SPUNSTRAND DAMPERS

Capabilities and Variations

Spunstrand® Inc. manufactures both Zero-Leak (ZL) and Balancing Dampers (BA) for the corrosive fume handling industry for a variety of environments and applications. These dampers can be used to regulate air flow and/or isolate a particular part of a system. They are constructed of FRP providing a durable corrosion resistant product that can be used for numerous industrial applications such as: semiconductor manufacturing plants, wastewater treatment plants, pharmaceutical facilities, pulp and paper plants, metal plating ships and chemical facilities.

The FRP duct industry’s first Zero-Leak damper was installed in 1995 and patented by Spunstrand® Inc. . The damper was developed by Spunstrand® Inc.’s design team to be certified leak free through individual water testing. Each Spunstrand® Inc. ZL damper is manufactured with a resilient, machined rubber seat permanently formed into the duct wall. Balancing dampers are applicable where ultra low leakage is not critical. These leakage rates should not exceed 5%.
