Blowers

Types of blowers for the forge

Forge blowers come in two types: manual and electric. Both feed air into the firepot, but they differ in how you operate and use them. Our range includes reliable models of both types, so there's always a blower that suits your way of working. We select every blower for quality, so it will last for years under normal use.

Hand-crank blowers

Hand-crank blowers are driven by a crank, with no electricity needed. That makes them ideal for a field forge or a spot without a power outlet. You control the airflow with the cranking speed: crank faster for a hotter fire. The classic hand-crank blower is sturdy, can be repaired with spare parts, and lasts for years.

Electric blowers

Electric blowers deliver a continuous airflow at the push of a button. There's no cranking involved, which is a real comfort during longer sessions at the fire. Most models have an adjustable air supply, so you can get the fire exactly as hot as your work requires. We stock various versions: compact blowers for the hobby smith and more powerful models for daily use.

Blowers for every workshop

Blowers fit into just about any workshop, whether on a standalone firepot or in a complete forge. If you work on the move or outdoors, a hand-crank blower is handy because you don't need electricity. If you have a fixed spot, an electric blower effortlessly delivers a constant airflow.

You'll also find a suitable model for a firepot without a built-in blower with us. If you're switching from a bellows, a blower is a direct upgrade that you can fit to your existing fire without any modifications.

Which blower suits your forge fire?

Which blower suits your forge fire depends mainly on the size of your firepot and how often you fire it up. A larger firepot needs more air, so choose a blower with enough capacity. For occasional or mobile work, a lighter model is fine; if you forge intensively, a blower with a generous, adjustable airflow pays off. Torn between two models? Our team is happy to think along with you and give you personal advice on your choice.
