How are hot air heaters different from hot air tools?
Heat processing tools come in many different shapes and configurations, built to cover a wide range of applications – both domestic and commercial. With solutions including hot air blowers, heaters, and other tools, there can be confusion among newcomers to the world of process heating. That is where this guide will help. If you’re unsure about the difference between a hot air blower or heater, or you require an introduction to process heating, you have landed in the right place. We explain all of the information you need below.

It is easy to believe there is no difference between hot air tools and hot air heaters. However, these are two separate electrical appliances, and there are significant variations between tools and heaters.
Admittedly, they both have the same general function as their names suggest: they produce heat. Yet, while a hot air blower allows you to direct this heat in a specific direction, a hot air heater is used to heat up an enclosed space. Think of it like an oven. A hot air heater raises the temperature in a specified chamber, which could, for example, dry products in a batch rather than individually.
Another similarity between the two is that they both use air to produce heat. With a heater, however, most options don’t supply an air supply. They often only contain a heating element, resulting in you having to produce an external source of air for the system to ultimately work.
Compared to a hot air tool, there are also more considerations to think about when selecting the right hot air heater. Although this is an effective power tool, a heater is only useful if you get aspects such as air flow volume, chamber size, and temperature correct. You also have to carefully think about the objects you are heating – including their shape, size, and composition – to ensure they receive the right temperature and treatment.
Deciding whether a hot air tool or hot air heater is right for your business depends on your needs. With the above information in mind and understanding the differences between the two, making the decision should be an easier one.
