Perfectly equipped against heat with hot gas dampers from RBU
With the extremely robust hot gas dampers (HGK) from RBU, you will make the right choice for years and decades when it comes to shutting off and controlling a wide variety of volume flows at high temperatures. We always work with generous safety reserves while observing optimum flow conditions.
Whether it's cast iron blades, stainless steel, ceramics, or refractory concrete, we are skilled at working with a variety of heat-resistant materials suitable for use at high temperatures and abrasive dusts. The damper blade of our hot gas dampers, for example, is designed so that it will not warp when heated to high temperatures. Depending on requirements, we also offer air or water cooling for the damper disc and shaft or other special design features. We will be happy to advise you on this.
Thermal processes in particular are extremely diverse and place extremely high demands on process engineering. Every component must function absolutely perfectly even at temperatures above 1000°C. The reproducibility of different parameters regarding atmospheres and temperatures during production must also be ensured in order to always achieve the highest quality of products. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can offer you hot gas dampers for any control and shut-off task up to a max. temperature of 1100°C. Of course always perfectly adapted to your plant.

Areas of application for our hot gas dampers
Hot gas dampers are mainly used in incineration and furnace plants, and RBU specimens have also been in use there for years and decades. A more concrete example are Waste incineration plants. There, domestic, bulky and commercial waste is thermally treated and recycled. The end products are energy in the form of steam and grate ash with metal scrap.
In order to ensure absolutely safe and efficient process gas control at the high temperatures required for the thermal treatment of waste, our customers use the robust as well as wear-resistant RBU hot gas dampers. In most cases, this takes place in conjunction with other products from our portfolio. For the discharge of ash, for example, RBU solid gate valves are successfully used.
Ceramic can heat
The high-temperature range in particular places particularly high demands on materials and technology. However, we see this as a challenge that we successfully met years ago. As a material in this area, ceramics in particular are at the forefront. This is especially true for systems with corrosive components (e.g. sulfur) in the hot gas stream and/or temperatures above 900°C. Here, ceramics are a highly interesting alternative to classic steel materials.
Our hot gas dampers, including just those made of high quality ceramics, are perfectly designed for installation in insulated ducts that are operated with exhaust gases from furnaces at high temperatures. We will be happy to provide you with more information about the materials we use. Just contact us.
Durable solutions for thermal processes
For more than 25 years, the RBU Group has been your No. 1 contact when it comes to durable solutions for thermal processes. Our hot gas dampers are robust and continue to operate precisely and reliably even under the most adverse conditions, where others give up after a short time. They can withstand a maximum pressure of up to 200 mbar and a temperature of up to 1100°C, thus living up to the name RBU.
You too can rely on hot gas dampers that are still absolutely reliable in operation even after many years. With RBU, you save costs and guarantee smooth processes in your plants.
Individual hot gas dampers for your plant
We always design our hot gas dampers according to the specific requirements of our customers. Each plant has its own special requirements and the material and design of the respective damper must be precisely adapted to these. Of course, we also attach great importance to good accessibility and possibilities for simple and quick retrofitting.
