Industries we have manufactured heavy duty dampers for include the petrochemical,oil & gas, power generation and construction industries. Diversification is a word that defines us here at EMW, and we stand eager to meet your particular and special need for a custom manufactured heavy duty dampers.

What are Heavy Duty 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. A heavy-duty damper is a damper similar to other designs but where the blades are specially reinforced to provide additional strength and rigidity. EMW can manufacture heavy-duty versions of any of the following standard types (and can manufacture to your custom damper requirements too):

Heavy Duty 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.
Heavy Duty 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.
Heavy Duty 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.

Construction Materials for Heavy Duty Dampers:

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 Heavy Duty 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.

Heavy Duty 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 punching up to 1/4" plate
CAD/CAM design and programming
Saw, torch, and plasma cutting
12' press brakes up to 350 tons with CNC back gauging
MIG and TIG welding of all alloys (GMAW, FCAW, GTAW certified welders and welding to ASME Sec. IX & AWS D1.1 code)
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
Rolling up to 1/4" x 8' long

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 heavy duty dampers that will fit your application.
