Heatgun stocks an assortment of powerful LEISTER hot air blowers, designed for use in a range of plastic welding and industrial heat processes.

One of our most popular air blowers is SILENCE. Affordable, yes, but don’t let the relatively low price tag of this mid-range blower fool you. This tool packs ample power and shines with that LEISTER seal of quality. Available in either 50 Hz or 60 Hz power frequency, one of the main selling points of SILENCE is highlighted by its name. This blower operates at just 61 dB(A), meaning it remains noticeably quiet when in use.

The RBR, known in full as the RADIAL BLOWER RECIRCULATION, is another top LEISTER medium pressure blower. With the ability to withstand heat that reaches 350°C / 662°F, the RBR “recycles” warm air during the process, and this environmentally friendly approach saves significant money and energy.

Whether you select the SILENCE, RBR, or any of the hot air blowers we have available, you’re assured a powerful, effective tool to add to your manufacturing process. However, what if you want to take it a step further? What if the goal is to optimize your hot air vice versa.

With a frequency converter, the power systems behind your air blowers can be improved. Compared to the mains power supply, the frequency conversion allows for the blower’s fans to rotate at a faster rate. By adjusting the voltage and frequency in this way, it ultimately reduces system costs. That’s certainly the case if you use our M100-012 and M100-034 frequency converters, which deliver the flexibility to change the blower’s air volume up or processes. This is where our frequency converters make the difference.

An air blower is used across many different industries for various applications. These applications include ventilating, conveying, and cooling with the manipulation of air. This is done by intaking air, where the blower can then change the air’s output in terms of volume, speed, and temperature.

Hot air blowers are straightforward tools to use. The power source is AC power. Once plugged in, it’s simply a case of switching the device on. Depending on the application, the blower will be in a fixed position or used as a handheld tool. The air blower can have variable frequency, temperature, and volume settings, allowing you to fine-tune these options to best fit your application.

Frequency converters are used to take a certain current frequency and convert this to a different frequency. With a frequency changer, it is possible to alter a 50 Hz power frequency to 60 Hz or, in extreme situations, even 400 Hz. There are different frequency converter types available. These include rotary, static, and solid state frequency converters. These each have differences with output frequency, whether it is a single phase or not, and much more.
