When companies add or relocate production equipment, they often focus on electrical requirements while overlooking the critical role of properly designed dust collection ductwork. Poorly sized or configured duct systems can lead to dust accumulation on equipment, products, within ductwork, and even in workers' lungs, creating operational and safety risks. Unlike electrical upgrades, duct modifications require specialized knowledge of airflow, dust transport, and collection system design. Many facility owners struggle with questions about system capacity, costs, equipment changes, and optimal performance. The key to a successful solution is partnering with a ducting and dust collection expert who can evaluate production equipment, material characteristics, and existing system challenges to design an efficient, cost-effective dust collection system that supports long-term operational needs.
Segmented Elbows
Segmented elbows, also known as gored elbows or gored segmented elbows, are segments joined together by welding or mechanically locking them together. The mechanical method incorporates a machine that forms the ends of the segments (gores) so that one segment fits into the other and then mechanically locks them together.
18 gauge is the heaviest metal for this mechanical locking method. Heavier gauge metal requires that the segments be welded.
Available in sizes 7-24", any degree, and radius of .75xD and up.
