OverviewIncludes Chip Shields to prevent chip blowback toward the operator and Extension Pipes for hard-to-reach areas. The VariBlast® Compact Safety Air Gun produces variable force via a trigger valve; squeezing the trigger partially or fully controls blowoff force. The cast aluminum body accepts 1/8 NPT engineered air nozzles. The gun is compact, lightweight, ergonomic and suited for repetitive industrial use.
Applications- Part cleaning
- Chip removal
- Liquid blowoff
