Product Features You Can Conduct With
Materials of Construction :

Dampers are often exposed to various environmental conditions, including temperature extremes, humidity, and corrosive substances.

Our dampers are typically constructed from corrosion-resistance materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, or Mild steel where corrosive substances are absent.

Design and Construction:

Blade Configuration:

Dampers may feature various blade configurations, including parallel blades, opposed blades, or radial blades. Our blades are designed to minimize air resistance, provide precise modulation, and reduce turbulence for efficient performance.

Frame Construction:

The frame is designed for rigidity and durability, ensuring stability under varying airflow conditions.

Bearings and Bushings:

High-quality bearings or bushings are incorporated to facilitate smooth blade movement and reduce friction.

Sealing Mechanism:

An effective sealing mechanism is crucial to prevent leakage when the damper is in the closed position.

We provide different types of gaskets, seals often made from neoprene or silicone, provide a tight seal. Other than seals our blade overlap design to ensure minimal air leakages.

Actuation Mechanism:

Manual Operation:

Dampers can be manually operated using hand levers or handwheels for applications where manual adjustment is sufficient.

Motorized/Electric Actuation:

For automated control, motorized or electric actuation systems are employed, enabling precise positioning and remote operation.

Pneumatic/Hydraulic Actuation:

Some applications may require pneumatic or hydraulic actuation for dynamic and responsive airflow control.

Position Indicators:

We can provide dampers with position indicators, providing visual or sensor-based feedback on the damper's status (open, closed, or partially open).

Performance Specifications:

Pressure Drop:

We design dampers that offers lowest resistance to ventilation or air flow throughout the systems. We ensure that there must be minimum pressure drop when damper is in open position.

Leakage Rate:

Air leakage is minimized through precise blade and seal design, with dampers meeting specified leakage rate standards such as AMCA 500-D.

Customization and Application-Specific Features

Size and Configuration:

Dampers are available in various sizes and configurations like blade types, actuation mechanism to accommodate different duct sizes and applications.

Special Coatings:

For specific applications, dampers may have special coatings, such as corrosion-resistant coatings or coatings that comply with industry-specific regulations.

Temperature Resistance:

Our damper material and components are selected and designed to withstand the anticipated temperature conditions and ensures longevity and reliability.

Maintenance Accessibility:

Our design gives optimum consideration to ease of maintenance. Our dampers are designed for easy access, inspection, and cleaning to minimize downtime and ensure continued functionality.

Damper Offerings and Features:

  • Material
    a. Carbon steel:  Cost-effective for low-pressure, non-corrosive applications.
    b. Stainless steel:  More resistant to corrosion and higher temperatures.
Opposed blade dampers
  • Offer better airflow control than butterfly dampers.
  • Good for both on/off and throttling
  • Suitable for moderate pressure and temperature
  • Material
    a. Carbon steel:  Cost-effective for low-pressure, non-corrosive applications.
    b. Stainless steel:  More resistant to corrosion and higher temperatures.
Louver dampers
  • Multiple blades rotate to control air flow.
  • Good for modulating flow in clean air applications.
  • Not ideal for tight shutoff or dirty fluids.
Flue dampers
  • Ideal for high temperature and corrosive substances.
  • Flue dampers help prevent the built up of creosote, a flammable residue that can pose a fire hazard.
  • Used in boiler, incinerators, and dust collection systems.
  • Materials
    a. Carbon steel:  Cost-effective for low-pressure, non-corrosive applications
    b. Stainless steel:  More resistant to corrosion and higher temperatures.
    c. High-alloy steels:  For extreme temperatures and pressures or highly corrosive fluids.
Application of Dampers
Building ventilation and HVAC systems:
  • Airflow control:  Dampers regulate the flow of air in ventilation systems, ensuring proper air circulation and temperature control.
  • Fresh air intake and exhaust:  Dampers control the amount of fresh air entering and stale air exiting a building, maintaining good indoor air quality.
  • Fire safety:  Fire dampers automatically close in case of a fire, preventing the spread of flames and smoke through ventilation ducts.
Industrial processes:
  • Dust collection systems: Dampers control the flow of dust and fumes in dust collection systems, protecting workers and equipment from harmful airborne particles.
  • Fume hoods: Dampers regulate the airflow in fume hoods, capturing hazardous fumes and gases generated during chemical experiments or industrial processes.
  • Pipeline control: Dampers control the flow of fluids in pipelines, used in various industrial applications like chemical processing, oil and gas production, and water treatment.
Power generation:
  • Boiler flue gas control:  Dampers regulate the flow of flue gas from boilers, optimizing combustion efficiency and reducing emissions.
  • Turbine air intake:  Dampers control the airflow into turbines, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage from foreign objects.
