Metal Dust Collector Pipe

Engineered for performance and durability using heavy gauge steel our round sheet metal ducting is built to withstand the high air pressures and constant abrasion created in dust collection and other material handling applications.

Metal dust collector pipe. That is not to say that metal is not a better choice it is. Plastic pipe or pvc pipe is unsuitable for dust collection for three reasons. Fittings are constructed of 20 gauge steel. All steel construction offers superior rigidity minimizes static discharge and adds strength.

Second plastic pipe elbows have a short radius which encourages clogs and compromises system efficiency. Nordfab dust collector pipe is airtight leak free and resilient against abrasion. Third and most important plastic pipe is non conductive and builds up a static charge as charged. Engineered for performance and durability using heavy gauge steel our round sheet metal ducting is built to withstand the high air pressures and constant abrasion created in dust collection and other material handling applications.

First plastic pipe fittings are not offered in the diversity required to meet design requirements. Metal is also a more expensive choice. In stock and ready to ship. Pipe is made of 24 gauge steel.

It can be installed as a new ducting system or integrated into existing ductwork in just minutes. We could get into a long discussion about the relatively low odds of plastic pipe being able to generate a sufficiently strong static discharge to ignite a column of dusty fast moving air inside dust collector piping.
