AEROSPACE & AVIATION MANUFACTURING

Is Your Ductwork Engineered for Titanium Dust, Composite Particulate, and Chemical Fume — All in the Same Facility?

US Duct engineers dust collection, fume extraction, and process ventilation systems for aerospace and aviation manufacturing environments — where combustible metal machining, composite layup, and chemical processing often run side by side.

Aerospace manufacturing facilities rarely deal with just one contaminant type. Titanium and aluminum machining generates combustible metal dust. Composite layup and trimming produce fine fiber particulate. Chemical milling, etching, and plating lines generate corrosive fumes. Paint and coating booths add VOC exhaust to the mix. US Duct designs ductwork and dust/fume collection systems that account for each of these processes — and the different transport velocities, materials, and containment requirements they demand — within a single facility.
THE Problem

Is a One-Size-Fits-All Duct System Putting Your Facility at Risk?

Aerospace manufacturing facilities often add processes and equipment over time — machining, composites, chemical processing, coating — without revisiting whether the ductwork tying it all together was ever designed for the mix.

  • Is your ductwork rated to handle combustible titanium or aluminum machining dust per NFPA 484?
  • Can your system separate composite fiber particulate from metal swarf collection to avoid cross-contamination?
  • Are your chemical milling, etching, or plating lines venting corrosive fumes through ductwork built to withstand them?
  • Does your paint and coating booth exhaust meet VOC and OSHA air quality expectations?
  • Is your CNC machining area equipped to handle oil and coolant mist without leaks?
THE SOLUTION

Engineered Systems for Every Contaminant Your Facility Produces.

US Duct designs ductwork and collection systems around the specific processes in your aerospace facility — not a generic, one-size-fits-all layout.

  • Heavy-gauge, NFPA 484-aware ductwork for combustible titanium and aluminum machining dust.
  • Dedicated collection paths for composite fiber particulate, kept separate from metal swarf.
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless and specialty material options for chemical milling, etching, and plating fume extraction.
  • Leak-free US Tubing for oil mist and coolant mist collection in CNC machining areas.
  • Paint and coating booth exhaust systems designed with VOC and OSHA air quality standards in mind.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have Questions About Aerospace Manufacturing Ventilation?

What ventilation requirements apply to titanium and aluminum machining dust in aerospace facilities? ⌄
Titanium and aluminum machining generates combustible metal dust, which falls under NFPA 484 (Combustible Metals) considerations. US Duct designs ductwork with awareness of NFPA 484 guidance, including spark-aware layouts and heavy-gauge construction, but final system compliance depends on your material, process volume, and AHJ requirements — confirm code specifics with your engineer or fire protection consultant.
How does US Duct handle composite fiber dust differently from metal dust? ⌄
Composite fiber particulate, such as carbon fiber or fiberglass, behaves differently in an airstream than metal swarf and shouldn’t share the same collection path. US Duct designs dedicated duct runs and separation equipment for composite dust to help avoid cross-contamination and match transport velocity to the material.
Can US Duct’s ductwork withstand corrosive fumes from chemical milling or plating lines? ⌄
Yes. US Duct offers stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant material options for ductwork exposed to chemical milling, etching, and plating fumes. Material selection depends on the specific chemistry involved — our team can help match materials to your process.
Does US Duct support paint and coating booth exhaust systems? ⌄
Yes. US Duct designs paint and coating booth exhaust ductwork with awareness of VOC and OSHA air quality expectations, similar to systems used in automotive finishing applications.
Can US Tubing handle oil mist and coolant mist from CNC machining? ⌄
Yes. US Tubing is a 100% leak-free, laser-welded clamp-connect system designed for oil mist, coolant mist, and other positive-pressure applications — well suited to CNC machining areas.
How does US Duct handle facilities that run multiple contaminant-producing processes in the same building? ⌄
Aerospace manufacturing facilities often combine metal machining, composite work, chemical processing, and coating in a single building. US Duct designs each duct run and collection point around its specific process, rather than forcing every contaminant type through one generic system.
How quickly can US Duct turn around a quote for an aerospace facility project? ⌄
US Duct offers a 24-hour turnaround on quotes. DuctQuote lets dealers and engineers build a 3D system layout and generate a quote directly, which helps keep fast-moving facility builds and retrofits on schedule.
WHAT our CUSTOMERS SAY

Trusted by Industrial Professionals

"US Duct is the f*****g best."

Bryce U.
Air Filtration

Don't worry about missing parts or improper ducting design. These guys know what they are doing when it comes to this stuff.

Chris N.

Wanted to reach out to say how awesome it is to have US Duct as a vendor of Air Cleaning Technologies. I am new to the duct industry and can’t say enough great things about US Duct and its employees, especially Mel. Mel has helped me on several applications to better understand US Duct products and she has been a life saver on one or two “emergency” type situations when the customer needed product right away or to get me out of a bind. Thank you for US Duct’s great service!

Darren W.
Air Filtration

Before switching to US Duct, cleanup around our CNC routers was a constant battle. The new system helped improve airflow consistency and dramatically reduced dust buildup across the shop.

Jason T.

Adolfo is a professional in his craft. He is easy to work with and efficient. He is prompt in providing the information you need to help with install deadlines.

Jennifer N.
Woodworking

We run planers, sanders, and CNC equipment all day. The system has handled the airflow demands without becoming a maintenance headache.

John C.
Woodworking

In my 18 years in woodworking machinery sales, I have worked with several ductwork suppliers. However, I only deal with US Duct now for several reasons. The team I work with (Kenzie, Blaire, Jameson and Garren) is professional, responsive, and they get me the information I need to sell more ductwork. For me, there is no other ductwork supplier to even consider in this industry. US Duct gives me the time and support needed to sell more ductwork! The people at US Duct are more than just a vendor, they are partners that provide me the information I need to sell more ductwork!

I wanted to give you a heads up I just spoke to Upstate Door, and they are super happy you and your team made the pickup of their product all work out as this is my largest customer, and plan on trying to pipe the entire factory once they get all the workflow changes done and this will defiantly put a feather in your hat!!! We probably do not tell you enough that we always appreciate all that US Duct does because it has become a common practice for you to go the extra mile !! Thanks Again, Kyle.
