Heißluftpistole

Heißluftpistole, commonly referred to as a steam gun or heat gun, is a handheld power tool used to manipulate objects with high-temperature air flow. It typically consists of an electric motor, a heating element, and a nozzle or tip that directs the hot air flow.

The device works by drawing in ambient air, heating it, and then expelling it through a narrow nozzle at high velocity. The temperature of the air can range from a few hundred to over a thousand degrees Celsius, depending on the model and intended application. Heißluftpistolen are commonly used in various industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and repair work.

The primary function of a Heißluftpistole is to loosen or remove materials such as paint, varnish, adhesives, and rust. It can also be used to dry wet surfaces, remove moisture, and dislodge debris. Models may offer different nozzle sizes and temperature settings, which can be adjusted to suit specific tasks.

Heißluftpistolen come in various designs, including corded and cordless models, with the latter being more portable and convenient. The power tools may also have different safety features, such as protective guards, thermal cut-off devices, and thermal barriers. When used correctly, Heißluftpistolen can be efficient and safe tools for completing tasks, although improper handling can result in burns, fires, or other hazards.
