Single Blade Dampers for Low-Leakage and Shut-Off Applications
Air Systems fabricates custom single blade dampers in round and rectangular configurations from 6″ to 120″ for solvent-laden, paint-laden, and hot gas airstreams from -32°F to 1200°F.
Where multi-blade dampers bind or corrode, a single blade with the right seal holds leakage down to 0.5% — built to your exact duct dimensions.

Spray booth exhaust, RTO systems, oven bypass, and dust collector isolation applications where leakage past the blade seal is not acceptable and multi-blade dampers can bind or corrode.
How Single Blade Dampers Are Built & Configured
Multi-blade dampers can bind or corrode in high-temperature, solvent-laden, and paint-laden airstreams. We fabricate single blade dampers to your exact duct dimensions, with seal options and a temperature range that cover spray booth, RTO, oven bypass, and dust collector duty.
- 01 Swing thru, metal to metal, metal step, scissor, and tadpole seal configurations
- 02 Carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for ambient through abrasive airstreams
- 03 Manual operation or electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuation
- 04 Enclosed blade option keeps the blade inside the body in the open position
- 05 Factory insulation, field insulation provisions, and epoxy or powder coat finishes
- 06 Round or rectangular from 6" to 120", horizontal or vertical airflow
