Sand Trap Louvre
- Size Range - 350x350 mm to 2250x2250 mm
- Airflow Rate: 150 m³/h – 2500 m³/h
Product Overview
The Sand Trap Louvre is specifically engineered for air intake applications in high-dust and sandy environments, ensuring the removal of airborne sand and debris before it enters HVAC systems. It is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and desert environments where airborne particles could impact ventilation efficiency and equipment longevity.
Manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel or aluminum, this louvre features vertically arranged blades that allow air to pass while efficiently trapping sand and other large airborne contaminants. Designed with a self-cleaning mechanism, collected sand naturally falls into the louvre’s drainage section and is expelled without requiring external power or filtration.
This low-maintenance and highly durable solution supports wall-mounted and ducted installations and is available with optional mesh protection for enhanced filtration.
Key Features
High-Efficiency Sand Filtration: Specialized blade design prevents sand and dust infiltration into HVAC systems.Durable Construction:
Made from galvanized steel or aluminum, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life.
Self-Cleaning System: Collected sand naturally falls and exits through drainage openings, reducing maintenance requirements.
Optimized Airflow with Low Pressure Drop: Maintains efficient ventilation while minimizing airflow resistance.
No Moving Parts: Passive operation with zero power consumption, ensuring high reliability.
Flexible Installation Options: Can be wall-mounted or integrated into duct systems based on application requirements.
Optional Wire Mesh Protection: Additional mesh options available for further filtration of airborne contaminants.
