Fox Equipment - Guillotine / Slide Gate Dampers

Slide Gate or “Guillotine” Damper are most commonly specified when positive isolation for maintenance is the primary function of the damper and also for severe service conditions. Guillotines are classified in two styles: Low Leak and Zero Leak. Both styles are ideal for a high degree of isolation while providing low pressure drop when the dampers are in the open position. Guillotine dampers are commonly used in systems that require routine access to a duct, i.e.; maintenance, inspection, or repair. Typical heavy duty applications include: Steel mills, Power plants, cement plants, reformers, petrochemical, and heavy duty exhaust systems.
