Which Industrial Damper is Right for You?

Industrial dampers are a critical part of any industrial air system as they are designed to help control airflow for clean air, airstreams with particulates, and airstreams with corrosive gases. At Flextech Industries, we understand how important industrial dampers are for your building’s industrial ventilation system. We also know that it can be difficult to determine which type of industrial damper you need. That is why we have compiled some information on each type to help you determine which industrial damper is right for you.

Types of Industrial Dampers

To determine which industrial damper is right for your needs, it is important to understand the differences between each type. Some of the different types of industrial dampers include:

Butterfly Dampers

Butterfly dampers are the ideal option for round ducting where low leakage isolation and flow control are required. This type of industrial damper is available in both single and multi-blade designs, providing low-cost isolation and flow control of flue gases.

Louver Dampers

Louver dampers provide quick response, zero leakage, and fast operating cycles, making them the perfect solution for many different applications. This type of industrial damper is specifically engineered for precise flow control and isolation in even the most demanding work environments.

Guillotine Dampers

Guillotine dampers are ideal for creating flow isolation. With the ability to provide a tight shut-off and complete isolation without taking up a significant amount of space, this type of industrial damper is perfect for a wide range of different industries.

Inlet Vane Dampers

Inlet vane dampers are best suited for applications where fan shut-off and volume control are required. This type of industrial damper is available in two different configurations (centre hub design and cantilever design) and can be custom-designed and engineered to meet your exact specifications.

Flap-Diverter Dampers

Flap-diverter dampers are custom engineered to divert high-temperature exhaust gases from gas turbines to the heat recovery boiler or bypass system. They are designed for rectangular and circular cross-section ducts and are ideal for gas turbine exhaust systems, steam generators, and heat recovery boilers.

T-Diverter Dampers

T-diverter dampers are ideal for isolation, bypass, and flow modulation when an application requires the diversion of gas flow to another direction. T-diverter dampers come in 90° and 45° configurations and four distinct designs including swing through seal, step seat, tadpole seal, and step seat with perimeter seal. This variety of options allows you to choose the ideal damper for your precise needs.
