ProcessBarron designs, manufactures, and installs vortex dampers, also known as variable inlet vane (VIV) dampers, to control and pre-spin airflow at the inlet of industrial fans. These dampers are engineered to spin entering air or gas in the direction of fan wheel rotation, improving fan efficiency, reducing wear, and extending the life of fan components.
All custom vortex dampers are designed, manufactured, shop-assembled, and tested in-house at our Alabama facilities, ensuring top-quality performance for demanding industrial applications. Vortex dampers are ideal for fan inlets handling flue gases up to 500°F, including applications in power generation, chemical processing, and industrial ventilation systems. ProcessBarron offers multiple designs to meet your operational requirements, including cantilevered blade and center hub support blade configurations.
ProcessBarron provides custom-engineered vortex dampers with advanced features for efficient, durable, and low-maintenance operation:
ProcessBarron provides complete vortex damper solutions combining precision engineering, durable materials, and turnkey field service. Our cantilevered and center hub designs improve fan performance, reduce wear on fan components, and enable low-maintenance operation.
All dampers are manufactured, tested, and shop-assembled in-house, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. With field installation, inspection, and emergency repair services, facilities can maximize operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain safe, reliable airflow control.
