[F5M15] Force 5 Blowgun with 1500mm Wand
This heavy-duty blowgun with a 1500 mm wand is the longest configuration in the range and is designed for specialised blowdown tasks where maximum reach and distance from the work area are the primary requirements. Like the other models, it is intended for use with high-capacity compressed air systems and performs best when powered by large diesel air compressors delivering airflow above 100 cfm (approximately 2800 L/min).
The extended 1500 mm wand allows the operator to stand well clear of dust, debris, noise, and the material being displaced. This can be advantageous in situations where access is limited or where additional separation from the work area is required for safety or comfort. Typical examples include cleaning the tops of silos and bins, reaching deep into hoppers or large vessels, or clearing material from elevated or awkward locations where closer access is not possible.
A high-performance Venturi-style air tip is used to amplify airflow at the point of discharge, delivering a powerful stream of air without increasing inlet pressure. This enables effective removal of heavy dust and loose material even at extended distances. As with the rest of the range, the dead-man handle automatically shuts off airflow when released, supporting safer operation in industrial environments.
While the 1500 mm version offers maximum reach, it is inherently less manoeuvrable than shorter models. The additional length can feel ungainly in confined spaces and makes the tool less convenient to transport and handle, particularly in mobile operations. It is also more cumbersome to ship and store, which is why this length is now offered as an optional configuration rather than a default choice.
In most general-purpose applications, shorter wand lengths provide a better balance between reach, control, and usability. The 1200 mm version, in particular, is often preferred as it keeps the operator a comfortable distance from dust, debris, and noise while remaining practical to handle across a wide range of tasks. For even tighter or more detailed work, the shorter options offer greater precision and ease of use.
The 1500 mm model is best suited to operators who specifically need to stand well away from the work area or who regularly work at height or over obstacles where extra reach is essential. Outside of these niche scenarios, many users find that a shorter wand delivers better overall efficiency and less operator fatigue.
Built for demanding environments, this blowgun is intended for high-volume air systems and is not suitable for small workshop compressors. Performance is driven by available airflow rather than pressure, making correct compressor pairing essential.
Overall, the 1500 mm blowgun is a purpose-built option for specialised applications requiring maximum reach. While it delivers the same high airflow, safety features, and robust construction as the rest of the range, most users will achieve better day-to-day results with the more manoeuvrable 1200 mm or shorter wand lengths, reserving the 1500 mm version for situations where extra distance is truly necessary.
