A hot air blower is a device that generates and directs a concentrated stream of high-temperature air. It works by passing air over a heated element, which can be an electric coil or another heating source, before a fan or impeller forces the hot air out. These devices are used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications for tasks such as:
Drying and curing: Accelerating the drying of coatings, adhesives, and paints.
Plastic manipulation: Welding, shrinking, or shaping plastic materials.
Heat treating: Applying heat to components for manufacturing processes.
Shrink wrapping: Applying heat to shrink plastic films for packaging.
General heating: Providing heat to a specific area or workspace.
Unlike simple air heaters, hot air blowers combine the air source and heating element in a single unit, allowing for precise control over both temperature and airflow.
