Industrial Dampers

What Are Industrial Dampers?

Industrial dampers are essential control devices that regulate the flow of air, gas, or other media in ductwork, process systems, and ventilation networks. Our dampers are engineered to provide precise control, minimize leakage, and withstand harsh operating conditions in various industrial environments.

At Metalist, we design and manufacture high-performance dampers using advanced materials science and engineering expertise, delivering solutions that exceed industry standards for durability, reliability, and performance.

Types of Dampers We Offer

Guillotine Dampers

Designed for complete isolation in high-temperature and high-pressure systems. Our guillotine dampers feature robust construction and precision sealing to provide reliable shut-off capability in the most demanding applications.

Louver Dampers

Multi-blade dampers that provide exceptional modulating control for airflow management. Our louver dampers feature optimized blade designs and specialized seal technology for precise regulation and minimal leakage.

Butterfly Dampers

Single-blade configurations ideal for on/off applications and moderate control requirements. Our butterfly dampers combine simple operation with heavy-duty construction for reliable performance in various industrial settings.

Custom Engineered Dampers

Special-purpose dampers designed for unique applications and operating conditions. Our engineering team works closely with clients to develop custom solutions that address specific challenges in their industrial processes.

Case Study

Power Plant Efficiency Improvement

A major power generation facility was experiencing significant air leakage in their flue gas system, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs. Our team designed custom high-temperature guillotine dampers with advanced sealing systems specifically engineered for their operating conditions.

Results Achieved:

• 94% reduction in damper leakage
• 2.1% improvement in overall plant efficiency
• Annual energy savings of approximately $430,000
