Silvent Blowgun
Blowing with compressed air can be dangerous and injurious if work is not handled professionally. In the USA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established regulations that govern the use of air blow guns. This is because the majority of air blow guns on the market are dangerous, due to the high static pressure when they are blocked.
Should an operator accidentally block the air blow gun orifice, it’s important that the pressure not exceed 30 psi, according to OSHA. If the static pressure exceeds 30 psi, the air blow gun does not meet Should the operator accidentally block the orifice with any body part and the static pressure exceeds 30 psi, there is a risk that the compressed air will penetrate the skin or enter the bloodstream. Air in the bloodstream, a.k.a. air embolism, can cause serious injuries and there are also occurrences that have resulted in fatalities.
Installing an air blow gun that meets OSHA’s safety standards means improved safety and a better work environment for operators. To minimize the risk of air embolisms, Silvent’s nozzle is designed such that it cannot be totally blocked
