Ideal air distribution for manufacturers

We know that working conditions in manufacturing and production companies might not be the easiest, which is why it’s so important to maintain high air quality and employee comfort. With fabric-based air distribution systems, you’ll not only protect your product, but also the health of your employees.

We have the experience and the know how to guide you through your project

Ducts are flexible and can maintain their shape even after accidental bumps

Cleanroom certified

Our fabric is rated for cleanrooms and associated controlled environments

Danfoss, Denmark

“We wanted to use a fabric solution to optimize our energy usage through lower pressure drop. FabricAir has delivered a good solution for our air transportation purposes.

In fact, we’ve ordered a slightly smaller duct for the other end of the same production facility.”

Manager of GS-RBT & Senior Consultant HVAC, Danfoss Global Service

FAQ

Fabric duct systems are lightweight and arrive pre-engineered for the project, which can reduce installation time and heavy handling compared with conventional metal ductwork. Installation can often be planned around ongoing operations, but whether production can continue depends on access, safety requirements, and project scope.

Machinery, production processes, and different work zones can create varying heat loads across a facility. Even air distribution helps reduce local hot and cold spots and supports more stable conditions around equipment, materials, and employees.

A FabricAir Dispersion System consists of four main components: profile, fabric, flow model, and suspension. These are combined according to the facility’s geometry, airflow requirements, process heat loads, required throw, and installation conditions.

Potential savings can come from lower transportation weight, faster installation, simpler handling, and reduced insulation requirements in suitable applications. The actual cost difference depends on the size, complexity, materials, and system used for comparison rather than one fixed percentage.

Yes, when the fabric duct system is designed with lower overall system resistance. Fewer branches, terminal diffusers, and balancing components can reduce pressure requirements and fan power. Actual energy savings depend on airflow, static pressure, fan efficiency, and operating conditions.
