The Perfect Match for Cold Air Distribution
Standard copper or aluminum tubing can be difficult to aim and prone to kinking. Our modular link design offers infinite adjustability:
-
Cold Air Gun Integration: Quickly attach to the cold end of a Streamtek™ Cold Air Gun to snake the air into a CNC enclosure or onto a lathe tool bit.
-
Vortex Tube Precision: Use with a Streamtek™ Vortex Tube to provide targeted spot cooling for plastic welding, needle cooling, or electronic component testing.
-
Stay-Put Rigidity: Designed to withstand the “recoil” of high-velocity air without losing its position.
-
Tool-Free Adjustment: Simply move the hose by hand; no wrenches are needed to change your cooling angle mid-process.
Kit Configurations
Each Streamtek™ Flexible Hose Kit comes ready for installation and includes:
-
High-Strength Connector: 3/8″ NPT male fitting to match your equipment.
-
Modular Hose Segment: Durable, snap-fit links that can be shortened or lengthened as needed.
-
Optional Nozzle/Orifice: Designed to maintain the laminar flow of the cold air stream.
Common Applications
-
Machining Operations: Directing cold air for dry-machining and tool-life extension.
-
Plastic Processing: Focused cooling on heat-shrunk plastic or mold cavities.
-
Electronic Testing: Spot-cooling circuit boards or sensors to simulate cold-start conditions.
-
Grinding & Sanding: Keeping the workpiece cool to prevent burning or warping.
Pro-Tip: Thermal Insulation
While the acetal copolymer material is a natural insulator, for ultra-low temperature applications using Streamtek™ Vortex Tubes, keep the hose length as short as possible to ensure the maximum temperature drop reaches your part.
