It is also used to cool machinery or workers in elevated temperature environments using a blast of air. This air mover has an aluminium base & a stainless sheet metal horn for corrosion resistance. It has a 6-inch inside diameter at the base and 12.5-inch horn diameter.
Working Mechanism:
- This air mover operates on the venturi principle that uses high-pressure air from a compressed air system.
- This high-pressure air creates a low-pressure zone at the outlet to induce the sucking in of the gasses & fume to be extracted through the blower's base and out of the air diffuser (horn) of the air mover.
Features:
- Texas Pneumatic Tools TX-6AM-SH venturi air blower uses compressed air or saturated steam as the power source.
- It has no moving parts for reduced maintenance requirements.
- This air mover is suitable for use as a blower or exhauster for venting in hazardous areas.
- It has a connection for the ground wire to prevent electric shocks or fires.
- This 6-inch venturi blower is connected to a 1-inch hose for supplying the compressed air.
- It generates 75-decibel noise at 5 feet distance.
Compatible Accessories:
- Ducting: These ducting are used to channel the air from this air mover to the desired location.
