A protective accessory engineered for safer blow-off work, the Garant shield turns a standard compressed air gun into a safety air gun setup, putting a transparent barrier between you and the dirt and swarf the air stream throws back. At 160 mm (6.3 in.) tall, it belongs at machining centers, deburring benches, and parts cleanup stations.
It fits the matching Garant air guns, and any widely used compressed air gun with a 6-mm nozzle pipe accepts it as well, so one accessory standardizes protection across mixed stations. The design is angular rather than a flat pane, giving the guard a shaped profile over the blow-off point, and the accessory changes nothing about how the gun is held or triggered. Hoffmann Group USA also carries the safety glasses and hearing protection that complete a blow-off station.
Key features:
• Nozzle pipe mounting: the shield installs on the gun's nozzle pipe, so protection travels with the gun rather than staying at one bench.
• Clear working view: the see-through pane keeps the nozzle and the part in sight for the entire blow-off.
• Hanging option: a built-in way to hang the shield up between uses, keeping it within reach at the station.
How do you protect yourself when using compressed air?
Put a clear barrier between the nozzle and yourself, and wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and hearing protection, so thrown-back dirt and swarf hit the shield first.
Applications: blow-off of machined parts, clearing swarf from fixtures and vises, machine tool cleanup, workbench cleaning, compressed air blow-off stations.
Industries: metal fabrication, machining, industrial maintenance, general manufacturing.
Users: machinists, machine operators, maintenance technicians.
Does a shield make a blow gun safer to use?
Yes. A screen ahead of the blast intercepts what the air throws back, and adding one is the quickest route to a safety blow gun setup at an existing station. Hold the gun as usual and keep the shield between the nozzle and you while air is flowing.
Which air guns accept this protective shield?
Fit is determined by the nozzle pipe. The shield is made for a 6-mm pipe diameter, the size used by the matching Garant guns and by most common blow guns, so check that measurement on your gun before ordering a shield for each station.
What kind of tool is a blow gun in a machine shop?
Blow guns are hand-held air tools that push compressed air out through a nozzle pipe, clearing dirt and swarf off parts and equipment. They turn up wherever chips and dust collect, from machine enclosures to bench tops. The shield's hanging option keeps it stored beside the gun, so it is on hand each time air comes out."
