Custom Industrial Ductwork for Dust and Fume Collection Systems
Most companies that sell dust and fume equipment stop there. You are left to figure out the ductwork on your own, or hire a second contractor to handle it. Spartan Air does it differently. When we design and install your collection system, the ductwork is part of the job. One vendor, one point of contact, and one invoice, so you can focus on what really matters.
All Dust Collection Ductwork is Not the Same
A few things to know about the ductwork we install:
- Two types of ductwork are common with dust collection systems: Clamp together ductwork and spiral ductwork.
- For most industrial and commercial applications, the air filtration ductwork is made from metal. That material choice lessens static electricity risks and static pressure loss.
- The preferred type of ductwork is clamp together. No screws, rivets, or flanges are used. Instead, the ducting is clamped together, which reduces dust hang-up points inside the ducting and makes installation, cleaning, and adjustments painless.
Most facilities pair the duct runs with a dust collection system sized to keep air moving from the hood to the collector. Every engineered run is part of Spartan Air’s turnkey installation.
Reusable, Adaptive Round Duct Work is the New Standard
Woodworking and concrete dust are just two examples of the air filtration solutions we supply and install. For these applications and all others, we use industrial round ductwork which can be reused, retrofitted, and installed in half the time. It is also used in other applications, such as wet dust collectors and mist collectors. Any wet application is perfect for clamp together ductwork. When used in moist or wet collection application, the clamp together ductwork can be retrofitted with higher-end seals or better metals such as stainless steel.
Turn to Spartan Air for air filtration for hundreds of different industries and duct work in a variety of materials and gauges.
Even if you have an existing system, we can replace or repair its duct work. We’ll take the time to discuss our recommendations and your options with you—so why wait one more day to make your facility cleaner and safer? Contact us.
Why Not Just Use Spiral Duct?
Traditional spiral ductwork has real drawbacks. The screws, sealants, and field cuts at every joint create restrictions where dust hangs up and settles. With our quick-fit clamping ductwork, you eliminate the need for screws, which cuts those restrictions and labor time in half during installation. That means savings for you, whether Spartan installs it or your team does.
The clamping system lets your crew assemble the runs for the current project. Need to change it down the road? Just unclamp where you need to and adjust. Adjustable ductwork makes reconfiguration quick and easy.
| Standard Spiral Duct Assembly Steps | Quick-Fit Ductwork Assembly Steps |
| Measure and cut duct | Measure duct run |
| Deburr cut edges | Insert quick-fit end |
| Apply sealant to joints | Clamp joint closed |
| Insert screws or rivets | No screws or sealant needed |
| Repeat at every joint | No rivets or screws, fewer steps |
| Clean up sealant excess | Tight seal, quick adjustments |
| Test joints for leaks | Instant reconfiguration |
| Longer install time | Shorter, labor-saving install |
Some of the processes that create the highest amounts of this dust are:
- Abrasive Concrete Blasting
- Concrete Grinding, Sanding, and Cutting
- Masonry or Concrete Hammering, Chipping, Sawing, and Drilling
- Concrete and Masonry Demolition
- Sand or Concrete Dust Sweeping and Blowing
We Can Provide Engineered Kits for Your Installation
Prefer to install it on your own? We offer pre-engineered reusable round ductwork kits, so you can do the installation yourself. Each kit includes round duct in custom diameters and quick-fit clamping for screwless assembly. With this kit, your crew can easily install the system without cutting or welding.
You’ll also find the kits adaptable. If your layout changes, you can reconfigure the runs instead of replacing them. Duct sections connect with quick-fit clamping, which cuts installation labor nearly in half. This helps keep your operation flexible.
Industrial Ductwork FAQs
Still have questions about industrial ductwork for your facility? Here are some of the questions plant managers and safety officers ask before requesting a quote.
Is ductwork included when I buy a dust or fume collection system from Spartan Air?
Yes. When you choose Spartan Air for your dust or fume collection system, we include ductwork design and installation. One vendor, one point of contact, one invoice. You never coordinate a separate duct and equipment vendor.
Can I install the ductwork myself?
Yes. Many installations use pre-engineered industrial ductwork kits. Each engineered ductwork kit includes round industrial ductwork, custom diameters, and quick-fit clamping for screwless assembly. Your team installs the dust collection duct system without cutting or welding.
Can you reconfigure my existing ductwork?
Yes. Already have a dust collection system but need to add machines or move pick-up points? Adjustable ductwork lets us re-engineer your existing runs. Quick-fit clamping makes reconfiguration simple.
How is your ductwork different from standard spiral duct?
Spiral duct requires screws, sealants, and field cuts at every joint. Our quick-fit clamping industrial ductwork eliminates all three, delivering a 50% labor reduction. Round profile minimizes dust hang-up points for combustible and abrasive material.
Do you handle concrete and silica dust applications?
Yes. Concrete dust carries respirable crystalline silica, a known health hazard regulated by OSHA. Our air filtration ductwork maintains transport velocity to keep heavy, abrasive material moving to the collector.
What ductwork design factors matter most?
Maintaining minimum transport velocity for your specific dust type is critical. Undersized or poorly designed duct lets particulate settle inside the run. Engineered ductwork systems keep velocity consistent from hood to collector.
