Vortec Cold Air Guns

Providing Versatile Spot Cooling Since 1961

The Vortec Advantage

Vortec Cold Air Guns (CAG's) use filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology to produce sub-zero air for industrial spot cooling applications. With no moving parts to wear out, the internal vortex tube converts compressed air into a cold air stream, producing temperatures down to -30°F (-34°C).

    Product Benefits

  • Increated dry machining speeds up to 36%
  • Extend tool life by 50%
  • Substantially increase feed rates
  • Eliminate heat-related part growth
  • Hold tight part tolerance
  • Replace liquid coolant
  • Adjustable temperatures and flow rates

      Meet Our Products

Standard Cold Air Guns provide adjustable cooling that can extend product life and improve efficiency. They are available in a standard nozzle or a dual nozzle for applications where multidirectional cooling is needed.

Eliminates the mess associated with condensation and frost arising from the continuous use of a Cold Air Gun. A must-have for sensitive applications such as machining paper products or when working with oil-based lubricants. 

The perfect solution for applications where the Standard Cold Air Gun is too big or where lower flow rates are needed. The Mini Cold Air Guns are available in both standard and dual nozzle.

The Thread Guard was designed specifically for industrial sewing applications. It keeps needles cool to reduce heat-related needle breakage and thread burning. Cold air temperatures and flow rates are preset to 10°F and 4scfm.

Our History

As the first company to develop technology for converting the vortex tube phenomenon into effective industrial cooling applications, ITW Vortec prides itself on providing the best innovative compressed air solutions in the industry.

Since 1961 we have continued to refine and expand vortex tube applications, as well as develop air amplification products.  Purchased by Illinois Tool Works in 1990, Vortec is housed under the ITW Air Management business unit and works alongside Paxton Products to design quality engineered air systems.

All of our cold air guns are back by an industry-leading 10-year warranty.
