Model: | LTA750-1INL (110V, 1kW) Cartridge Type Hot Air Gun (inline type) ![]() |
Unit Description: | Model LTA750-1INL belongs to the Airtorch series of inline hot air tool devices, which can discharge continuous hot air up to 900°C. This productsspecific performance is discussed below.
Such hot air guns are used in plastic welding, heat shrinking of thermoplastics, ceramic drying, on-site heat treatment, plastic forming, and many other inline applications. The unique construction provides efficient heat recovery and management, providing high-efficiency hi-temperature discharge. If controls are not used and the unit is energized, a minimum flow of 50 slpm is required for 1 KW. A lower power input can be used. For a flow lower than 50 slm, one needs a control panel that limits power and temperature—like the BPAN-O-PLUS, which allows a lower power setting. Dry Air: Without a control panel plugged into 110V Common use 750C at 110V plug in at 50 slm@ full 1 KW power. For higher temperatures 120V is required and a flow meter and BPAN-PLUS are required for safety ~250C at 110 V plug in at ~ 280 slm @ full 1 KW power With Control Panel A control panel that limits power and temperature is required for flows lower than 50 slpm. A BPAN-O-PLUS control panel can be selected from the pull-down menu. Note: Parts of the surface are hotter than 50°C (DO NOT TOUCH). This unit is for inline stand-alone use. The Airtorch has an in-built Type “K” thermocouple and an available temperature read-out (optional). Flow generation is with a compressor and flow meter, both in the user scope. Plug and play. Optional BPAN-O-PLUS and TC Read display. These are shown in the pull-down menu. This unit’s minimum flow for air at full power is 1.8 SCFM (~51 SLM). The flow settings vary for other gases. The input gas should not exceed 60C. If less than minimum flow is maintained – please use a lower power setting than 1 KW and low appropriate flow. This can be done by proportionately reducing the voltage or using the BPAN-O-PLUS Controller. When the BPAN-O-PLUS is purchased, the power can be reduced by ~50%. Below that power, a high temperature may not be achieved. The flow has to be correspondingly adjusted. |
Dimensions: | Unit: 1.5″ dia x 15.25″ L (collar is 1.95″ dia)
Air inlet: 1/4″ NPT male fitting |
Weight: | Lightweight with a compact, ergonomic design |
Temperature: | 750C/800°C continuous airflow. It can be used carefully in an intermittant mode to higher temperatures like 900C but this should be done very carefully. Please contact MHI. |
Airflow: | The minimum required is 1.8 CFM at the inlet at max power for a 120V plug-in. Adjust the flow meter (optional) to get minimum airflow The unit may burn and fail if minimum airflow is not provided for any power setting. |
Voltage: | 110/120V VAC |
Frequency: | 50/60 HZ |
Current: | Approx. 9 Amps @ 110VAC |
Power Consumption: | ~1000 Watts |
Output Power Control: | Remove plug – no switch provided |

Optional Accessories:
BPAN-O-PLUS and TC REad (Pictures shown above) |
Note the unit has its thermocouple.
Power controller BPAN-O-PLUS (120V) is an option for power control. This interfaces with the built-in thermocouple. The TC read purchase includes an additional K- thermocouple and its stand (TC Read+TC+STAND) or can be used with the BPAN-O-PLUS power controller (optional). The Built-in thermocouple can also be connected to the optional TC Read system for an external display. The TC-Read unit plugs into a 115/120V single-phase socket. Optional: 3 1/2″ LCD display switchable between °C and °F (TC Read) |
THE MINIMUM AIRFLOW REQUIRED FOR SAFE USE IS ~1.8 SCFM OR MORE. PLEASE NOTE UNLIKE MTA’S, the LTA’s are not fully sealed. FULLY sealed units are MTA models. Please link to the LTA page for more information.
