Custom Dampers

At Economy Metal Works, every industrial damper we manufacture is a custom damper, manufactured to a customer’s specifications, delivered in a timely fashion and at a competitive price, and manufactured to a matchless standard of quality.

Use our RFQ form at any time to find out how our array of flexible fabricating services can be applied to your project to satisfy the special requirements applicable to your custom damper.

Whether your application is in the area of industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, air pollution control or process equipment, the petrochemical, power generation, or construction industries, or an application that is totally unique, EMW stands ready to assist and manufacture a custom damper that perfectly meets your needs.

What are Custom Dampers?

At the most basic level, a damper is an adjustable plate, or assembly of plates (also called blades), used to control or to alternately block and allow a draft or airflow. Among the standard types of dampers are:

• Custom Backdraft Dampers: Backdraft Heavy Duty Dampers only permit air to flow in one direction in a duct or airway. They are commonly used to prevent outside air from entering a building through an exhaust duct.
• Custom Manually Operated Dampers: Manually operated dampers are simply dampers, which are set by hand, as by the operation of a handle that sits outside the duct that the damper controls.
• Custom Motorized Dampers: In motorized dampers, the plates or flaps, which control, block or allow the draft or airflow are actuated by motors. These motors are often linked to thermostats, for instance in zone controlled air conditioning systems.
• Custom Heavy Duty Dampers - Heavy duty dampers are for more extreme applications, such as chemical plants or petrochemical facilities.

Construction Materials for Custom Dampers:

Our custom dampers, and all products and components manufactured by EMW can be manufactured in mild steel, galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel.

EMW's expertise and capabilities as a full service custom precision metal fabricator allow us to form and manufacture heavy-duty dampers in a large range of sizes and shapes, and in materials including mild steel, galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel.

Custom Damper Manufacturer

EMW has the ability to manufacture a unique and custom heavy-duty damper for your application. We excel at both prototyping and production runs. We manufacture heavy-duty dampers and all other products to each customer’s special requirements.

Custom Dampers Formed to Fit Your Requirements

Our dampers are created through a metal forming process (not through a metal extrusion process), which gives us the flexibility required to manufacture a unique heavy-duty damper product that fits the requirements of each customer’s application. EMW’s metal forming process also allows for the manufacture of a damper that meets close tolerances.

Our Capabilities Include:

• CNC precision shearing up to 12 ft. in 1/4" carbon steel, 3/8" aluminum and 3/16" stainless steel
• Water jet precision cutting with a 12'x12' working envelope and dual cutting heads
• Saw, torch, and plasma cutting
• 12' press brakes up to 350 tons with CNC back gauging
• CAD/CAM design and programming
• MIG and TIG welding of all alloys (GMAW, FCAW, GTAW certified welders and welding to ASME Sec. IX & AWS D1.1 code)
• Rolling up to 1/4" x 8' long
• CNC punching up to 1/4" plate

We have finishing options (powder coat or wet paint) available when needed. Although we are not paint experts by trade or claim to be, we do offer coating/application services through outside sources. All coating will be at the customer's request and specification. To ensure that our customers receive the proper coatings for their applications, we require the customer's approval on their specifications prior to coating. EMW does not make coating recommendations for any application. Essentially, you tell us the kind of coating or finish you need or prefer and we will make sure that coating or finish is applied properly.

Whether you have CAD drawings ready or just verbal instructions to provide, you can be confident that EMW has the experience, know-how and determination to follow-through on your project and manufacture custom decorative / architectural louvers that will fit your application.
