Guillotine dampers are an essential part of industrial systems where air or gas flow control is vital. In particular, these dampers are frequently utilized in the bypasses, inlets, and outputs of specific baghouse designs, and they are essential to the effective operation of these filtration systems. Baghouse systems, which are extensively employed in a variety of industries for the collection of dust, depend on accurate control over airflow, hence the design and manufacture of guillotine dampers is crucial.
At Flexatherm, we specialize in offering premium guillotine dampers that are customized to match the unique requirements of our customers. Flexatherm provides everything you need for a complete guillotine damper assembly, as well as individual parts including operators, shafts, cylinder stands, seat rings, and guillotine discs. Because of our supply flexibility, we can collaborate with manufacturers who would rather purchase a completely constructed damper than integrate these components into their current ductwork.
The accuracy with which our guillotine dampers are designed and constructed is one of their best qualities. Depending on your needs, we can provide a seat ring with a machined sealing surface or one that has been Blanchard ground. This meticulous attention to detail lowers the possibility of leakage by ensuring the damper gets an excellent seal. Additionally, the capacity of our guillotine discs to tolerate minor misalignments before to final seating improves the sealing performance as a whole. In real-world applications, where exact alignment is frequently difficult to attain, this flexibility is essential.
Our standard shafts are made of 316 stainless steel, which is renowned for having exceptional resistance to corrosion. Even in tough industrial settings, the damper’s endurance and durability are guaranteed by this material selection. For bypass applications, we also provide customized guillotine damper designs. The guillotine in these designs is made up of two discs that are fastened to the same shaft. With this setup, a purge or vacuum can be used to provide a zero-leakage condition, guaranteeing that no unfiltered air or gasses escape the system.
Flexatherm offers a patented guillotine damper design for use in applications where the destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is required, like in thermal oxidizer models. Thermal oxidizers are essential for cutting down on harmful emissions since they burn volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to produce less toxic byproducts. Our guillotine dampers are designed to endure the harsh operating conditions seen in these systems, guaranteeing dependable operation and low maintenance needs.
Another important consideration in our guillotine damper designs is safety. Every damper produced in compliance with Flexatherm’s specifications has a lockout mechanism that may be used in both closed and open positions. This feature, which stops the damper from accidentally being operated while maintenance is being done, is crucial for guaranteeing worker safety during maintenance operations. An easy-to-use but reliable safety measure that helps make industrial settings safer to operate in is the lockout mechanism.
To sum up, Flexatherm’s guillotine dampers are made with accuracy, robustness, and security in mind. Our dampers provide excellent performance and dependability whether you are a thermal oxidizer, bypass application, or baghouse system manager. You can be sure that you are getting a product that satisfies the highest standards of quality and safety when you choose Flexatherm. We have the flexibility to meet your specific demands by being able to supply individual components or entire assemblies, ensuring the smooth operation of your industrial systems.
