Foundry
Foundry work is the most punishing duty a capture system sees. Heat at the pour, abrasive sand through every run, and a finishing area throwing metallic dust — all in the same building.
What we design for
- High-temperature fume at pour and molten metal handling
- Abrasive sand dust at shakeout that wears duct from the inside out
- Grinding and finishing dust, often metallic and combustible
- Ambient heat that makes the whole building a ventilation problem, not just the hoods
How we approach it
Abrasion is the design driver. We build heavier gauge on the outside radius of elbows where sand cuts fastest, and route runs so the wear points can be inspected and replaced without dismantling the system. Light-gauge commodity duct does not survive here.
Every system is sized to your process rather than pulled from a catalog. We supply the collector, fabricate the ductwork and hoods in our own shop, and handle the mechanical install in-house — one crew from drawing to start-up.
