Sourcing your duct from Nordfab allows you to utilize a single source for ducting for the entire dust collection system and provides other benefits as well.
Many dust collection systems require ductwork components in various metal gauges, depending on placement in the system. Even for those applications where standard duty duct is acceptable for the majority of the ductwork, a heavier gauge may be the best solution when replacing high wear components such as elbows / bends or for inlet ducting.
When the material being conveyed is highly abrasive, duct in dust collection systems can wear or otherwise be damaged, resulting in a need for frequent replacement. Choosing a heavier gauge can reduce the number of replacements required.
Our heavier gauge ducting may also be a good solution for inlet ducting where higher strength ducting is typically required and where square and spiral ducting are not typically recommended.*
Nordfab offers duct constructed from a range of heavier metal gauges (thicker walled than standard duct):
Examples of Applications where Heavy Gauge Duct May be Needed:
Look for our heavy gauge ducting in our product section.
*We recommend you review SMACNA or other safety guidelines for selection of inlet ducting.
