Metal Dust Collector Pipe

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.

Metal dust collector pipe.

Third and most important plastic pipe is non conductive and builds up a static charge as charged. Safety efficiency and strength are coiled together in these superior dust collection pipes and fittings. Second plastic pipe elbows have a short radius which encourages clogs and compromises system efficiency. 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.

Choose from our selection of dust collector ductwork including over 375 products in a wide range of styles and sizes. Because of its quick fit design dust collector pipe is easily expandable and moveable. All steel construction offers superior rigidity minimizes static discharge and adds strength. That is not to say that metal is not a better choice it is.

Metal is also a more expensive choice. 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. Fittings are constructed of 20 gauge steel.

Pipe is made of 24 gauge steel. Nordfab dust collector pipe is airtight leak free and resilient against abrasion.
