Engineered for performance and durability using heavy gauge steel our round sheet metal ducting is built to withstand the high air pressures and constant abrasion created in dust collection and other material handling applications.
Metal dust collector pipe.
We could get into a long discussion about the relatively low odds of plastic pipe being able to generate a sufficiently strong static discharge to ignite a column of dusty fast moving air inside dust collector piping.
Engineered for performance and durability using heavy gauge steel our round sheet metal ducting is built to withstand the high air pressures and constant abrasion created in dust collection and other material handling applications.
Pipe is made of 24 gauge steel.
Metal is also a more expensive choice.
Second plastic pipe elbows have a short radius which encourages clogs and compromises system efficiency.
Because of its quick fit design dust collector pipe is easily expandable and moveable.
Plastic pipe or pvc pipe is unsuitable for dust collection for three reasons.
Choose from our selection of dust collector ductwork including over 375 products in a wide range of styles and sizes.
First plastic pipe fittings are not offered in the diversity required to meet design requirements.
All steel construction offers superior rigidity minimizes static discharge and adds strength.
Nordfab dust collector pipe is airtight leak free and resilient against abrasion.
It can be installed as a new ducting system or integrated into existing ductwork in just minutes.
Fittings are constructed of 20 gauge steel.
Third and most important plastic pipe is non conductive and builds up a static charge as charged.
