A patented blower-driven hand-held air gun overcomes the drawbacks of using factory compressed air for machine cleaning and dusting off operations. It is also claimed to be cheaper to operate. The ACI blow gun, being independent of an air compressor, is portable and runs on low pressure at only 138mb compared to at least 2bar from a factory supply.

The performance however is not affected - because of the low air pressure, it is much quieter at 80 dB(A) than a typical compressed air unit running at 92 dB(A).

The blow gun is connected by a flexible hose to its lightweight, portable blower unit which plugs into any 13 amp single phase supply.

The low pressure unit is also inherently safer in use than compressed air and is not subject to misuse in irresponsible hands.

The gun uses a completely new type of air pressure valve, which makes trigger free operation possible.

The operator's thumb covers a hole in the gun, raising the air pressure in the hose to inflate a bag in the base unit.

The bag lifts a plate which vents a second bag, which in turn deflates allowing air to the gun.

The reverse sequence of operations takes place when the operator takes his thumb off the hole in the gun.
