air Nozzles are engineered to clean the inside of pipes, tubes, hoses or channels by producing a 360° annular air pattern directed back toward the inlet. They remove coolant, chips and debris generated by machining without pushing chips further into the part. Suitable for a range of inside diameters from 1/4" (6.3 mm) up to 16" (406 mm). Personal protective equipment is recommended because airflow is directed toward the operator.
Applications- Part cleaning
- Chip removal
- Liquid blowoff
- Part cooling
- Material conveying
- Part ejection
- Fiber conveying
- Air assist
Advantages- Reduced compressed air consumption compared with open tubes
- Approx. 10 dBA average noise reduction (model-dependent)
- Improved blowoff performance with lower air use
- Compact, easily mounted design
- Improved operator safety versus direct blow
- Meets OSHA dead-end pressure and applicable noise requirements
- Supports higher production throughput

How It Works (summary)Nozzles use the Coanda effect to amplify compressed airflow up to 25× or more. Air is ejected from an annular ring of outlets angled to form a cone of high-velocity air directed back toward the inlet. The result is a high-volume, high-velocity airstream with minimal consumption while maintaining OSHA dead-end pressure compliance.
