Duct clamps are integral to any ductwork. After all, they enable you to securely connect the ductwork, ensuring a seamless flow of materials through the system. And in doing this, they ensure that air does not leak out of the system. They also increase the system’s efficiency and reduce the resultant energy costs. Plus, they also reduce the vibration and noise within the ducts, making the working environment more bearable to those in it. But ducting clamps also have other uses you may not have considered!
What Do Duct Clamps Entail?
Securing ductwork looks different for any application. It is thus a good thing that duct clamps are versatile and come in an array of shapes and sizes. You can get them in square or round shapes, short or long lengths, and even in varying thicknesses. Thus, your choice of the clamp will depend on where you want to use it. For example, if you wish to secure a medium-pressure ducting system, we will provide medium-pressure ducting clamps. Often, this is a requirement in the food and pharmaceutical industries. But when dealing with low-pressure ducting systems that move gases, low-pressure duct clamps will do the trick.
At CLAMPIA, we customize duct clamps to ensure you get the best fit for your intended purpose.
The materials of duct clamps also differ. You can get a clamp in any of the following materials:
- Carbon Steel: This material is best for applications that require sturdiness in moist environments.
- Stainless Steel: People who need an outstanding performance in moist environments can consider this corrosion-resistant material. Plus, it boasts sturdiness.
- Alloy Steel: Besides durability, this material also boasts magnetic properties, which are essential in some ductwork applications.
- Titanium: This lightweight yet strong material is also heat resistant, making it one of the most durable duct clamp materials.
- Aluminum: Yet another lightweight option that is rust and corrosion-resistant.
We weigh in on the best options for you based on where you will use the duct clamps.
How Reliable is the Duct Clamp Seal?
The point of attachment can make or break the ductwork. At CLAMPIA, we offer the band material options below to ensure the ducts have a stable seal:
- PVC: This durable material is heat and chemical resistant, making it a better choice than rubber. Plus, the installation process is easy and calls for minimal maintenance.
- Nitrile: This flexible material boasts resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making it ideal for harsh environments.
- EPDM: Thanks to this material’s flexibility and sturdiness, it works for residential and commercial applications.
- Thermoplastic Elastomer: This material is soft, rubbery, and flexible and boasts a high resistance to materials and extreme temperatures. Plus, it is easy to install and maintain.
- Neoprene: This synthetic material is highly flexible and creates an airtight seal around the ductwork. It is best for use in air conditioning and heating systems where airtightness is integral.
Custom band designs are also available for environments requiring more specialized bands. Plus, you can choose the band color that best matches your aesthetics.
Where Can You Use Duct Clamps?
- We’ve mentioned that duct clamps are ideal for ductwork applications as they increase system efficiency. They work for low to medium-pressure ducting systems. Examples of these include particle conveyance, hazardous component handling, dust extraction, and wood shaving conveyance. And because of their versatile builds, you can use them with straight ducting, flanged edge quick fit ducting, and rolled edge quick fit ducting.
Other places you can use the duct clamps include:
- Securing Intermediate Bulk Containers: Using these containers in transit can often pave the way for leaks and spills. You can secure them with duct clamps to ensure you do not lose any liquids or powders. So, if you’ve been looking for a secure way to move fluids and powders, our clamps are the way to go.
- Securing Barrels: Whether you’re carrying wine, cheese, beer, or any materials that should not get contaminated, a secure clamp is important. You can trust our clamps to provide a secure grip and keep you from losing any materials along the way.
- Securing Glass Containers: Keeping food safe from contaminants is easy said than done. But with our clamps, you can finally bid adieu to unwelcome pests, odors, and anything that can interfere with your food. You simply clamp the lid in place and enjoy fresh food and beverages.
- Securing Flexible Hoses: Securing hoses with plastic clamps is often quite problematic. We offer reliable, sturdy clamps to hold your hose in place and prevent leaks. And because they can fit different hose sizes, you can use the same clamp for various hoses.
The Benefits of Quick-Release Duct Clamps
CLAMPIA offers a wide range of quick-release duct clamps suitable for low to medium-pressure ducting systems. You can also use them in high-pressure systems! They boast the following perks:
- A simple installation process: Unlike other duct clamps that require you to invest in special tools, these clamps do not. You place the clamp over the duct end and tighten it with screws. And voila – your work is complete. The removal process is just as easy, making them ideal for applications where time is of the essence.
- A secure attachment: The easy installation process does not dull the effectiveness of the clamps. They feature durable latches that can withstand constant use. When you shut the latch, a strong magnet holds it in place, ensuring a snug fit for the ductwork. And you don’t need to worry about accidental opening as the latch remains in place unless opened deliberately.
- Sturdiness: The duct clamps feature durable materials that will last you for years to come. And you can reuse the duct clamps in other applications.
