Blowers & Compressed Air

Electric Air Blowers and Compressed Air

Electric air blowers are ideal for cleaning computers, computer keyboards, storage devices, and photography gear. No matter how careful you are, dust always seems to find a way into the lens of your camera or in between your keys. Air blowers remove dust from hard-to-reach spots on electronics and cameras, including the rear optical element and the mirror. Whether you're a casual or professional photographer or an everyday computer user, blowers are the best way to keep your equipment clean.

Types of Blowers

There are several types of blowers available. Manual blowers are simple but effective. These devices feature a valve and a pump. You squeeze the pump to blow air onto your lens or other gear, dislodging dust and debris. With electric air blowers, you get reusable devices that capture ambient air to clean your equipment. Compressed air in a can is an instant, powerful solution that comes in a disposable container.

Choosing the Right Blowers

The right air blower depends on your needs. If you're looking for a gentle cleaning solution that won't damage your lens and glass elements, manual blowers offer a fitting solution. If you're looking for a little more power, compressed air may provide better results. Be careful, though, because compressed air is much stronger than manually pumped air. Keep a close eye on the air pressure when it comes to cleaning your lens and filters. Electric air dusters offer a more powerful, reliable solution. Some electric blowers feature motors up to 500 watts with enough air power to safely clean camera lenses and other equipment. Many have long cords to reach nearby power sources. Using an electric device is an environmentally friendly option as opposed to disposable products.
