Clamp-Together Duct: Why, Where and When to Use It
Clamp-together Duct: Why Use It?
Clamp-together duct was first introduced to the United States from Europe, where its development was driven by the need to reduce labor cost and by the facilitation of changes that surround the European passion for “cell manufacturing.” The ease, speed and adjustability of clamp-together duct allows even the unskilled to make modifications quickly.
The attraction of clamp-together duct in America was, at first, largely on the part of the end-user, who discovered the same benefits as the Europeans.
The shift to clamp-together duct was a small change in mindset for some who were already purchasing elbows and duct. For others who were involved in production, it was a larger leap. Those that made the change found that they could lower their installation cost, and down time when moving machinery in their production area due to labor time required to make connections to their dust collection system
The reason is simple: Clamp-together duct is a continuously-manufactured product that gives you the flexibility to make quick changes to your plant layout. It is produced in a disciplined and continuously flowing production environment. Naturally, the cost will be lower than those of someone making for “the job”. These facts, combined with the design service of Industrial Duct - and most importantly, the fast turnaround of product - has provided many customers with a reliable, efficient duct system which allows for quicker installation and changes than standard spiral pipe systems. Fast turnaround doesn't only mean the first order, either!
One of the biggest concerns is additional parts needed once the job starts if changes are made on-site. With the efficient production afforded by the continuous flow of parts, Industrial duct and our clamp-together duct work system has the ability to meet the customers' emergency or design change needs.
The bottom line is that clamp-together duct is a flexible duct system which is widely accepted and preferred by many end users. It has become a standard product when hooking machinery to duct collection systems, as standard as spiral or flanged duct.
