Process Tee Dampers

Kono Kogs offers custom design and fabrication of process diverter dampers and tee dampers (aka T-dampers, bypass dampers) for use in ductwork systems. These dampers simply divert the flow of air to another direction with opposing damper blades. When needed, an additional trim damper blade is provided to balance system flow. The primary use for these dampers is handling airflow emissions directed to industrial oxidizers. We also provide comprehensive industrial damper repair, rebuild & maintenance services, along with custom ductwork design, fabrication and installation.

See how we fabricated and installed ductwork & diverter dampers to accommodate a facility expansion for a cabinetry laminate supplier.

Diverter Damper Custom Design and Fabrication

Kono Kogs has decades of experience fabricating metal components required to rebuild and refurbish thermal oxidizer systems and began fabricating tee dampers (RTO dampers) in 2020 to meet our need for quality and lead time compression. We now provide our diverter dampers to a variety of industries looking for custom-built, cost-effective process air diverters.

Every damper is thoroughly tested, calibrated and set up before it leaves our facility.

Industrial Damper Features

We take pride in building diverter tee dampers the right way: with a heavy walled body, and reinforced damper blades. Proper design and materials are essential to achieve a tight shutoff of process air for efficient operation and equipment lifespan.

Standard Specifications:

  • Sizes from 10” to 60”
  • Horizontal (thru to oxidizer) or vertical (thru to atmosphere) orientations
  • Carbon steel wall body thickness up to .19” with flanged connections
  • Process air temps up to 750°F standard
  • Pressure up to 1PSI & 4000 FPM process air standard (higher available)
  • 99% shut-off @5” W.C.
  • Three C-1018 thru shafts (3/4″ to 2″ diameter)
  • Single 2000+ inch-lb. torque actuator for powerful sealing
  • Carbon steel slave linkage with single actuator for cost efficiency
  • Metal-to-metal blade seats (no gasket) for precise air control and less leakage
  • Manual balancing damper for oxidizer-connected ducting
  • Actuator mounting bracket with heavy-duty Triac® electric direct-drive actuator with internal limit switches
  • Grease-lubricated ball bearings mounted on stand-offs over adjustable packing glands (bearing stand-offs accept optional 3” insulation and cladding)
  • Fully configured with end-of-travel limit switches, two auxiliary limit switches & manual (locking) trim damper

Optional features:

  • Weatherproof tie-off/setup wiring enclosure mounted to tee damper for ease of installation and local actuator setup
  • 3” insulation and cladding
  • Tadpole seat seal option
  • Round (standard), square, or rectangular ducting
  • Manual, or pneumatic actuation with spring return and failsafe

Special configurations and material construction available upon request.
