Flexible industrial ducting provides a practical and versatile solution for moving air, fumes, dust, vapours, exhaust, gases and lightweight materials in industrial and manufacturing environments. Designed to handle demanding operating conditions, flexible ducting can be used in ventilation systems, dust collection equipment, fume extraction systems, material handling applications and industrial exhaust systems.
Unlike rigid metal ductwork, flexible industrial ducting can bend, flex and route around equipment, machinery and other obstacles. This makes it particularly useful in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, maintenance operations and other industrial environments where space and accessibility can be challenging.
Global Rubber supplies rubber and industrial products for a wide range of applications, including flexible ducting solutions designed for industrial and manufacturing requirements.
Flexible industrial ducting is a flexible tube or duct designed to transport air, gases, fumes, dust, particles and other materials from one location to another. Depending on the application, industrial ducting can be manufactured from materials such as PVC, polyurethane (urethane), thermoplastic rubber, silicone, neoprene-coated fabrics, fiberglass-reinforced materials and other specialty compounds.
The construction and material of the ducting determine its suitability for different operating conditions. For example, a duct used for abrasive material handling may require a highly abrasion-resistant material, while ducting used for hot air or exhaust may require a high-temperature silicone or specialty construction.

Flexible industrial ducting is available in a variety of diameters, wall constructions and configurations to accommodate different airflow, temperature, pressure, flexibility and material-handling requirements.
Flexible ducting offers several advantages over conventional rigid ductwork, particularly in industrial environments.
One of the primary benefits of flexible industrial ducting is its ability to bend and maneuver around equipment, machinery and structural obstacles. This allows ducting to be installed in locations where rigid ductwork may be difficult or impractical to use.
Flexible ducting is generally easier to position and install than rigid duct systems. It can often be routed through confined or difficult-to-access areas, helping simplify installation and maintenance.
Many flexible industrial ducts are manufactured using lightweight polymers, fabrics or reinforced materials. Their relatively low weight can make them easier to handle, install, remove and reposition.
Certain industrial ducting products are specifically designed to withstand abrasive materials such as dust, powders, granules, wood chips and other particulate matter. Abrasion-resistant ducting can help extend service life in demanding material-handling applications.
High-temperature flexible ducting is available for applications involving hot air, exhaust and fumes. Specialized materials and constructions can provide resistance to elevated temperatures where standard ducting materials may not be suitable.
