Fabric air ducts TEXAIR

Producing the air socks, TEXAIR uses materials that are chemically resistant and non-reactive to the majority of components floating around in the air. And for using in aggressive environments or at enterprises whose equipment has high requirements for the materials, TEXAIR uses special fabrics. Some our fabrics made of out of 100% polyester with no admixtures or additives exhibits sufficient resistance to such substances as synthetic hydrochloric acid, chemically pure sulfuric acid, and ammonium chloride, which allows it to be used for ventilation systems in facilities for microcircuitry production. We are able to make ducts material with special coating with a particular combination of properties. So, customer can get a unique fabric that is the best for interaction with the aggressive environment that they work in. That's the way how we can offer a system of ducts for special kind of facility without needs to depend on the standard solutions that the market pushes.

One of the characteristics of antistatic fabric is freedom off the pressure from an electrostatic tension that is created as a result of friction from air particles. Since the ducts fabrics are primarily dielectric, fabrics are used which are made out of carboniferous thread in So customer can use such ducts in facilities which have additional requirements are necessary to protect against explosions.

TEXAIR Company has materials at its disposal with a broad range of consumer properties. Since the conditions which the fabric ducts may be used vary greatly, each kind of fabric used features its own temperature range. This allows customers to choose the most suitable solution for their facility, rather than overpaying for a universal option.

The antibacterial effect reaches by way of adding special properties to the fabric by including special threads within the material (bacteriostatic or antibacterial). The content of threads with antibacterial properties is somewhere between 5 and 99% of the entire volume of the fabric and may feature such components as triclosan, pure silver or silver ions, silver zeolites (silver with a non-organic ceramic base), copper oxides, and non-organic bonds of silver and zinc. The use of such materials lets to extend the life cycle of the fabric diffuser during intervals between operations.

The fabric ducts are produced out of certified materials characterized by a high level of durability and wear-resistance. The ducts can handle a large number of washing cycles in a washing machine. If the rules of use are properly observed, the service life of the air socks will exceed 10 years. And, considering the fact that people clean ventilation systems, as seldom as possible, fabric ducts are the most preferable option from an using perspective because the expenses is lower.

Fabric ducts are lighter-weight than metallic ducts. The maximum density of the material is about 600 g/m², so the average weight of a linear meter of a duct usually is less than a kilogram. This allows them to be snapped onto self-supported constructions in which the use of traditional systems would be out of the question. So the use of fabric air ducts allows a full ventilation system in any facilities without in any limits for the customer.

TEXAIR presents a wide selection of various standard sizes and geometrical shapes of ducts. For example for facilities with low ceilings we recommend using semi-circular-shaped ducts; and for ceilings where no systems can possibly be placed, we recommend ducts of the form of a segment or a sector. Such a variety offers give a chance to select the duct with the most convenient, lowest-cost shape option and placement, regardless of the particular features of the facility.

One of the main advantages with textile air socks is ease of assembly. In this regard, customers can save as much as up to 90% in expenses compared to dealing with traditional metallic systems. And keeping in mind that any ventilation system must be services and periodically cleaned, the ease of its disassembly and subsequent installation gives fabric ducts an unmistakable advantage over zinc-coated ducts.

Any part in TEXAIR's ducts can be easily replaced. Thanks to its simple zipper fastening connection mechanism. If suddenly for any reason one has the need to replace a segment of the duct, this can be easily done by the customer on his or her one without having to call to installation company.

TEXAIR air ducts provide for efficient distribution of air without any additional expensive distribution devices. And such ducts allow customers to cut back on their budget thanks to the simplicity of installation as well as the lower cost of the materials and components compared to the zinc-coated ducts. When folded up and packaged their overall dimensions are far less, resulting in lower delivery expenses. Textile air ducts do not require many elements that traditionally systems need, in particular: air distribution elements (diffusers, anemostats, grids, etc.), mufflers, numerous attachments and connecting parts, and fixtures.

The ducts are easily connected with metallic ducts into a unified, combined system. For assembly onto the supply line, a connecting component is provided for on the duct which can be used to connect a textile system to the end of any shape or configuration. This is very convenient since it doesn't require the manufacture of any specially shaped elements on the customer’s part.

The ducts do not require any additional measures to return a balance as a result of the air flow. The customer is geting a fully prepared, balanced system in terms of the air distribution system’s air flow and pressure. For this reason, the customer will no longer have the need to subsequently readapt the system following installation.

The ducts feature a smooth inner surface designed to minimize losses due to air friction against the wall, which impedes the deposit of contaminations fabrics used in production feature a hygiene certificate, are tested, and have been approved; they do not cause any allergic reactions and are thus completely safe and suitable for use in the various facilities. This allows air socks’ use to continue to expand in the fields where previously metallic ducts were used as default.

The air socks can be operated with faster air speeds than metallic ducts and feature a smooth inner surface. For this reason, the TEXAIR ducts do not accumulate a dust layer in the course of their operation. The entire system, including all its passages and turns, are manufactured out of fabric, so it can undergo cleaning and washing with no restriction in a washing machine. As a result, the amount customers will be able to save on subsequent servicing is also an unmistakable advantage that fabric ducts have.

The air ducts are capable of accentuating and adding variety to the design of an interior. This is yet another benefit that TEXAIR brings to the table. Depending on the customer’s interior, we can offer the choice of various construction styles and a broad color range. Furthermore, ducts with a neon lighting and their one-of-a-kind of appearance could add to your facility a touch of exclusivity. This designer solution will undoubtedly attract a greater level of attention to your facility among visitors.
