INDUSTRIAL DAMPERS

Industrial dampers are crucial parts of any industrial ventilation system, as they help regulate airflow in and out of the system, whether it’s clean air, airstreams with corrosive gases, or airstreams with particulate matter. Industrial dampers are a key part of creating a breathable environment in many workplaces. In industrial settings, dampers are typically used to shut off certain parts of a workplace from other ventilated areas while keeping other areas well vented. This is typically done in tandem with a fan to pull contaminated air into the vents to direct it through filters. Industrial dampers are used in both ducted and unducted vent systems and are most often made from steel and/or plastic.

Expansion joints are another important aspect of industrial dampers. These components are designed as flexible additions to ducts that offer extra stress relief and sealing power for dampers. They are most often used to ensure an air-tight seal in environments where a damper’s normal capabilities may not be enough. For example, they are commonly used in areas with temperature fluctuations that would cause a vent system to expand and contract over time or in areas that frequently move or jostle.
