Motorized 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:

  • Backdraft Custom Dampers: Backdraft 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.
  • Manually Operated Custom 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.
  • Motorized Custom 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.

We at EMW can manufacture a custom damper of one of the above types or any other kind, formed precisely to fit your application.

Construction Materials for Custom Dampers:

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 custom dampers in a large range of sizes and shapes, and in materials including mild steel, galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel.

Custom Damper Manufacturing Services

At EMW, we excel at both prototyping and production runs. We manufacture custom 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 custom 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:

  • CAD/CAM Design and Programming
  • CNC precision shearing up to 12 ft. in 1/4" carbon steel, 3/8" aluminum, 3/16 stainless steel
  • CNC punching up to 1/4" plate
  • 12ft. press brakes up to 350 ton with CNC back gauging
  • Saw, torch, and plasma cutting
  • Mig and tig welding all alloys
  • Rolling up to 1/4" x 8 ft. long, and 3/8" x 6 ft. long
  • Structural fabrication (Skids, enclosures, rails, ladders, stairs, stands and more)
  • Waterjet precision cutting with a 12ft.x12ft working envelope

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. In order that the customer receives the proper coating for their exact application all specifications must come from and be approved by the customer 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.

A variety of finishing options are available.

Whether you have CAD drawings ready or just some 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 a custom damper that will fit your application.
